Moving

Please bear with me while I move house. It’s never as quick and easy as you think.

I’ll be back in action next week…

Art Auction Action

A few of my original ink drawings will be up for auction this month at Toovey’s in Washington, West Sussex.

I’ve given them the originals of 3 of my tree images, done in indian ink and coloured acrylic ink on bristol board. You can check out my page on their site here.

Be sure to check this out if you’re in the area. There is a lot of great work up for sale to the person who can wave highest.

See you there.

Bank Holiday Happy

We’re all exhausted after another great show. Thanks to everyone who made it down to check it out.

If you missed the show this year, keep an eye on the website and the facebook group for updates in the coming months and don’t forget to have a look at Cinemascope, which opens this friday and runs throughout May at Boxbird.

There are still copies of the Show Below zine available containing contributions from all of this year’s artists (plus a couple of extras). Email us if you’d like to swap one for £5.

See you all next year!

Show Below 3

It doesn’t feel like a year has passed, but our third show is only a couple of weeks away.

Show Below 3 will be taking place, as usual, in the Brighton Media Centre basement gallery at 15-17 Middle Street, Brighton. We are only opening for the first weekend in May this year, so make sure you don’t let it pass you by. There’s a great new selection of original artwork, silkscreens, photography, T-shirts and more to see (and buy!). It’s a bank holiday weekend too, so what better excuse is there to spend a couple of days by the sea.

It’s good for you, and there’s a pub next door.

To request an invitation to the private view, email info@showbelow.co.uk

Hope to see you all there.

Barbarella for Cinemascope

Barbarella silkscreens (in progress)

I’ve been busy pulling my squeegee recently in preparation for Boxbird’s “Cinemascope” exhibition in May. I’m working on two silkscreen prints based on the 1968 Barbarella movie. If all goes well, they should look something like this…

Barbarella PsychadellaQueen of the galaxy (working title)

The show opens at Boxbird in Hove from May 8th 2009 and is definitely  worth checking out. I’ve already seen some great stuff for Shogun Assassin, Dawn of the Dead and Watership Down. Amazingly, I don’t think any two artists have chosen the same film.

I’m really looking forward to this one. See you there.
