HF EMPORIUM- THE FRONTROOM CAMBRIDGE

Tonight the Handsome Frank Emporium returns for three weeks at The Frontroom in Cambridge. 

After the success of Pick Me Up my agents will be hosting a pop up shop where a plethora of artwork from the HF illustrators will be available to purchase. The space will also provide portfolio reviews, discussions and of course those wonderfully dodgy records.

Join the private view tonight from 6:30pm where the artwork will be accompanied by the awesome burgers from Steak & Honour!

GHOSTS OF GONE BIRDS– SWANSEA

The Ghosts of Gone Birds will migrate to Swansea, Wales towards the end of this month with a pop-up print exhibition. 

It's great to see a cause such as this reach my neck of the woods and support the art scene in South Wales. If you are able to attend, please do, I am sure there will be an array of visual treats that help raise awareness of beautiful specimens which are sadly no longer with us.

GHOSTS OF GONE BIRDS– PRIVATE VIEW

I couldn't think of a better way to bring in the new year than to contribute to a project such as 'Ghosts of Gone Birds' which has the third installment of the exhibition in Brighton's ONCA Gallery this evening.

Before I closed the studio doors for 2012 I was asked to complete a never before seen piece depicting one of the species of bird that unfortunately no longer exists.

In addition to the wonderful pieces that adorned the ONCA gallery since the initial opening in November tonight will give those of you who may have been unable to make it to the show a chance to see what has been on display and much more.

Hopefully I'll see you there!

The show has brought together a number of creatives that may just have exactly what you want to give someone or yourself this Christmas at a really good price.

It looks like I will be in good company in this show and look forward to seeing everything set up. 

See you on the 12th!

ART V CANCER- EXHIBITION

.....................................................................................................................................

I have always wanted to use my artwork to help others so when I heard about the Art V Cancer exhibition I couldn't think of a better excuse to create a new piece. 

I received an email yesterday informing me that my original piece will be included in the show in addition to the small limited edition number of prints that will be sold in order to raise money.

This will be the first Art V Cancer exhibition that will open on November 2nd at 2022NQ in Manchester and will include over 35 artists both established and emerging to raise money for the cause. 

The show looks like it's going to be a great night packed with fantastic work. For updated news on the exhibition you can use one of the following links.

NEW WORK– SWAN LAKE

.....................................................................................................................................

Above is my contribution to the Pointe Blank 'Swan Lake' exhibition which is currently running at the Milkwood gallery in Cardiff.

The portrait tries to highlight the transformation that the princess of the folk tale undertakes when daylight disappears and she can return to human form.

The exhibition will run until the 8th October as a part of Cardiff Design Festival before appearing at Birmingham's Eye Candy Illustration Festival.

For more detail photographs take a look at the project on my website via the link below.

POINTE BLANK– EXHIBITION

I am lucky enough to be one of 27 wonderfully talented creatives who have created something especially for this Swan Lake themed exhibition from Pointe Blank.

Judging from the names involved it looks like the show will be an event filled with visual delights and interesting interpretations. 

The exhibition is just one of the many events happening throughout Cardiff Design Festival, if you're in the area be sure to take a look!

GHOST OF GONE BIRDS

.....................................................................................................................................

I was finally able to find the chance to catch the Ghost of Gone Birds exhibition at the Rochelle School in East London which showcases over 200 new works from a number of artists exploring the theme in a number of mediums.

The show is something that I would say is definitely worth going to see before it closes on the 23rd of November. There are some particularly clever and interesting interpretations of the lost birds with the goal to raise awareness about conservation and prevention of losing more species.
