Alternative Press Fair This Sunday

It's that time of year again, I'll be there with my friends, Dr Parsons and Sean Duffield. In my humble opinion this is the most fun fair, I'm looking forward to it and hope to see you there.

Solipsistic Pop Three I Tells Yeh!

 My work has the honour of being included in the latest issue of Solipsistic Pop!

The book was launched last Friday at the Black Heart in Camden, and editor Tom Humberstone will be at Thought Bubble this weekend, if you're in the Leeds area be sure to pop by and say hi. I hear that lots of good stuff will be there, including the We Are Words and Pictures peeps, and Steve Tilotson and his Banal Pig, to name but a few.

Here's the link for the festival, www.thoughtbubblefestival.com.

And here's a detail from my contribution:

Here's to Dale

My website has been given a very kind write up by the lovely Dale Berning over at Bunt. 


Go check it out, it's a blog full to bursting with interesting links and well written observations and thoughts, as well as lots of kicking music and pictures. 


And here's a link to Dale's website, the online repository for her beautiful work:

From Brighton to Marrakech and Back Again

Salome.

I've just got back from a residency in Marrakech. It was great fun. I met some really lovely folk and worked like a camel in the Western Sahara.

The residency was organized by the highly hospitable, generous and incredibly hard working Amy Smyth-Said and Saad-Eddine Said over at Terre Sans Frontiere (http://www.terresansfrontiere.org/).

I was working alongside a group of international artists and musicians in a communal residence and studio space. Over the course of seven or eight days we worked together to create a group show at the Remp'Art Gallery and a musical extravaganza at the Theatre Royal.

I can safely say that the group of people I found myself amongst are some of the nicest I've ever met, so although I missed my family terribly whilst there, I am compensated by the fact that I have made many new friends.

The exhibition we made is on until the 4th October, if you find yourself in Marrakech feel free to go and check it out.
















Here's a pic of the space on the private view night and a drawing from the piece I submitted.

Minneapolis is Absolutely Fabulous

Ahoy There Seafarers,

If you find yourself in the wonderful city of Minneapolis (the City of Lakes) then be sure to pop by at CO Exhibitions (located at 1101 Stinson Blvd at the corner of Broadway & Stinson) to check out the currant exhibition, Smell the Glove. Artist Michael Gaughan invited interpretations of Spinal Taps album art as described in the movie. Here a photo of my contribution (on the left) in situ.


















And here a link to Michael's site and an article about the show:

Saint Martin of Tours

Open publication - Free publishing - More mental illness

Here's a digital version of the comic that I made for Islington Exhibits last month.

As a result of this project I was asked to make a few portraits of some of the folk that work and reside at St Martins. Here's one of those images, it's destined to be used as part of St Martins Annual report.
