New Prints @ the Affordable Art Fair

Graham — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:22:52 +0000

I have a few new hybrid prints available at the forthcoming Affordable Art Fair at Battersea, London (We’ll be there as Boxbird Gallery from March 11th – 14th. Come say hello).

Wandering Marionnette is based on an amazing puppetry effort by the Royal De Luxe theatre company which blew me away. Early Bird is a secret diner located high in the tree-tops. It’s location is known only to the mini-pilots of the mechanical birds and it’s muffins are to die for.

‘Early Bird’ – Giclee/Silkscreen hybrid print. 80cm x 41cm. Edition of 80

‘Wandering Marionnette’ – Giclee/Silkscreen Hybrid Print. 58cm x 41cm. Edition of 40

I Love You….!

Graham — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 10:57:10 +0000

…honestly i do. It’s the last week of the valentine themed ‘I Love You’ Exhibition at the Hop Gallery, Lewes. All proceeds go to a worthy cause (Children’s Heart Charities) and the artist line up is impressive to boot, including the likes of Sanna Annukka, Jonny Hannah and Rob Ryan! (i’ll be making an appearance too).

On until Feb 14th.

New work ahoy!

here are some new prints hot off the press from a marathon couple of weekends screenprinting

with a little help from my assistant, the lovely Alice…..! More details at Boxbird.

January Studio Sale @ Ink-d

Graham — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:50:57 +0000

Ink-d Gallery have asked various artists (myself included) to provide them with ‘clear out’ items that have been lingering around the studio for a while. You might find yourself a bargain there. I’ve given them some first editions and originals, as well as some of my favourite pieces from a few years ago that i forgot i even had! (20 % off too)

March of the Leaf Kicker

Graham — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:41:20 +0000

Hot off the presses – my new print ‘Lady Leaf Kicker’. When they’re not collecting berries from the trees there’s nothing more they like than to ‘HOOF’ up carefully raked leaf piles by the roadside…….

Available to purchase though boxbird.co.uk

New T-Shirt Design

Graham — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:07:48 +0000

(which i have a feeling i’m going to get into…). Runs from 14th Nov – 14th Dec.

Brighton Art Fair

Graham — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:36:59 +0000

My London show East Meets West is at our gallery Boxbird in Brighton for 1 week ONLY! From 23rd – 29th Sept. But if you don’t get a chance to see it then you can see a lot of the work at Brighton Art Fair from 1st - 4th Oct

‘Made-in-Brighton’ @ Ink-d Gallery

Graham — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:22:10 +0000

I am currently taking part in a group show entitled ‘Made in Brighton‘ along with a bunch of illustrious local artists who have also had solo shows at Ink-d Gallery in the last few years…..

One image per artist – no bigger than 30cm x 30cm, an edition of 25 and all £75.

My piece , Bobby Play (silkscreen on japanese plywood) is based on 2 little gay (or just good friends) policemen characters. I had planned to use these little guys years ago but then that pesky Banksy character came up with a similar idea…..

‘East Meets West’ has opened…..

Graham — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:52:31 +0000

A big thank you to everyone who came to the private view.

The show is open until 12th Sept if you wanna come along and say hi.

Work is available online through boxbird.co.uk

Decked Project

Graham — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 08:07:25 +0000

I will be taking part in the Decked Project from 25th – 30th August at the Stolen Space Gallery, Brick Lane, London.

A collection of 50 street artists/illustrators/designers/tattooists each designing their own skate deck, and here is my end result………As you can see, my cat found it quite hypnotic watching me work on it! Even tried to grab the brushes a few times – another budding artist in the family?? (No. Because it’s a cat – they can’t draw)

Shaaa-wing badder………!!

Graham — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 07:53:05 +0000

A homage to men in pyjamas with big bats and silly names. Available as a set of 4, silkscreen on japanese ply – at Coningsby gallery show 1st – 12th Sept…..

Zilla Inc. coming to a town near you…….

Graham — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:32:41 +0000

They may be tokyo based, but the Zilla Inc. like to wander - and cause chaos in their wake. If you see a glowing beacon looming over the horizon it’s probably best to get yourself in to some kind of underground bunker. The only respite is when they pause briefly for the nightshift workers to take over……. (See the full image at EAST MEETS WEST, solo exhibition at coningsby gallery London from Sept 1st to 12th)

Sneak Peak

Graham — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:05:44 +0000

Shhhhhhh…….Here is a sneak peak of new work for my forthcoming show. They’re only details so you’ll have to come and see them in the flesh to get the full effect

and so it begins…….

Graham — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:35:53 +0000

You probably won’t be hearing many peeps from me in next few weeks as i am locked in my workshop beavering away for my next upcoming show at Coningsby Gallery. I have a few mechanical helpers but they are fairly old models and need constant maintenance themselves……… Watch this space for sneak peeks of the new stuff.

New Images

Graham — Fri, 29 May 2009 13:46:49 +0000

The myths about giant creatures, disguised as man-made or natural objects, roaming the lands – have turned out to be true!

Boots screwed up my camera film with the evidence – but luckily i have been able to create an ‘artist’s impression’…….

These prints will soon be available at Art Republic, Brighton.

Award Winning Show!

Graham — Tue, 26 May 2009 15:18:25 +0000

We just heard today that our Cinemascope show for the Brighton Fringe Festival has just won ’Best Show of the Fringe’!! Needless to say we are delighted (and we must say a monster-sized ‘thank you’ to everyone who voted for us – and of course to the artists who took part in the exhibition. Already thinking about next years theme……

New Site Coming

Graham — Sun, 24 May 2009 09:06:27 +0000
