Shop notice...

As some of you may be aware, i am currently in the process of moving house. Consequently, through 24th Jan - 7th Feb orders placed at my online shop will have some delays in getting processed. Bear with me, as soon as we have settled in a bit i will get orders sorted out. A few orders that have been placed this last weekend should (with any luck) go out at the end of this week. Buyers will of course be kept up to date via email.

Cheers.

The Long Walk preview..

As promised heres my 'The Long Walk' preview for the Corey Helford Gallery group show 'In the nursery'. The show starts on the 29th Jan and looks like its going to be another great one for the gallery, some great artists are showing (see my previous post here). Below the main preview is a few detail shots.

Hello 2011...

First post of the new year (a little late maybe), its only a couple of weeks in and already the year is shaping up to be a good one. We have found a new place to live which is a massive relief and should hopefully be moving in on the 26/27th Jan- consequently im now surrounded by boxes and having great fun trying to juggle packing and work.

My piece for the Corey Helford 'In the nursery' show arrived in LA yesterday, with any luck it will be in one piece when they unwrap it (i did package it to survive nuclear fallout so it should be ok). Ive also just finished a portrait piece for a group show with London Miles Gallery in Feb- a tattoo inspired exhibition that will be showing work inspired by the art together with paintings and drawings by tattooists themselves. I dont think theres much info at the moment but i think it show be showing as of the 18th Feb.

I will put in previews of both pieces in the next few days- hope everyone is having a good new year so far!

Farewell to 2010...

I have to say that 2010 sucked. Bigtime. Ive had years where things have been up and down, as does everyone- but never have i had a year where the bad has so dramatically outweighed the good. And im going to blame it on the year itself purely as it seems like its not just affected myself and my family but the vast majority of the people i encounter all have had similar tales of bad luck throughout the year.

Im not going to continue to waffle about all that has happened this year (there has been some good points by the way- its wasnt all bad!), but lets just say i am looking forward to the new year like never before. So in short, goodbye 2010- glad we were just passing through, please dont visit again!

I hope that you have all had a great Christmas holiday and that you have a great time on New Years Eve- whatever youre up to. Heres to a better, brighter 12 months!

Cheers!

The Long Walk Teaser...

I released a small Instagram pic of part of my piece for the Corey Helford Gallery group show 'In the Nursery' a couple of days ago but wanted to share a slightly bigger version- it doesnt show much more than the other pic but it is a bit bigger and a lot clearer!



My piece is entitled 'The Long Walk' and was painted with a cross of creepy / cute that im getting to feel quite comfortable with now. I also wanted to do something that i would be happy to have up in my own daughters room, fortunately / unfortunately shes a bit young to appreciate the darker side. Its approx 550x550mm (22" sq) digital painting mounted on board and framed. The show starts the 29th Jan 2011 and will be available to purchase from CHG. I think the online preview will be going out a week or so before the show starts.

The list of artists involved so far will make an awesome show and im honoured to be a part of it. Heres a list of some of the artists showing: Aiko, Chris Anthony, Shawn Barber, Scott G. Brooks, Ray Caesar, Sas and Colin Christian, Ben Eine, Korin Faught, Sarah Folkman, Paul Frank, Harma Heikens, Hush, Anita Kunz, Michael Mararian, Elizabeth McGrath, Brandi Milne, Billy Norrby, Brendan Sharkey, Natalie Shau, Mike Stilkey, David Stoupakis, Sage Vaughn, Nick Walker, Martin Wittfooth and Chet Zar.
