The circus is coming to town

Uncontrollably excited about my forthcoming show, its hosted by Eddie Lock & Death By Daylight, at Red Bull Studios in London Bridge. Yes a show south of the river, its like the new East End didn't you know?

'Circus' wil feature 15 brand spanking new pieces on flags, vintage American, British, Italian, French and a Swiss flag & some new handmade wall pieces which are abit special.

Oh and if you'd like any further info about the show, please email Eddie at info@eddielock.com

Hope to see you there x

Opening night at Moniker

So, we dropped in on Moniker Art Fair tonight, and I have to say thats the nicest and coolest Art Fair experience going, great vibe, the best urban art I've seen for a long time, friendly face... great to finally meet the Carmichaels & to chat with the lovely Jasmine & Falk of Herakut.

Big props to Frankie Shea for co-organising and ta for putting up 'Haunt' my flag on the Campbarbossa stand! Haunt has a new framing stylee- white background instead of the usual black. I took abit of convincing but it does looks pretty nice, so maybe I'll get afew more framed in white in the future.


The opening night was busy, heaving with the London Shoreditch cool sipping on the sparkling pink vino and having very engaging chats. With stunning art throughout, the Project spaces by Herakut and Polly Morgan were a particular highlight for me. Good to see some of the Art Star artists around too; the brilliant Matt Small had a wicked piece in Black Rat & Stefan Strumbel's clock was a nice treat.
Moniker is a perfect start to Art Fair season, check out the programme over the weekend...

Graffle Opening Night

... wow, just got back from the Graffle show opening night in London, its a diverse mix of work, all of the urban art inclination.....
This is my offering 'Drive by', Miss Hedren looking suitably iconic


and the piece to be auctioned called 'Daughter' which is a big one.

very nice brick walls,

my highlights were the Alexandros Vasmoulakis & Ian Francis pieces.... this is the beauty by Alexandros Vasmoulakis

and I think the general consensus was that this is completely awesome (Herakut)


Buy your tickets now from www.graffle.co.uk

I think they should be up for sale in the next few hours

Cancer

The last few days have been a bit tough. Fathers day seems to have been on heat this year.

(Forgive me for I have sinned by ©opy®ight)

my dad died over 2 years ago from cancer,
oddly enough, i got a little inheritence which was the financial boost i needed to go self employed and get an art studio & start to take my work more seriously...... in reality it was a bitter/ sweet pill to swallow, loosing a father to such a desperately undignified illness was harsh, but on the flip side i suddenly had this near 'perfect' existence of being a full time artist.

(Model 12 small by rosie emerson)

It's weird how things can never be perfect, you take the rough with the smooth i guess ....

So I heard about Cancersell a few months ago and as it contained the "C" word, i ignored it, if i read about cancer i usually cry within about 30 seconds, seriously. I pulled myself together, jesus after 2 and a half years it should be ok to read about cancer without crumbling like a wet lettuce.so i read about it on the flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/cancersell/

Operation magic kingdom by James Cauty

Then I saw the awesome other artists taking art on their site: http://www.cancersell.org.uk

And I had to get involved

I will be donating something to this very worthy cause (me thinks it will be a Crime scene screen print)

So, its ok (i love this!)

It's Ok by sighn

Cancer Sell will be held at:

31st July 2008 - 98 Leonard Street, London, EC1V 9AY. 6pm - 11pm.
