Shop shot

Embarrassingly, Tom at Friend & Co managed to grab a better flick of the gallery than i have done...

So i nicked his.

Its up until the end of the month and open on Saturdays. If you want to pop in sometime contact Friend and Co and they'll arrange a private viewing for you...

Acerone - Friend + Co prints now available on-line

A lil heads up for y'all...

The prints I recently made for the Friend and Co show are now up on the Friend and Co web-shop ready for your shopping cart.

Suspension Bridge Mono - £25

A black ink on white heavy weight art paper, screen print of the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Taken from the orginal artwork I produced for the 4 colour screen print version released earlier this year. Credit crunching price for anyone on a budget! Signed, numbered and stamped by myself...

The Arches photographic giclee archive print - £40

This is a super high quality giclee print on the thickest of heavyweight papers. It is the original photograph I took of the Arches (Gloucester Road, Bristol, UK) and within a stones throw of the Friend and Co Gallery.

The canvas in store was painted using this photograph as a reference, and the Arches screen-print was made from the canvas. So this particular print is the original photograph/artwork that the further images were taken from.

Notice the blue streaks that flow into the centre of the image - these were created from a Police car that had just stopped me whilst taking photographs. I was asked what i thought i was doing in the middle of the road - i asked if they could assist my photograph by banging the siren on for a bit - amazingly they were more than happy to help! The blue flashes are the result of some friendly helpful neighbourhood Police.

The Arches 4 colour screen print - £80

The screen printed version of the canvas, printed by Paul Weston of Screen One on heavyweight Lustralux black glossy paper.

All are from and edition of 50

Some canvases and other originals are also available in store. Contact Tom Friend via the Friend and Co website to arange a time to pop into the shop and take a closer look.

We have a (re)opening evening this Thursday 14th as last week we were rained off and had to disappear early to catch Malakai support the Doves down at the O2 Academy - sorry to those of you who did turn up late and missed us... Hope to see you Thursday for a beer and a chat.

Park St Print Artwork Complete

So once the nipper was settled off to sleep i managed to get the artwork for the Park Street print completed and yesterday managed to get the 4 transparencies scanned and the digitalised artwork 'photoshopped' ready for the silk screens, which should be getting made at Screen One as i type.

All being well, we should have the printing done by the end of the week, handfinishing done over the weekend and ready for sale/posting by Monday next week...

Now its time to prepare for the Friend and Co show coming up in early May - Watch this space!

Park St. Pre-order Prints - SOLD OUT!

Many thanks to those of you who have place an order with me for a pre-order print, they have now sold out.

The rest of the edition will be available through the RWA from Monday 20th April, or check here to see if i have any available direct.

;-)

Park St Screen print - Pre-order deal...

Despite having had the misfortune to return home last Friday to find my house had been burgled having taken my Mac and PC laptops, digital projector, Canon SLR and all 5 lenses, as well as video camera, Tag watch and 2 pairs of Oakleys - I aint gonna let it get me down... (much!)

Having next to no equipment left at all is just another challenge to overcome, so it is time to rise to the occasion and get on with it. It's either that or get all hot and bothered and i dont really do negitive energy...

So after a few requests from visitors to the Crimes of Passion show at the RWA, ill be releasing the next Acerone screen print in approximately 2 weeks time - Park St. This was the fourth canvas in the series i have displayed at the current exhibition, be sure to get up there and visit it if you haven;t already. A little heads up - entrance is FREE on Sat 11th April!

Like with the Clifton Suspension Bridge screen print, i will be offering 10 people the chance to make a preorder for a hand finished version of the Park St print for half price - £65 instead of £130.
