The Sugar Hill Gang

I have been meaning to post these photos of the Sugar Hill Gang from a couple of weeks ago down at the Tunnels in Bristol. We all love Rappers Delight so it was an honour for me to finally get to hear it performed live.

Big Cheers to Weapon of Choice for hosting the night.

Acerone and Andy Council at the Tobacco Factory

UPfest - Today!

Come down to the Tobacco Factory in Bedminster today to see how this collaboration between Andy Council and myself turns out...

See you there.

Paint the World

Steven Wright said "It's a small world, but i wouldn't want to paint it..."

I always liked the way that quote evokes a sense of scale that quickly becomes unimaginable.

So fair play to Dulux for giving it a go. And making it look like so much fun.

I'ld love to get involved in this...

Andy Council and Acerone Collaboration at UPfest10!

YES indeed, the rumours are true - June the 5^th will see Acerone will be painting a collaborative piece with Bristol’s finest artist and illustrator Andy Council. Expect starbursts, light trails, Bristolian visual references and, of course - dinosaurs!

During the 3^rd UPfest at the Tobacco Factory in Southville, Bristol; Andy and Acer will be painting live as part of the 200 strong group of artists, with 50 of those artists having come from all over the world to be a part of the event.

This one is not to be missed!

Throughout the weekend the Tobacco Factory will be hosting the Very Affordable Art Sale where original artwork and prints will be available at bargain prices! Profits raised from the sales will be donated to NACOA (National Association for Children of Alcoholics) building upon the £10,000 already raised by Steve and the UPfest organisers to date. Please come down and support the cause.

And as if this wasn’t enough there will be urban dance workshops, a children’s art practice area, and live music from Funk from the Trunk, Hairy Parents, Jon Kennedy and many, many more…

Oh yeah… and entry free!!!
