Behemoth Lives!
Margate is currently hosting a variety of art events related to T.S.Eliot (who wrote the Wasteland here almost a century ago), including a weekend dedicated to cats over Easter. I created this print based on Bulgakov's the Master and Margarita, and a giant painted banner version of it to hang up at the show. It was a bit last minute, but I got it all done on time. The show is on at the Viking Gallery off Northdown Rd over the long Easter weekend and until the 7th of April.... Read More...
Valentina Tereshkova stickers & Write More Letters patches
While unpacking my art stuff, I found some long-lost screen-printed patches, and some packets of kraft paper sticker blanks I had no memory of buying. So I rejigged some old artwork to create some stickers. ... Read More...
Frimaire, Nivose & Pluviose
I haven't updated here in a while. I worked long hours throughout January and also moved house. I've also now officially deferred my course until next year. I missed too much of the school year when I was ill. I'll have a little while off, and then look for some work to tide me over. In between all that I turned 31. Ancient, really. I'll have a bit more time on my hands over the next couple of weeks, so I'd better make use of it. Here's some links of interesting bits and bobs to tide you over.... Read More...

Malevich
Recently I went to the Malevich exhibition at the Tate Modern. I was vaguely aware of him as an avant-garde Russian artist (turns out more Polish-Ukrainian) and his black square paintings which caused such a fuss, but I didn't know much else about him. I'm glad I went to the exhibition.... Read More...
Space is Ace
Tomorrow at Power Lunches in Dalston, my friend Melanie is putting on an event with her compadres from the Art & Science MA at St Martins. There's going to be bands, sound art, projections, edible sugar glass planets, and a very large amount of tinfoil. I did the artwork for the flyer. If you like it, and are coming to the event, you will be able to buy A3 posters of it (a few people asked already). I don't know the exact prices yet, because I haven't got them printed yet, but the b&w edition will be roughly £1.50 and the colour version more.... Read More...
Death and the Penguin
I set myself a project recently of doing mock book covers. First up is Death and the Penguin, by Andrey Kurkov. I did both English and Russian versions of the cover. I'm not sure how successful it is, though. The map I used in the collage is of Kiev.... Read More...
