Framed up two prints today, thought it was about time! Nipped to my local Habitat, didn't even realise I had a local Habitat until the other day. First one up for the treatment was this....
LV Child by Beejoir, from the unsigned charity run of 400.
And my very first print... Wotulookin-At by Eelus.
Now I've just got to decide where to hang them.
The plan was also to frame the Faile refund print, but I cut the mount too big and it kept falling through the hole! I'd had enough by that point, so back to Hobbycraft tomorrow for another mount and another go!

Latest arrival - Miss Bugs
This is my latest arrival:
'Wonderful Angel of Death' by Miss Bugs from an edition of 30. This is the second print she's released I think, but having a look at the website, there's some good stuff on the way. The strange blobs that look like jellyfish aren't visible unless you look really closely, it's just that the flash on my phone picked them up.
Each one is hand touched up with bits and bobs found on the street. This is number 2 of 30, so a nice low, low number. But what's best is that it's Wonder Woman (she's a wonder) and one of my earliest crushes, fantastic!!

Shepard Fairey / Obey Show
Went to the Shepard Fairey show at Stolen Space with Ace today. Bit of a struggle to find the flippin' thing, but it was worth the hunting. Some of the pieces were mind blowing, enormous and very beautiful. Even Ace was moved to express some sort of passion about the work, therefore it's very, very good indeed!
This one was my favourite (If anyone wants to donate 30k to me?).
Do yourself a favour and go and have a look. It's in the old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane until 25th November.

Xenz Show
Had a great night last night. Jelly Antler was gracious enough to invite me to the Xenz preview show at the Forster Gallery. Xenz, what an artist, he's not a typical graffiti scrawler that's for sure, he travels his own path and creates some lovely stuff on the way. After a few free beers, the plunge was taken and one of the prints released for the show was purchased. It's lovely, we both fell for it as soon as we saw it, it had to be bought, so it was, it's huge too. The colours are so nice. Framing should be interesting.
One of the pieces at the show, couldn't fit it all in, it was in a corridor and I couldn't step back far enough!!
Carrying the print home was troublesome though, a couple of heavy, cumbersome flat packed (in MDF) big prints. Through the east end and the underground we went, then train to Reading, but we made it.
