POPCORNY CHAINSAW MASACRE. -Call "Claims Claims Claims". Now.

Bam finally gets revenge after years of Piff's passive slander. A2 sized screen print for Boxbird Gallery's CinemaScope Exhibition. This was based on the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' but given a subtle Popcorny insurance claim advert twist.

The Assembly Room Art & Design Market 2011 was an amazing bustling arty success! Two days of selling my Popcorny screen prints and meeting great people in this beautiful building right in the heart of Brighton. Fellow artists and designers included Lark Rising, Sally Elford, LMNOP, Emily the Pemily and Liz Lake. Big thanks to Ridley and Dowse for organising!

Chocolate and Screen Prints! what more could you want?

This Saturday (16th April) head to New Road in the centre of Brighton where the Chocolate Festival takes over! "...Taste your way through sweet and savoury dishes and cocktails..." And that's not all... the Makers Boutique will also be on New Road in the stunning Unitarian Church where I'll be setting up my Popcorny shop. As I'm soon to be leaving Brighton for a while, I'll be selling off my "Brighton Jolly" A2 sized print for only £25 (normally £55) as a special offer!! It's all happening in one place this Saturday- See you there!? BN1 1UF

Hair pulling, fish and chips, a few dubious looking cocktails... all just part of this fun-filled jolly down to Brighton, featuring Piff & Bam, a seagull, a shark and of course the Loch Ness monster (!) 60cm X 42cm.

Picture This: postcards competition

I was delighted to have been shortlisted and "highly commended" in the 'Picture This: Postcards and letters beyond text competition' organised by Katie Reid. The exhibition took place at the University of Sussex and featured over 80 entrants. (Mine is the orange evacuation/emergency plane crash pastiche at the top...)

Two New prints for the "Bossy Series"...

mmm yummy colours...

Just planning the colours for a couple of new small prints as part of the "Bossy Series"....

Vinyl project...

I've been screen printing onto old records for the Spraygraphic Vinyl Record Show in Arizona. There was no particular theme, so I decided to go for a view from space of the (over) friendly planet Popcorny transmitting many hellos and kisses out to the aliens.
(nb. No good albums were hurt in this process ...strictly bad taste only!)
(extra by-line: Of course I didn't have any records of bad taste, I bought them from a charity shop)

"Sending Kisses to the Nice Aliens" Gold screen print onto Vinyl. Special very limited edition...

a couple of photos (of part) of the process ----

painting all the middles of the records black

I used a circle cut out of cardboard to keep the records in place while screen printing

it worked!

Arty Directory 2011

Book Covers: A crafty use for wonky prints...

I couldn't find a diary I liked this year so decided to make one by cutting up some screen prints that had gone badly wrong in the printing process that I couldn't bring myself to throw away.... Collage!! 

"Popcorny Wall Debacle" - my first attempt at animation

Needs quite a bit of tweeking but I thought I'd put it up anyway. (It's actually not as blurry as this still suggests!)
