So, after spending ages working on my new board it's finally ready! I've been painting it at Heatham House youthclub and it's going to be on display as part of their ARThouse open studios. There will also be work by Skyhigh and Simon Taylor among others. The show will be on for the next couple of weekends, so pop down if you're in SW London.
I've created a print for the charity Art Blossom Japan. They are another organisation set up to raise money for those affected by the recent disasters. My image was inspired by the idea of a Japanese manga-ka creating a manga comic. Check their site for a chance to buy the print and lots of other Japan inspired work!
I've donated a copy of my Drive Back print to the Art for Japan market this Sunday. It's a charity event to raise money for survivors of the earthquake and tsunami. You can find out more about it at their blog. Please come down if you're in London that day, it should be really good!
Here are a few pics from my show at the library. It's such a cool space, with all the art books around and right in the centre of town. I got to choose which books went on the table by the window too! It's on for two more days, so pop down if you can!!
I'm going to be having a show at Westminster Reference Library starting next Tuesday 5 April. It's a great art library, with the second and third floors being dedicated to art and design books. They normally stay open until 8PM on weekdays. Check it out if you're in the area :)
So, I had my first experience of running an art workshop last week with the start of the Pencil It graphic novel season. I did a short workshop on drawing a scene and chibi manga artist Declan Talbert showed how to draw a chibi style character. The workshop was well attended and was followed by a talk by Paul Gravett and comic artist Ilya.
