Trophy Heads at Lee Rosy's Tea Shop

After travelling Europe for part of the summer, my 'Back To School' Project for September was a Hand-Drawn wall installation at Lee Rosy's Tea on Broad Street, Nottingham. The collection of Trophy Heads and Taxidermy was hand-drawn with ink and brush and my framed works on paper decorate the rest of the tea shop.
It took quite a while but the splendid staff plied me with free tea so I left with no complaints, if a little over-caffeinated. I recommend the Rooibos Flower Dance and the Apple Cake. Ths exhibition is still up now so if you're in the Hockley Area of Nottingham do drop in for a look and a Hot Bev.

Bangers and Fash

'Bangers and Fash' is a creative event put on by my very good friends at WE MAKE T-SHIRTS( www.wemaket-shirts.com/) and 269,
http://outoftimeoutoftouch.blogspot.com/2009/05/bangers-and-fah.html). The night showcases Graphic and Illustrative T-shirt designs, with stalls from other creative businesses based in Nottingham (like my pals at Merrimaking Hoods http://www.merrimaking.com/). I organised the Live Illustration, 6 artists of varying styles working onto painted doors. Jennie Webber/Alex Godwin (www.alexgodwin.com)/ Jen McHugh/Adam Gray and James Huyton.

Pictured is my Walrus Carcass in various states as I drank more and more Sailor Jerrys.
