I've had to put the price of my Brixton Sane t-shirt up to £25.00 as after my last sale and Etsy's increased prices plus production I lost 25p at the £20.00 price!

As far as artwork is concerned all pieces are finished apart from varnishing and the addition of D-rings. I am currently focused on the admin side of things. Prepping my press release, some explanatory sheets for the gallery, an Eventbrite link for the Private View, Instagram posts and reels and this poster. If I have time I'd like to get an additional page for the event up on this site too.. Then it will just be a matter of getting the drinks in for the 15th and hoping somebody shows up.

I am currently frantically working towards my first solo show of paintings, to be held at Brixton Tate Library from September 14th - 25th, entitled Dante's Car Park. It will consist of the nine paintings I have/am making representing the 9 Circles of Hell supported by the 9 smaller works in my "Ugly Beautiful" series [that may get a better name before the show opens]. I hope to also include my Brixton Art Prize shortlisted "Where We Used to Live".. There will be a Private View on the evening of the 15th.

I'm Happy to say that my painting, [In The City] It's Hard To Be Alone sold at the weekend at the Townhouse Summer Open in Spitalfields

Seeing the forecast a week ahead of Urban Art Brixton I thought I'd create something equally as hot so leading up to the event I painted five layers of acrylic, from lemon yellow up to that fluorescent red at the top, framed it up and made it the centrepiece of my pitch. It certainly turned heads, all weekend, but I thought I was going to be taking it home with me. Then, almost at the end of day day 2 it was bought. For someone who has been focusing on texture and neutral tones of late it was a very bright surprise. One I'm keen to try some more of, so as soon as the Dante's Car Park series is done [I'm a third of the way through that] I will return to this, along with matt and gloss contrasts I think.
