Hello people of the internet!

Amongst the slew of illustration and poster mania that was January, I also found time to finish off a few pieces of fine art work, all quite different in their execution but all with a similar tone. There will be more new work coming soon but for now have a peek and see what you can see see see:

'Gerharder' - pencil crayon on graph paper

'Deep Blue (Purple)' - paddling pool, mister, branch, paint, tinsel, wire and wishbone

Here's a short video of Deep Blue (Purple) working here:

'Dear John' - Book page & frame

'Rushed' - pipe cleaners, oasis and mirrored card

Ok, that's all for now

Hey hey!

With the recent slew of illustration based blog posts i have been putting up here, I thought I should probably post up some new pieces and info from the world of my fine art work. Well this is that very post. Here we go.

First up my piece Gigantor (above) will be part of the Matt Roberts Arts Salon show that opens Thursday 6th Oct. Come and cast a critical eye over my artistic wares from 18.00. Here's the blurb:

'Following 1650 applications to the Salon Art Prize 2011, the selection panel have chosen a total of 69 exhibitors, working in painting, sculpture, 2-D media and installation. The exhibition will take place at our gallery space, Matt Roberts Arts, 25 Vyner Street, E2 9DG, from 7th - 29th October, 2011, Friday to Sunday (12.00 - 18.00)'

For info on other exhibitors etc see http://www.salonartprize.com/

I also have a few new pieces that are ready to be seen by peoples eyes. Look at them now:

Finally the studio co-op I am part of, T.H.I.S in Tottenham, North London is having an exhibition, open studio and publication launch to announce that it has managed to go a whole twelve months without closing down and has thus deemed it appropriate to celebrate this fact together with the centenary of our building. The show is called '100 Years' and there is a Facebook event thingy here. Hope to see you there.

Bye for now. Luke

 

Hello my virtual friends,

I trust all is well in cyber-firma. Things in the real world have been busy and jam packed of late and there should be a few new updates with new prints, exhibitions, jaunts and sundries coming soon but for now i thought i would share a few new pieces from the studio. 

Above is a selection of definitely finished and potentially finished new work that has survived the ever stringent culling, re-working and reshuffling that is my working process. A few of these pieces should hopefully be cropping up in upcoming shows over the next few months so i will post about those as and when they take shape, but for now goodbye and goodlooks

best, Luke

Where did January go? I remember it threatening to rear its ugly grey head but then it was gone, leaving its even more depressing and slovenly sibling February behind to keep us company. But I will not let February beat me for many riches lie ahead.

First I am very pleased to say I will be off to Austin, TX for SXSW again this year, thanks to the generous support of UKTI and help from the ever-wonderful folks at British Underground. I'll be taking over a bunch of other UK poster types but more about that next week, including information about the rather splendid magazine we will be giving away out there called Flood.

Second, I've just about been managing to find the time to make some new work. So here for your eyes are a few new pieces from the studio, some of which will hopefully make it into some shows in the near future. Enjoy...or don't...up to you really:
