A couple of things...

That I'm really keen on checking out in London town are The Print Club shop on Brick Lane which opened in December. There are prints from 40 artists including Mr Bingo, James Joyce, Jamie Reid, Ryan Todd, Pure Evil, Eine, Serge Seidlitz, Si Scott, Gary Taxali and Sarah King. 

I've spent most of the holiday period so far sorting through loads of old lead type in order to get my Letterpress up and running for 2011! So I though it would be rude of me not to check out Reverting to Type at Standpoint Gallery to check out what I'm up against! The exhibition is curated by Graham Bignell of The New North Press and graphic designer Richard Ardagh and features practitioners from all over to world. Lovely!

Bundles of happiness!

Merry Christmas everyone - see you in the new year!

Amusing Art

I trekked down to the Tate Modern yesterday in the snow - which wasn't really as difficult as it sounds. By far my favourite artist was David Shrigley, I love his twisted humour - a perfect example of how art doesn't have to be taken so seriously.

Paper Heart or BUST!
