Our Party Invitations

Last Saturday we threw a party to celebrate our engagement. Now that the date has past, I can post the invitations I made without the (very slim) risk of gatecrashers eating our sausage rolls. Time was tight, but as the first piece of graphics work I've done in a while I think they turned out pretty good. We sent them off to Moo.com for printing:

It was the first time I'd used Moo and, man, they're pretty good. I've no complaints whatsoever. The quality of the printing and materials is fly and their small batches were just what we were looking for.

As for the party, the night went brilliantly. It flew by in a flash but we both had a blast. From Alex and myself, thanks to all our friends and family for coming along and for bombarding us with amazing presents. Thanks especially to Fiona & Ian and Mary & Malcolm (our folks) for all their help.

Recession Session at Recoat

The now traditional Christmas bargain bonanza at Recoat opens this week. Recession Session features a heap of work from a dynamite list of artists at extremely reasonable prices.

The twist this year is that instead of the £40 and under pricing system of previous shows, Recession Session will be divide the gallery into price zones of £25 / £50 / £75 / £100. This should mean that there will be a much broader selection of work up for grabs, from stocking filling prints to original pieces. I've put in a few drawings at a special festive price myself.

The opening party is always packed and work tends to sell fast, so if you're really looking to buy some artwork this Christmas, I'd recommend you make it along on Friday 20th November from 7-10pm for maximum choice. The show will then run until the 23rd of December. Here are the full details:

Creature Double Feature

If you happen to be on the streets of Philadelphia first-Fridaying tomorrow night, please make a stop at Brave New Worlds to catch Creature Double Feature, a show curated by my friend Concetta.

A bunch of artists (myself included) have been asked to give their interpretation of the word 'creature' for the show. The results are being nailed to the wall as I type, and as far as I can imagine, look awesome. If you can make it along, I'd strongly recommend it because I've heard there are some amazing artists involved.

The show will run through November with the opening party on Friday 6th November from 6-9pm at Brave New Worlds, 45 N. 2nd Street.
