Che Camille: Mini Show

I've just taken my Bowl of Cornflakes through to Che Camille in Glasgow for a mini sculpture show that's set to open tomorrow. As well as my piece, there will be work by Gary Bolam, Cheryl Field, and Lewis Holleran on show. Excuse my blurb:

This month sees artwork by Gary Bolam, Cheryl Field, David Galletly and Lewis Holleran. Come join us on the 1st of August 7-9pm for the launch of both the jewellery and sculpture exhibitions. A glittered deer skull, mechanical creations, stone cornflakes, video works and narrative jewellery all await you. Our new artist books section will be making it’s first appearance in the showroom also. The exhibition will run until the end of the month.

Sounds pretty good eh? Che Camille itself is an awesome boutique / workshop / creative space. It's well worth a visit. Here are the deets:

Paper City: Urban Utopias

A while ago I was asked to draw the Paper City page in Blueprint magazine. The idea being that, in each issue, a different artist, designer, architect or illustrator showcases their personal vision of a utopia. This week, Blueprint are putting together an exhibition of their Paper City archive at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, my little drawing included.

The show sounds pretty awesome. I don't have a list of names, but going by some of the Paper City pages I've seen in the past, there will be some interesting people involved. The hanging also promises to be quite unique with work reproduced in multiple copies and bound as ‘pads’ so that visitors to the show can tear off their favourite images and keep them. Here are the details:

I won't make it down to see the show personally, but if you find yourself nearby I'd recommend you take a look. I'll post some images if I come across them.

A Wooden File

Daily Drawing 4: A wooden file from Ikea

Not much to say about this one.

Self Portrait

Daily drawing 3: Self portrait (smiling)

Another daily drawing challenge. I'm working on something else so it's another quick doodle I'm afraid. This is the first picture I've drawn of myself in years.

S-S-Super-8

Daily drawing 2: Super 8 camera

A second quick doodle for my wee draw every day challenge. This Super-8 was a birthday present from my friend Fergi a few years ago. Still waiting for the perfect sunny day to use it.

Baby Steps

Daily drawing 1: Hair Man

I'm setting myself a tiny challenge. I will try to draw something new (big or small) every day this week and put it up here. Maybe not the most ambitious undertaking, but an undertaking nonetheless.

Draw Serge!

A few weeks ago, the good Mr Culprit pointed me in the direction of the brilliant Draw Serge, a blog for drawings of Serge Gainsbourg. Today, I finally got round to doodling a little version of the great man to submit. It feels like the first face I've drawn in a long while.

Coincidentally, Serge has been on my iPod a lot recently. I'm particularly fond of his mad stuff with Brigitte Bardot. If you don't know it, have a poke around on YouTube. It's dynamite.
