Custom Munny – Alfredo

moopf — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 10:50:31 +0000

I finished a new custom 8″ Munny yesterday, and he’s called Alfredo. Click the picture on the right to see other, larger views. He’s been painted with acrylics and sealed with acrylic spray. Alfredo is already on display in a relatively new local gallery that wants to carry some of my work, called the Cornerhouse. He’s also for sale, so please contact the gallery for more information.

I’m now starting work on some Dunnys so expect new pieces from me soon.

Sketchbot Custom Reveal, New York & MyPlasticHeart

moopf — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:29:42 +0000

So on Friday 26th March, the Sketchbot custom show launched at myplasticheart in New York. My custom, called ‘Monument’, was one of 50 artist pieces on show and here are some photos of my piece.

There are more photos of it in my Flickr set and also a second Flickr set of photos and notes of the process I used to create the piece.

I flew out to New York with my wife and kids on the Thursday to coincide with the launch night and we spent 5 fantastic days in New York on a short break, getting back earlier today. It’s the first time I’ve been to New York and I fell in love with the place. At the friday launch night event at myplasticheart for the Sketchbot show I got to meet so many artists that I admire, such as Steve Talkowski (the Sketchbot creator), Lou Pimental, Eric from Argonaut Resins and so many others.

If you’re interested, my piece is available for purchase from the myplasticheart web site.

Sketchbot Custom Teaser

I 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

moopf — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:33:40 +0000

Steve 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.

I just hope my custom makes it across the pond in one piece once it’s finished…

Work Displayed in New Mills Original

moopf — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:10:54 +0000

I 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

moopf — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:04:54 +0000

A 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!
