still alive.

Sorry it's been awhile, I've had the inevitable after exhibition illness, but alls well and I'm now working hard on the next show. the GIGhibition however did phenomenally well, we had well over 500 people attend the preview and all of the musicians where fantastic, sales were very high as well, all in all a great night, nowI'm off to work on show 4.

Thank you Isle of Man Arts Council

It has occurred to me that I have not said thank you to the Isle of man Arts Council for funding my year long project, so this post is for you guys, thank you for funding Welcome to The Neighbourhood.

Wow what a busy month and sneak peek

I can safely say that March 2011 has been a very busy month, I think the deadlines for this project are just getting shorter and shorter, anyway all of the artwork is now finished and been approved by all of the musicians involved in the project. It was weird promoting the show before I'd finished creating it, but hey it was a fun experience.

I've also really enjoyed working with musicians and songwriters for this show, it is something I would love to do again.

anyway here is a sneaky peek at some of the work...see you on Monday :)

Nice write up on the BBC about the upcoming show

Exhibition 3

I know it's been a bit of awhile since my last update, but rest assured I have been hard at work on exhibition 3. So here it is, just under a month away and despite being ill, my sister and my nieces invading I'm about halfway through the artwork for the project, the image used for the poster is entitle "Hospital Patio" and is based on the song by Planes over Paris. I have been very fortunate to work with all of the very talented bands and musicians in this project. More details to follow..

Work Work!

So after having literally a day off after the last show finished, I have begun work on exhibition number 3, this show is a little different, as it is also a GIG as well, essentially what is happening is that I'm working with 5 singers / bands, the idea being that I create images based off of their songs, so it will be an interesting night, I have the venue confirmed and all five of the acts I'm working with.

I have to say I feel very privileged to be working with such amazing musicians, the songs everyone has submitted are amazing. I will announce who these extremely talented people are soon.

The show is Due to open on April 4th at the villa Marina arcade.
