Make Away

A friend is involved with a pop-up shop called Make Away. In the shop customers can try out screen printing, by selecting a design to print on a whole host of products. One of my drawings is available to print. Go check out all the other designs and a range of handmade products in their space in Brighton Square, South Lanes.

BPB & Photo Fringe

Visited the Phoenix Gallery and Brighton University  over the weekend to have a look at some of Brighton Photo Biennial and Photo Fringe. Here are a few photographs of my favourite bits and pieces from the exhibition.

Unphotographable by Michael David Murphy at the Phoenix Gallery. It explores through words the idea of the photograph that was never taken.

Also at the Phoenix is the Photobook Show Archive.  Spent quite a bit of time rumaging through all them, here is a few of the books that caught my eye.

Waterlitz

A couple of photos of the Waterlitz cargo container man near Brighton Marina. Was rather baffled by the whole performance, which was part of Brighton Festival, but it looked good. It featured a polar bear, a pterodactyl, the Titanic, Robin Hood and a man on a bike flying through the sky. Insane.

Morris Dancers

Paris

Spent a lovely long weekend in Paris sightseeing and being big kids at Disneyland. Tried to cram in as much as possible including a visit to the Pantheon - well worth a look see, the inside is beautiful.

Olympic Park

Rapid

*UPDATE* - Now on the Elsie Magazine Blog.

Today I had a go at the Random Word Challenge that came with a magazine called Elsie.  The aim was to google a word for images and select a range as your palette and create a illustration from them.

My word was: RAPID.

Here is the result.

Picture Perfect? ...

I am continuing to explore and make more collages for the Picture Perfect? body of work. Therefore I have created a Tumblr to document new collages.

Astronomy in the Pub

Last Weekend we went along to Astronomy in the Pub at Horns Lodge in South Chailey.  The the lack of light pollution and the clear night made the sky look amazing.

The next day at a car boot we found a book called Timothy's Space Book, it has some pretty cool illustrations.
