Bags have arrived!

The other day, I received a very large box, i yipped with excitement, my bags (fairtrade) had arrived.

Following the mailout I did yesterday about the Stella Dore show, a few folk wondered what these bags look like. Well, today it was sunny down Brighton beach, so I took my new shopper/ tote/ bag and paraded along the promenade!





The bags are:
MATERIAL: Cotton calico, dyed using traditional pigment dyes
SIZE: 38w x 43h - handle length 63cms
PRINT AREA: 28 x 28cms
LIMITED EDITION OF: 200

£15 each

And they are fairtrade accredited, so the cotton is from farmers who have decent working conditions and get a better price for their work.


Stella Dore have started to take pre-orders for them, so if you'd like one, you can either wait til the night of the 5th (email nina@stelladore.co.uk to get on the guest list!),or email stella@stelladore.co.uk to pre-order one.

Tom Brosseau Gig Photos

I am feeling a little fluffy around the edges today after the gig last night
it was yet another great atmospheric and warming gig at fair trade gallery, this time I had a chance to take lots of photos (last time at the private view i was either too busy chatting or a bit squiffy later on)



so i arrived to find Dan Shears playing his melodic loveliness to a packed crowd, they listened in a captivated silence,

The stage looked beautiful as ever, Dans voice is really sublime: check out http://www.myspace.com/danshearsmusic

and then Tim went on stage and presented the legend that is Tom Brosseau



His songs were interspersed with stories of being on the road

spell binding stuff


he had to travel all the way to brighton to play infront of an american flag



a satisfied crowd



the man was ok that bashed into the wall, but the window wasn't



and so to the pub,,,,, went to Hand and Hand a great little pub in Kemptown and listened to some incredible jazz very late on a sunday night



they were a treat

Gallery Shots

Ok, so the opening night pics were a bit atmopherically blurry, so heres some more slick pics of the gallery. As I am in the gallery every Sunday, I had the chance to take some pics before the open house hardcore did the rounds....


Heres the monty deep set frame with 'Darkness' on the left, & two of my favourites in the gloss ornate frames (framed by Tim in the gallery)


The long awaited Crime scene print (thats an Artist Proof up there as its still being printed, but is gonna be worth the wait...)


The Big Beautiful Nightmare (which seems to be a favourite to most), some beautifully white framed Red Stencils (all the frames are made by Tim at the gallery)


A view from the stage


Bo the cat making the place look more spooky. (flowers from my friend Tracy)


The stage with The Crime Scene print framed, behind is the huge 'Conquer' flag & Outside Threat on the left

I had a great time meeting people in the gallery, the response has been so positive so far, interestingly most people have asked why I use american flags (in a nut shell its because its a reflection of fear culture & american cinema)


Most people seem to want to know who is in what picture (sometimes its best to leave it to the imagination as everyone has their own opinion on who is the great & the good- so in future I think I'm gonna keep this one a secret!)


I'm in every sunday & the gallery is open Fri, Sat & Sun until 25 May, so if you haven't been in yet come check it out

:)

opening night

well.... the opening night was a blast, lots of wine was drunk, the place was packed, lots of friends old & new, and then as it hit about midnight i thought i should take some photos....



yeah i know they're a bit blurry, i think i probably was in full celebratory mood when i eventually picked up my camera


The band played a couple of sets, mesmerizing the crowd with some good, low down bluesy tunes,


They set the scene for a kinda dirty deep south chilled mood.

The Gin Club played til the wee hours, satisfying the crowd fully, the neighbours weren't best pleased though (sorry....)


the party went from civilised to hedonistic and the last peeps left about 6a.m.
just like a opening night should be.
