Sketchbot Custom Teaser
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010I pretty much finished my Sketchbot custom last night, apart from some varnishing which will happen later in the week once the paint has fully dried. I showed some pictures of it to Steve Talkowski, who is Sketchbot’s creator and invited me to participate in the show, and he encouraged me to post a teaser image ahead of the show so here it is.
What you’re seeing a little over 2cm tall 
And that’s all you’re getting before the show opens on 26th March at myplasticheart in New York.
Sketchbot Custom Show in NYC with a Custom by Me
Monday, March 1st, 2010Steve Talkowski has finally lifted the lid off the Sketchbot custom show that will be taking place at myplasticheart in New York, opening on March 26th. Which means that I can also lift the lid on my involvement as there will be a custom Sketchbot by myself on show. I’ve included the promo card images below, click on them for bigger versions.
It’s going to be a big show of customs, with 50 different artists involved. Click the image below to see just who’s doing a custom Sketchbot.
Better still I’ll be in New York for the launch night which gives me an opportunity to meet Steve in person for the first time and see the customs in all their glory! I just hope my custom makes it across the pond in one piece once it’s finished…
Work Displayed in New Mills Original
Thursday, February 25th, 2010I recently became a member of a community run gallery called New Mills Original in New Mills, Derbyshire. It’s an interesting project and I believe there are now around 40 artists who are part of it. Today is their first day open after the latest gallery re-hang and I now have a selection of paintings, a drawing and a customised resin toy on display (and available for purchase). This gives me a permanent display area locally, which can only be a good thing, and it will be interesting to see how the project develops.
If you’re in the area I’d strongly recommend you visit New Mills Original as you’ll find a very eclectic mix of painters, illustrators, photographers and crafters on display.
Cafe Exhibition Opens Today
Friday, November 27th, 2009A few months ago I was asked by some friends if I would like to exhibit my paintings in the new cafe they were opening in the village we live in. Yesterday I delivered the paintings and helped to arrange and hang them and the cafe opens today. I took some quick photos yesterday of the paintings (click on the thumbnails for larger views). I’m hoping to get some better photos in the next couple of days.
I have five paintings on display, all acrylic on canvas. You can see better images of the paintings below (again, click the thumbnails for larger views):
The cafe is called Rosie’s Tea and Coffee Rooms and is located on Kinder Road in Hayfield, Derbyshire (Google Maps link). The paintings will be on display for around a month and are all for sale. It’s quite exciting as it’s actually the first time I’ve ever displayed my work in public “in the flesh”. So, if you’re in the area and want to see these pieces do pop into Rosie’s for coffee and cake!
