Running Amok

I've just read on the Analogue blog that the Running Amok zine I made for them at the end of last year is included in a show in Norwich called D.I.Y. Issues 1 - 20 are on display until 22nd March at the Norwich Arts Centre. Mine is number 14. If you can make it along, have a look because it sounds quite good. If not, here are about half of my pages:

Analogue have been producing the zines for a while now. You can have a look at who's done what on the Running Amok page. Some are really amazing. Each artist is given free reign and 100 issues are printed. My issue, I'm happy to say, is sold out.

November News

TAKE TO THE WOODS AT ANALOGUE
I'm part of a group show at Analogue in Edinburgh called Take To The Woods. It's full of work from folk who have done stuff for Analogue over the years and should be fantastic. The exhibition runs from 16th November - 15th December, with a preview party on Thursday 14th at 7pm. Come along if you can. Everything is under £100 so there'll probably be some Christmas bargains to be had. There'll also be a wee zine to accompany the show.

This is the list of folk showing. Very pleased to be amongst them:
Acorn, Alexa Cameron, Chris Bourke, Claire Scully, David Galletly, Dist, Elph, French, Holly Wales, Iain Bruce, Jo Waterhouse, Jon Burgerman, Magda Boreysza, Marcus Oakley, Marcus Walters, Matt Pattinson, Matt Sewell, Natalie Russell, Neasden Control Centre, Nigel Peake, Robert Hanson, RueFive, Samuel Sparrow, Simon Peplow, Simone Lia, Stuart White, Supermundane, Suzi Q, Tommy Perman & Will Barras.

I'm familiar with the work of most of this lot, and I've no doubt the ones I don't know are also plastic fantastic. Particularly pleased that I'll be able to say I've been in a show with Simone Lia since I've been a massive fan of her work for ages. Have a look at it HERE.

TENTERHOOKS COMES TO AN END
My solo show, Tenterhooks, at Analogue finishes up on the 10th of November. If you can squeeze in a trip along before then, please do. I'll post properly about it once it's all down and stuff, but right now I can say I'm very pleased with how it went. Here's another wee image from the show:


The Analogue flickr page about my show has also been updated with some other photos.
------------------------

ODDS & ENDS
I'll hopefully get round to tidying up this site a little and getting some more recent images up in the artwork section because it's starting to get a little tired looking.

I'm also working on stuff for a few people, as well as some little personal projects, when this stuff passes it's jinx point* I'll get it up here. I've a few ideas for some more in-depth posts. Doodles, sketches and photos will no doubt fly around as well.

*Jinx Point: The moment a proposed project is suitably set in stone that it can be talked about without the risk of looking a fool when it falls through.

Tenterhooks - Open For Business!

My solo show, Tenterhooks, opened at Analogue in Edinburgh last week. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The image above is called "Bear Hands" and is in there. I'll not be posting too many images from the show until it comes down to encourage folks to go along. So if you can make it to Edinburgh, you've got until the 10th of November to see what I've been up to. Gonna say a wee thanks to Russell and Julie for helping me set it up, anyone who came along and to anyone who has bought something. Here's a picture of me fannying about:

The opening night was a good laugh. People I spoke to seemed to like the show, which was really nice to hear. When we left Analogue, a bunch of us went out and unintentionally caught a band called Trash Fashion, who were ridiculous. I can't tell if they were clever or stupid but they were like something from Nathan Barly, fun to slag off, and rubbish.

I've been having a few lazy days since finishing everything, so I've a little mountain (a mountette) of emails and myspace messages to catch up on. Over the next few days I will sit at the computer, eat biscuits, and do all that stuff. Also, to everyone who requested some postcards - I must apologise for the delay. I can blame the UK postal strike a little bit, but really I was completely snowed under and decided to leave them be for a little bit. I will get them sent out as soon as I can. The offer still stands to anyone else for the length of the show.

I'm in this month's Blueprint magazine. The Paper City page at the back. It's the November issue, number 260.

OCTOBER NEWS - TENTERHOOKS!

TENTERHOOKS - THURSDAY 11th
Getting near the end now. Still lots to do. This is a call to friends and strangers to come to the preview party on Thursday 11th October. That's a week today. Thursday night. Next Thursday. Thursday 11th. Thursday coming. Get off work. Get off your bot. Thursday. Analogue. Edinburgh. 7-9pm. Cheers.

The show will feature around 50 drawings, A Running Amok magazine by me and possibly some prints of the poster above.

POSTCARDS
Wow. I've had a great response to my offer of postcards. It's nice to know folk are reading this, even if they're just after a bit of free tat. Haha. I'll get them sent out as soon as I can but thanks to the pending postal strike, they could take a wee while. Offer still stands all month. They should be fairly spread between Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh now. Analogue, The Changing Room and Nicky-Tams are good places to find them. Cheers!

BLUEPRINT MAGAZINE
Also, I'm guessing Blueprint magazine must be out soon. I've illustrated the Paper City page, so get your paws on that. It's the November issue, number 260.

Postcards

I got my delivery of postcards the other day to promote my show. If you would like a couple, I'll send you them for free! I'll try to doodle something on the back as well. Send your address to davidgalletly@gmail.com and I'll pop them in the post. If you don't want a creep like me knowing where you live (smart move), you'll probably find them in bars / shops in Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Nicky-Tams especially has hundreds. They're on their way to The Changing Room and Analogue today as well. I've stamped the back of a fair whack of them with details of the Tenterhooks show.
This is the wee stamp I got made from Blade Rubber Stamps. They do a good service. Century 23 for the printing too:
