I've been entering some works to various Open Call type things. The Marshwood Awards, ING Discerning Eye and The London Group so far. So, let's see how that goes! I've had to create a spreadsheet to keep track of what is allocated where.
Three of my new Non-Places paintings have joined three of my Dante's Car Park paintings for Marshwood. Shanghai from my BoxArts paintings earlier in the year and Bordering on Minimal are submitted to ING Discerning Eye and one of my remaining Ugly Beautiful series is joined by a new work, Post Industrial Malaise, and my 3D, Brixton Art Prize shortlisted piece, Where We Used To Live will all be under consideration for the London Group show, which will be at Peckham's Copeland Park.. Before all those happen though I just need to find out where my work will be at The Streatham Arts Festival, to see how many I can get on display there.

I've been busy making some new work, since the successful show at Woodfield Pavilion ended. Some of which I hope to be showing as part of the Streatham Festival, where I think I will be in four different locations, mid October. There is a series emerging, which are larger versions of the piece I had rejected by the RA for this years Summer Exhibition. I'm not sure whether to hold them back until I have done a few more and exhibit them all together or just put them up on here for sale now. I'm going to write a bit more about them and post it later by which time I might have made my mind up. The other two are stand alone works.
Adding stuff to Saatchi Art is a bit of a chore and the addition of their 40% and the shipping and handling costs bloats the prices considerably if I am to get the same amount of money as I would selling them through this site, but I believe I will reach more people that way. I can always be contacted to discuss sales and shipping independently or to make an appointment to come and view the works at my home studio in SW2, or even to set up pay in instalments options..
I've created a sale page for the remaining [well, most of them] works from the "You Can't Take It With You" show at Woodfield Pavilion. As it says on the page, you can come and view all the works on my home studio walls in SW2. I can deliver, free of charge, anywhere in Greater London and I can offer pay in instalments thanks to GoCardless. So, what's stopping you?
It had been a quiet year up until the last week of June, with only two sales in the first six months of the year but as you can see from this mock up, the past month has been much better. That was a very successful show; seven paintings as well as prints and cards sold. I'm now making a few tweaks to the website and my Instagram profile while debating whether to resurrect my neglected Saatchi Arts account. All until the end of August that is, when I will be at the Mall Galleries for the Through The Looking Glass group show, closely followed by the Anna Lovely Gallery Summer Open.
Still got people viewing the flat so I can't get the studio in too much of a mess and I still have some older pieces I want to sell before I make any more pieces so I feel a sale coming on. Sign up to my newsletter [see home page] to be the first to hear. |
