LAST POST ON THIS YEAR'S SKETCH-O-MATIC!

JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT A WHOPPING 975 PEOPLE TURNED UP TO HAVE THEIR PORTRAIT DONE FOR YEAR 2 OF 'SKETCH-O-MATIC' AT THE CORNERHOUSE, SURPASSING LAST YEAR'S FIGURE OF 954! I LOVE THE LEVEL OF ENTHUSIASM AND PARTICIPATION THAT THIS INNOVATIVE, INCLUSIVE EVENT HAS GENERATED. JAMIE ALUN PRICE HAS PUT UP SOME PHOTOS OF SKETCH-O-MATIC SITTERS AND THEIR PORTRAITS HERE. BELOW IS ANOTHER PORTRAIT I DID OF A COUPLE, THE LADY HAD SUPER CUTE DIMPLES! CAN'T WAIT TO DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

JUST BACK FROM MY INTERVIEW ON THE ALL FM 'ANYTHING GOES BREAKFAST SHOW', WAS SO MUCH FUN! LOVED GETTING TO TALK ABOUT 

SKETCH-O-MATIC, MY WORK AND PLAYING ELECTRIC WIZARD ON THE RADIO BEFORE 10AM! THANKS AGAIN TO FIONA FOR HAVING ME XXX

SKETCH-O-MATIC

I'M BOTH EXCITED AND NERVOUS TO ANNOUNCE THAT I'LL BE TAKING PART IN THIS YEAR'S 'SKETCH-O-MATIC' EVENT AT THE MANCHESTER CORNERHOUSE GALLERIES! A FANTASTIC LIVE DRAWING EVENT, WHICH INVITES THE PUBLIC TO ENTER THE SKETCH-O-MATIC BOOTH, IN WHICH SITS CONCEALED AN ARTIST AND MINI ARTIST'S STUDIO. ONCE INSIDE, THE SITTER CAN HAVE THEIR PORTRAIT DONE BY AN ANONYMOUS ARTIST (FOR A SMALL DONATION OF £1) AND 5 MINS LATER THE DRAWING POPS OUT OF THE BOOTH SLOT, MUCH LIKE A MINI PHOTOBOOTH.

OUT OF RESPECT FOR HALLOWEEN, I'VE DESIGNED AN EC HORROR COMICS-STYLE 'FRAME' FOR THE LIVE PORTRAITS THAT I'LL BE DOING DURING MY SLOT IN THE BOOTH ON FRIDAY (6-7PM), SO MY SITTERS WILL COME AWAY WITH A PORTRAIT SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

OBVIOUSLY THE LIVE PORTRAITS WILL BE LESS POLISHED, THEREFORE MORE INTERESTING, I'LL TRY TO REMEMBER TO TAKE PHOTO'S OF THE RESULTS!
