Last day of my own @colossivepress “takeover”. Here’s the cover image, a variation on a detail from the main foldout image. Thanks again to everyone who has dropped a line this week to say they’ve ordered some #colossivecartographies! See below for links, including links to some of the other artists in this great series. A few years back, @tommurphypics was simply an Instagram account that I stumbled upon and then followed because the photos were striking to me. Then I found and loved the world of #penge and #cosmochancer as shared by @janegibbensmurphy - without realizing there was any connection between the two or #croydonspaceport. But then it started to come together and now I’ve had this opportunity to contribute. Really the best of “social” media. ************************************ Posted @withregram • @colossivepress We're proud to finish Series Six of #ColossiveCartographies with You Will Find The Way, a truly spectacular bit of work by @blaisemoritz, an artist based in East Toronto, Canada. 💬 “The average foldout map is fun, but can be limited: while it may help you get from here to there, it may also frustrate you... Here is a map that is on your side. It is designed to help you get anywhere and to remind you of the beauty of the paths you trace as you go your way.” If you look carefully you'll even find a bit of Penge and Crystal Palace Park in there! Thanks to Blaise for such a stunning conclusion to the series, and for donating his royalties to @stchrishospice You can pick up You Will Find the Way for just £2 (link in profile or bit.ly/ColCart), but why not grab the whole Series Six set: six wonderful and varied zines for just £10, including work by ✨ @rebecca_k_jones ✨ @querstret ✨ @jeffyoung.26 ✨ @merepseud ✨ @chiaraambrosiovisualartist #zines #zinemaker #smallpress #colossivepress #illustration #collage #bookarts #turkishmapfold #handmade #art #zinester #artistsoninstagram #print #printsnotdead #blaisemoritz #digitalart #mapmaking #cartography https://www.instagram.com/p/CZwgxgjLo7g/?utm_medium=tumblr

Posted @withregram • @colossivepress You join me once again for Cosmo Chancer's Colossive Instagram Takeover. And this time, we take a look at another of my classic works on the Penge Sculpture Trail, 'Drink Up, Colin' . Everyone loves this uncannily accurate likeness of grumpy bulldog Colin, who used to live in Penge. Colin's owner - also called Colin - was a regular in The Pawleyne Arms. His long-suffering wife - not called Colin - would sometimes send the dog to bark outside the pub door when dinner was ready. Incidentally, this is where the old saying, 'Drink up, Colin - Colin's here' comes from . And if you like this sort of thing, you can buy a copy of Cosmo Chancer's Penge Sculpture Trail at colossive.com - or follow the link in the bio. #cosmochancerscolossivetakeover #cosmochancer #pengesculpturetrail #penge #SE20 #publicart #smallpress #colossivepress #zines #drinkupcolin #sculpture #landart #landscapeart #photozine #streetphotography #dog https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpIMJXAvVs/?igshid=d0n8vuhpsagh

Posted @withregram • @colossivepress Welcome to Cosmo Chancer's Colossive Instagram Takeover - and massive props to the guys at Colossive for letting me loose on their account in the hope of shifting more copies of my book (link in bio) As you're doubtless already aware, I'm the chief curator and artist-in-residence on the Penge Sculpture Trail. So I thought I'd use this opportunity to showcase some of my most celebrated works . First up, here's 'The Great Escape' - a collaboration with Harry 'Houdini' McClintock, the man who's been dubbed 'Penge's worst escapologist'. Harry's been stuck inside his tarpaulin lair for more than two years now, although he's at pains to point out that he's never had any real desire to escape from Penge. And frankly, why would he? . #cosmochancerscolossivetakeover #cosmochancer #pengesculpturetrail #penge #SE20 #publicart #smallpress #colossivepress #zines #photozines #streetart #landscapeart #landart #trash #junkculture #streetphotography #photography https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpH_FhgX2Q/?igshid=4sqlzgkohapv
