Drawgasmic!

Here's my submission for Drawgasmic, a great project taking place in America which invites artists from all over the world to send in a piece of work in their specified format which will form part of an exhibition and book later this year.

I chose to draw a London cinema as I love the ornate buildings that are dotted across the capital, though most are now re-purposed as churches, gig venues or bingo halls. The Ritzy in Brixton is still going strong and looking fabulous! See my image online here and take a look at their map showing where all the submissions have come from around the globe!

The exhibition is set to take place on 10 July at 2720 / Art Dimensions Gallery, 2720 Cherokee Street, St. Louis, MO 63118.

Crystal Palace Antiques & Modern

I recently visited this wonderful antiques warehouse which is set over four floors. So much to see, great for inspiration and of course a chance to find a little something to add to your home.











The basement is full of 20th century pieces supplied by Design of Modernity where I discovered I have a love for '60s Danish design, all a bit out of my price range sadly! I highly recommend a visit, and Crystal Palace is really easy to get to now that it's part of the London Underground network.

Crystal Palace Antiques, Jasper Road, London, SE19 1SJ. Open 7 days 10am–6pm (Sundays 10am–5pm).

Brockley Max - Tea Leaf Arts

The Brockley Max arts festival is currently on in south east London showcasing a wide variety of artists and media. The area near where I live - Brockley, Crofton Park and Ladywell - has a really creative community and this annual event is organised to get everyone involved and excited about the arts.

I have a piece of work showing at Tea Leaf Arts, an artist-led exhibition space on Endwell Road. The exhibition is on until 12 June so pop in and have a look if you're in the area. For further information visit www.tea-leaf-arts.com and to find out what's going on during the festival visit www.brockleymax.co.uk.
