Cuckoo...

As its now only a few weeks away, heres my piece for the upcoming Suggestivism NYC show at Bold Hype Gallery in NYC. I posted some of the details for this show previously (Read it here if you havent already) but have been waiting to show the work till a little closer to show opening!

The show opens on 10th May, if youre in NYC or visiting around then- make sure you pop in to Bold Hype and check out what promises to be an amazing show!

So here she is, 'Cuckoo' is 20x24" (excluding the kick ass frame) and is probably one of my personal favorites that ive done recently. If youre interested in purchasing her- please get in touch with the gallery.




As well as the usual final image and detail shots, i also remembered to get some (rather bad) shots of the piece framed up!

Memories Project...

Awhile back i was asked to contribute to a charity art project that would go to help rasie money and awareness for the Maggies Cancer Caring centres. The Memories project was put together by Rishi Sodha, Stuart Boyd, Antony Kitson and freelance journalist and copywriter Garrick Webster.

Memories looks at the thoughts and experiences of individuals who have survived cancer, as well as those of people who have lost loved ones. There are ten stories inside, each looking at one person’s recollection of a particular day in the struggle against cancer. For each of these ‘memories’ a dozen leading artists, illustrators and designers have created their own visual response. Two further stories were ‘open brief’ and invited creatives worldwide to make their own images to accompany the text. The best submissions went into the book.

2 years later, the book was launched in Dec of 2011 and is available to buy direct from the Memories website. Below is a little look at my contribution to Patrick Woodcocks poem about the loss of his mother in 2006. Its a great book, with illustrations from a wide variety of artists and goes to help a worthwhile cause, order a copy while there are still some left!

Euryales Lament...

As i mentioned in an earlier post, heres another of the new pieces for the show at CHG on the 10th March, HiFructose magazine did a nice preview the other day and used a couple of the new pieces for the article (which you can view here)- as theres actually only 3 new works going in this show, that means theres only one that hasnt been shown yet! (leaving that till next week- unless it gets leaked sooner!)

Anyway, here you go, Euryales Lament. In Greek mythology Euryale was one of the 3 gorgon sisters, unfortunately for Medusa- Euryale and the other sister Stheno were both immortal (although im pretty sure that even if youre immortal- having your head cut off would mean your demise, Highlander wouldve been a very different film!). Heres the full image and some detail shots as usual.
