Momento Mori

The End of the Adventure

So sad,

My Lamb's Conduit Street adventure is over, I took down the work earlier this week. A big thanks to the lovely peeps at the Perseverance who gave up their wall space to me, Hannah Eaton and Esther McManus. And props to Tanya Meditzky who worked so hard putting the whole show on.

Here's a pic of some fella pointing at one of my pictures:

In other news, Out of the Box has been given an extra weekend at the No Format Gallery, go check it out.

All This Stuff, All This Weekend and Beyond!

Ahoy there,

I'm going to be at the Alternative Press Fair tomorrow with my close compatriot James Parsons. It's being held at the Conway Hall in London, and starts today! I'm really looking forward to it and hope to see you there.

The fair is just one part of a larger festival that the most excellent Jimi Gherkin and Peter Lally (amongst other fine notables) have made happen. Included in the wider events of the fair is an exhibition of drawings, paintings and prints at various shops and pubs on Lambs Conduit Street. Some of my drawings are being shown at the Perseverance public house alongside the work of Hannah Eaton and EstherMcManus. The show has been curated by the noble Tanya Meditzky.

Here's a pick of my work in situ:

The whole festival looks like it'll be a winner so try and come along. I heard that the latest issue of the Comix Reader will be available. that alone should make the trip worthwhile! 

In other news, Out Of The Box, the exhibition of box art I mentioned in my last post opened last night! Sadly I was unable to make the private view but it looks to be even better than the first show in Brighton. If you're in London take the time to have a gander why don't yeh! (I'll have some photos of it soon...)

 

Get Outta That Box Again...

Following the success of the its first incarnation during the Brighton Fringe festival Out of the Box has relocated to the No Format space in London. I'll be represented by this piece (and another one if I can finish it in time!):

Here's the need to know:

GRRRRR

New illustration, there you are my friends.

From Me Sketchbook, See

I'm on Tumblr, still working it all out, but I'll be using it to show you guys some of my sketchbook, ohh I feel so exposed.

Here's the image from today's post.  And here's the link to the actual blog: danlocke.tumblr.com

I'd like to link up all these blog's and twitters and facebooks etc. But trying to do it is making me feel old! If anyone has any handy hints, I'd be happy to hear them.

Post ELCAF Post

Would you look at all those people! Apparently 3000 bodies came out to gander at all the wonderful paper goods (and paper associated talks) that were on show yesterday at ELCAF! 

I had a really nice time, sharing a table with the very friendly and right honourable folks at Decadence. Having a coffee and comics chat with the Karrie Fransman, saying hiya to Alex Fitch, Hannah Berry, Seif Alhasani, Tom Humberstone and Luke Pearson and Rose Robbins amongst many others. As well as seeing the guys at Nobrow, who put on an absolute blinder of a show! 

There was so much great work to see, to be honest my wallet took a complete battering! I would also add that Joe Decie makes a very companionable traveling partner.
