'HORRIPILATION' EXHIBITION IN LEEDS

I WAS RECENTLY APPROACHED TO EXHIBIT A SELECTION OF MY WORK WITH MPI AGENCY @ OUTLAWS YACHT CLUB IN LEEDS. 

WITH TOTAL FREE REIGN REGARDING THE THEME OF THE EXHIBITION I DECIDED TO SELECT WORK BASED ON PIECES INSPIRED BY MY LOVE OF B-MOVIES, VINTAGE HORROR, AND KITSCH, HENCE THE 'HORRIPILATION' EXHIBITION CAME TOGETHER.

THOUGH THE EXHIBITION IS NOW OVER MPI DID A STELLAR JOB IN PROMOTING MY WORK AND THE OUTLAWS YACHT CLUB IS A FANTASTIC SPACE (THE VENUE ALSO SCREENED THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF 'THE BLOB' IN KEEPING WITH MY THEME!).

PRINTS FROM THE EXHIBITION ARE STILL AVAILABLE TO BUY FROM MY ETSY SHOP.

NEW SELF PROMO

EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS COMING UP WITH MY ILLUSTRATION WORK SOON  - BEING SKINT ALL SUMMER HAS BEEN TIRESOME BUT ALL THE TIME TO MYSELF HAS BEEN GREAT FOR WORKING ON AND ENJOYING CREATING NEW STUFF.  

HERE'S A SNEAK PEAK OF A NEW SELF PROMO IMAGE I CAME UP WITH LAST NIGHT WHICH I MIGHT USE AS PART OF THE IMPENDING REVAMP OF MY WEBSITE... I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SIMPLE AND THIS CAME TOGETHER QUITE QUICKLY - IT'S ANOTHER SELF PORTRAIT FEATURING A SHOUTING RAVEN (IN REFERENCE TO MY TATTOO). I FIND IT REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE THE WAY THAT MY INFLUENCES (1950S HORROR COMICS, 1960S BOOK COVER DESIGN, 1970S HORROR MOVIES, GENERAL TRASH ETC...) COME OUT IN MY WORK RECENTLY WITHOUT ME REALLY PLANNING OR THINKING ABOUT IT, REASSURES ME SLIGHTLY THAT ALL THOSE HOURS I SPEND LYING AROUND  READING COMICS AND WATCHING FILMS ISN'T A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! HAHA
