Celebration Day, prints
Youtube hidden gems #1 - The art & craft of carving wood for prints
And Now for Something Completely Different, I encourage you to discover the small but great youtube channel of David Bull, a tokyo-based woodblock printmaker.
The man is a natural storyteller in addition of being a great carver, so give it a shot before assuming printmaking isn’t in the realm of things that interest you.
It is quite enthralling to observe and listen to someone with such passion and long lasting dedication to that such a demanding craft.
I would also add his channel in stuff you can do to calm down after a rough day, thanks to David’s original content and the calming way he foes about telling his stories.
'A Film We're All Writing' coming soon to a Peckham venue near you...

If you're lucky I will dress as a skeleton.

This exhibition presents scenarios, characters and themes from a visual eco-‘epic’ about environmental degradation, how it came about and continues to be enabled by an ongoing domino effect that started with Colonialism.
SHOW DATES: June 1st - 26th OPENING NIGHT: June 2nd (7-11pm) SLAM FRIDAYS: June 24th (7-11pm) The story is set in a conceptual land called ‘The Swaglands’ which is, for reasons including the artist's own misguided idealism, very much based on the Australian Outback. This fictional but reality-inspired location makes use of some irony I am about to relate to you: The ‘red heart’ of Australia includes a geographical area called Utopia – a concept we all learn about in literature at school, and definitely at art school. However nobody seems to know there is a real place called Utopia, where social and environmental conditions for Aboriginals are horrific. It is ironic then, that in education – particularly in the areas of creative problem solving and awareness-raising that are art and literature – we are not even made aware of the plight that befalls indigeneity across the developed world (and undeveloped) when it is sitting right under our lucky noses and underpinning our most valued cultural and entertainment concepts. Pop and cult cultural aesthetics and references are employed to communicate what are essentially pop and cult culture (mainstream and of mass implication and appeal) issues of environmentalism and decolonialization. We all are implicated, in cause and effect. Specific dynamics within the 'cultiness' or the 'popiness' of such cultural scenes or poducts have been identified. These dynamics themselves are also referenced as they provide a template for cooperative living.
And here are some more studio photos of me getting things ready...
Some of my SWAG garments, and a lovely conceptual piece I made - the best things about ambiguous haughty contemporary art trends is I feel I can get away with using all the crap from my studio bin. I really do have the prettiest trash.
Meet AMERICAN SKELETON.
