For anyone attending the New York Comic Con get yourself down to the Cultyard to get a chance to buy a VERY limited figure by myself that the lovely guys at Clutter have put together.
Happy to announce my first solo exhibition for some time. I’ve recently rediscovered painting landscapes, not that they aren’t present in so many of my work but this time I’ve turned the spotlight directly on the landscape. In particular, the Cornish coastline. Silas UK were kind enough to offer me some space on the walls of their London shop after seeing some of the pieces so I’ve turned them into a show. Along with a little something I bought from a car boot sale and have ‘modified’. That’s a bit of a surprise for the night, but just a small one.
This will be the official re opening of the shop as well so really looking forward to the evening.
The show starts on the 29th September at Silas Uk and runs until the 27th October.
Really honoured to be involved in the fundraiser last night for Sea Shepherd on the HMS Belfast, painting with The Dead Sea Mob. Had a blast with the guys and was lucky to meet both Captain Paul Watson from the Steve Irwin ship and also Dave Brock from Hawkind! I recommend you take a look at the Sea Shepherd site to see the work they do protecting ocean giants from whaling fleets.
Really happy to announce that I’ve been invited by the Dead Sea Mob to paint alongside them on top of HMS Belfast moored in London. This is a fundraiser for Sea Shepherd UK and the captain himself will be aboard amongst many others….. Take a look at their site to find out the amazing work they do. It’s a tickets only night and monies going to Operation Divine Wind, defending whales in the Southern ocean.
BIG thanks to all the Crow’s Nest crew at Glastonbury for working hard, going hard, being great company and not afraid to get muddy! Roll on 2013…
Here’s a slice of the action from the weekend.
Hi all, just a quick update on my shenanigans at Glastonbury this year. Firstly I’m going to be involved in the Crow’s Nest right at the top of the hill past the Park Field (the best field!).
We’re going to have some bands play acoustic sets up there as well as playing our albums of the morning and afternoon everyday, if you have an album you love and have an ipod of something to play it off feel free to pester us and we may well play it in it’s full glory. We may ask you to say a few words about it so don’t be shy!
The bands confirmed to play acoustic sets so far are… Metronomy, Stornoway, CocknBullKid, Summer Camp, Two Wounded Birds and Guillemots.
Plus more very special guests to be announced shortly…
Also I’ll be painting a piece up at the Crow’s Nest over the duration of the festival and the plan is to auction it off for charity at the end of play. I’ll most probably be painting some other bits and bobs up there so swing by, have a herbal tea and relax with some art and music.
Here’s some info about the Crow’s Nest..
“Looking out from the top of the hill across Glastonbury, The Crow’s Nest is the newest addition to The Park, a tiny refuge on the summit with a magical spirit. After last year’s success of secret acoustic shows by Villagers, Stornoway, Frightened Rabbit, Beth Jeans Houghton, Mountain Man, Magic Numbers and many more, this year The Crow’s Nest promises another great line-up of last-minute specials, including the lunchtime album of the day, the genius of Monsterism/Seahawks Pete Fowler, the rhythms of the Soul Jazz Sound System and a Moshi Moshi seaside special (as well as a few artists from the bigger stages making the climb to the very top).
It’s a trip well worth making.”
As well as all that I’m DJing at the marvellous Stonebridge bar on sunday night 12-1am and perhaps some other spots in and around the Park field, who knows!
Here’s a pic of Stornoway playing and a view from the Crow’s Nest last year, a great spot I’m sure you’d all agree, well worth the climb up the hill. Hope to see you there!
Firstly a belated happy new year to y’all on this blue (apparently) Monday, not been blue for us happy to say.
We’ve got a DJ gig coming up at the end of Feb so check this sneak peek at the flyer for a bit more info. The Wet Play people have invited us for a 2 hr set at their next party in Feb and by all accounts it’s going to be a good one.
More info to come soon but here’s the flyer for now shipmates.
Keep it buoyant.
Next wednesday night brings and evening of festivities down at the Social Bar on Little Portland St, london W1. i’ll be DJing and selling some Seahawks records during the night and all looks set for a lovely midweek shindig.
Check the flyer below for more details and hope to see you Londoners down there.
It’s come around again…time for our bi-monthly residency at the Big Chill Bar next wednesday 13th October. Myself and The Captain will be joined by Ian Sargeant, deep disco digger and all round top fellow with a pair of stout sea legs, ready for any weather conditions the cosmic sea may wish to throw at him.
We look forward to setting Nuts on the discoid controls!
