11/07/10 the international 3

A few photos from the International 3 exhibition 'How it All Worked Out', which opened on Friday night. A group show featuring emerging artists from UCLAN (my uni), Manchester Met and Salford Uni. 
Was a good opening, very busy, and I sold three pieces on the night. That's my first proper sale, and it feels good! Always a little sad to see work I like go, but that's totally overidden by how awesome it is to have someone give them a new loving home.
I was really chuffed to be picked for this, many thanks to awesome curators Laurence and Paulette!

As soon as I sort out my life (i.e. a home and a job) I hope to make some lovely fresh new art and get posting. 

01/07/10 twigs and apples

No new work as such to post yet (apparantly in the real world you need to look for houses and jobs and the like) but a little about a group project of mine: the 'Twigs and Apples Publishing' collective!

http://twigsandapples.blogspot.com/

As an open collective, the content ranges from art, illustration, politics, film, culture, rants, sports writing, vegan recipes and more! We're always interested in contributions (and distributors).

We started last year and have two awesome issues printed; a 120 brick of a first issue (sold out, but available to flick through online at http://twigsandapples.blogspot.com/) and a slightly more sensibly-sized 60 page second issue, out now (£2.00, how very very reasonable).

In addition to the main zine 'Twigs and Apples', our collective members and contributors have plenty of ideas for side projects, so we've set up as a publishing collective to get lots of stuff out there under the Twigs & Apples name!

---------------------------------

Now; to find out how to find more followers and followees(?) so that this is more means of communication/networking and less of a diary!

Oh, & off to Manchester tomorrow to hand in work for a show at International 3 Gallery :) ('How it All Worked Out' 10th Jul - 30th Jul). awesome!
