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!

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!

25/06/10 BA (Hons)

Got my degree results (first class) and an offer to show my work in a Manchester gallery (International 3) in the space of two days. Good times! Here's some pictures of said work:






(untitled degree show piece, 70 cards, mixed media, on themes of Absurdist philosophy, existential consciousness and anti-theism)


Unfortunately, 5 pieces were stolen during the degree show, so I'll have to remake them. Can't get my head around someone being so disrespectful, but I guess if anything its weirdly flattering. After all, I wanted them to be tactile and desirable..


Hopefully going to build a proper website and figure out this blogging deal (would help to get some followers? ha) within the next couple of weeks. Time to be a real 'person'...or a real 'artist' at least!
