London Art Fair opens 19 January

Happy new year,
After a good rest, plenty of Quality Streets and a good few rounds of Trivial Pursuit & over-eating & drinking, its back to the studio for me.
The First event of the year that I will have work at is London Art Fair (represented by Mauger Modern, which opens 19 January - 23 January at the Business Design Centre, London. For more info please visit www.londonartfair.co.uk

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...

the drawing and the painting

The Trick is a very recent piece on a section of an American flag (it sold at Art London last weekend), here's the original sketch that was the starting point for the piece above (ponytail here)

New Batch of Drawings

Ever the fan of vintage, antique and old materials, I recently found an old illustrated French Dictionary from 1919. Each of its 791 pages are full of illustrations, maps and little surprises and are the perfect material to embark on a project.

The drawing project is essentially an idea to fill every page of the dictionary with a drawing. Right now I am compelled to sketch characters that are visually striking and have a inner narrative.

Some of these drawings will become large flags in the future, some will remain a one off drawing. I'm currently drawing on the C's, so this is going to be a long project that will morph and change direction as my work develops over the coming months, or maybe years!

Currently these drawings are only availble from Etsy, my online shop, http://www.pamglew.etsy.com

You can join the RSS feed from the shop to see new drawings listed daily.

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.
