SweetTalk event in Belfast
Wednesday 28 May, 2008
I’m very very honoured to tell you that I’ll be making my way over to Belfast in July to take part an exhibition and presentation which is part of the big Trans 08 creative festival in Ireland!
I’ll be contributing work alongside the rest of the Xyn family and more, aswell as hitting the venue up with some Live Art for the launch of the show!
Then, once that’s done, I’ll be presenting a ‘SweetTalk’ talk / presentation of my own, inside the studio! I’m honoured to be part of this, especially sharing a line-up with the one & only Ben Drury!
The ‘Waterfront’ is the venue for both the exhibition & the sweettalk, so as you can see, it looks pretty swanky, I’m really looking forward to it!
Saturday 26th July is the day, so pop that in your diaries and keep your eyes on googonpaper.org & candycollective.com for more info!

Droplet vinyl toy launch, this Friday!
Wednesday 30 April, 2008
So my friends, this is it, the big day is nearly here... pictured below is the shipment of Droplets, which is now safe and sound at Go Go Plastic, ready for the launch on Friday!
There's been just 128 droplets produced especially for the launch night, and they're going to be the only ones available in the whole wide world for at least a month (with all the other stores around the world receiving their shipments in June)
So you'll have to come on down to the launch to get your hands on one!
I'm going to number all 128 boxes by hand, so hopefully that makes them a little extra special for the folk getting their hands on them!
That's all from me, check the info below for all the details or check out:

The show's only up for another week so check it out if you can, if not, wait and see it in Nottingham & Bristol where they'll be more new work added!

Lennon the Lefty
Friday 11 January, 2008
This is my customization of Hicalories 'Lefty' Vinyl Toy, which was launched in the UK at the Bohdi Gallery with a show to go along with it!
A big bunch of artists were kindly invited to customize one for the show and I'm very proud to say that I was one of them!
This was a combination of drilling lots and lots of indents in him, covering him in metallic red enamel paint, adding a splash of green enamel to the top and finishing him off with an acrylic face!
Big thanks to Alex and you can check out what the original Lefty looks like by going here!

CrazyLabel booth
Friday 14 September, 2007
Being part of the Crazylabel family is obviously super cool as is, but when Andy from CL asked if he could use my 'illy' graphic to use as a window display for his new studio, I was stoked!
I tweaked it abit for him, swapping a few bits for some CrazyLabel love but was super surprised and pleased to learn that he used that graphic to decorate his booth at the Taiwan Toy Festival!!!
Stoked! Thanks Andy!
