Bristol Comic Expo

Big thanks to everyone who came over and said hello at the Expo. Me, Jeremiah and Bertram all had a great time!

Bristol Comic Expo

Spabbyland is sharing a likkle table at the Bristol Comic Expo with Bertram Fiddle tomorrow. Got my first ever mini-comic, The Meanderings of Jeremiah Wellgood, and some new posters, prints and tees all ready. It's my first time so be gentle with me!

Deep into the Woods

Last sunday was the opening night of the Deep into the Woods exhibition I'm in. And it was bonkers! I might have munched a few too many twiglets, but big thanks to everyone who came down and all the other arty-fartypants illustrators. It's on for another 2 weeks if you are in or around Bristol.

Exhibitionzzz

Heck YEAHHHHH! In just over a month Deep into the Woods is going to open at the Start the Bus Gallery in Bristol. Have you seen who is in it??? Jon Boam, Stu Kolakovic, Dave Bain, Amy Brown, Matthew the Horse, Rosie Miles, Paul Roberts, Log Roper and Henry St Leger!!! All of them are the best thing since sliced bread... and the goons are letting ME exhibit with them! What are they thinking?!

It's going to be a belter! If any of you are in Bristol while its on get down there and have a look and if you can make it to the opening night even better. There will be a chance to meet, drink, party and possibly rub the artists... and you may even see a fully grown horse doing some body-popping.

Out on the town with a Lovestallion

Yes. Jaques Dreamboat, world's premier lovestud/male model/actor was unveiled at the Inkygoodness show. I noticed he went down particularly well with the ladies. Great night, great people, shit camera.


Blurry photos of some of the stuff on the walls including Toy Factory, Steph says hello, Muxxi and Darren John.




The Anty-Climax print is now available in my shop for £35. It's a limited edition Giclee on proper nice Somerset 255g paper. Ooooh, go on and touch it!

Inkygoodness V Dreamboat Records Exhibition

This friday, 10th December, is the opening of the latest Inkygoodness show. Its going to be a good 'un.
The World's Premiere Lovestud and Action/Adventure movie star can't wait! In a private interview he told me "Eet may be cold outside, but I promizz inside the temperature will be 'ot, 'ot, 'ot."

Dreamboat Exhibition YEAHHHH!

Friday 10th December is the opening night for the latest Inkygoodness show. They've teamed up with Dreamboat records for a weekend of music and ART at Start the Bus in Bristol. I'm taking part in the exhibition with a load of RAD illustrators in the upstairs gallery (entrance is round the side near to Tesco's)
As usual, I've not quite got everything finished yet, but there will be some new prints available and some paintings of a very special duderino... the World's foremost Lovestallion himself...

Inkygoodness Update 2

Dave Bain has made a video of the opening night of the Exhibition. See if you can count how many zooms there are?

Inkygoodness Update

The Inkygoodness show on Brick lane has been well good so far. It had over a BILLION people turn up for the thursday night opening and is continuing to draw in loads of people, most of whom seem to like it. Woo-hoo. It carries on until 6pm this Sunday (12th sept). Some of me favourite bits were McBess's's's wall tattoo, the colourbox installation and having a hugsy with Stephen Chan, but everything was wicked! Get yerself down there.
Here are my 2 pieces in all their pointless glory!

Inkygoodness Exhibition

Inkygoodness 4 "PLAY" opens this Friday at the East Gallery, 216 Brick Lane, London. It's in Shoreditch this time so that means I'm going to have to get EVEN tighter trousers.

Decked Project private view

Went down to London Town for the private view of the Decked Project at the Coningsby Gallery. All the decks looked great and it was nice meeting some of the other artists including Cami Dobrin, Docvek, Cristina Guitian and about 50 odd more. I just wish I had worn tighter trousers. The exhibition carries on until 28th August.

You can see all the boards HERE

Plush You

Atsuko has been busy beavering away making toys for the Plush You show in Los Angeles, which starts on August 26th at MUNKY KING. Harold's older brother Henry has packed his bags and has jetted off with a couple of friends to participate. We'll post more photos after the show. Oh, and if anyone is in LA (Dave, Monika....) can you keep an eye out for them as Henry has a knack of getting into trouble.

Decked 2

Here is my submission for the next Decked Exhibition in London. Opens on 15th August at the Coningsby Gallery. There's going to be over 50 decks painted and drawn on by painters and drawerers of the highest quality. And me.
As you can see, poor old Harold T. Littlecock is understandably nervous about all those rough Londoners coming to look at him. Why don't you pop down and make him feel better?

SouthBank Bristol Arts Trail

I've just had another chilled weekend painting while the wife and child were out enjoying the sunshine... I'm doing all these to exhibit in the SouthBank Arts Trail where local artists open up their houses for people to snoop around and (hopefully) buy stuff.
Dunno if anyone is going to want my tat, but I'll have original paintings, drawings and screenprints for sale. And maybe some of Atsuko's cake.

Exhibition Photos

At last I've been able to upload my photos from Japan onto the computer... and aren't they boring? I really should have taken photos when people were in there looking at my pictures. But it was a pretty small room and there wasn't enough space for visitors, me AND a camera.

its good to squawk

...still not fixed me effing camera. Here are some more scans of some stuff from the show all going left to right again. Dammit!

Tadaimaaaa

phew! I'm now back in rainy old England. The exhibition was a success. I managed to sell about half of my paintings and all of me postcards and met some really cool people at the gallery too. I can definitely recommend having a look round if you are ever in Tokyokiyoland. A BIG THANKS to all the staff, especially Nigel... a little slice of England in Japan.
Here are a few more scans of some of the paintings. Me camera is playing up so I can't upload any photos of the exhibition yet... but will do soon(ish)

15 days to go!

Here is a little taster of some of the paintings and stuff that I've been doing for the exhibition. There's loads more, but I'm not going to post them till after the show. I've actually surprised myself with how many I've done....All are acrylic and posca pens on either canvas or cardboard.
See you in Tokyo!
