It's at Temple Mill in Holbeck Leeds if your up for it - just visit here to RSVP.

Feral Magazine is here!

2009-10-17T13:25:00.003+01:00

Feral is a little creation between myself and mystery man Daniel Lancaster, it is simply a full colour, 44 page magazine full of wonderful relatively unknown artists. We bravely decided to have no text in the magazine so we could get more creativity for your money, you can go on the blog here to read features on all the artists and you can also buy a copy here. This is one of the spreads i have in the magazine, a cheeky illustration of the famous magpie rhyme.

Dolls House

2009-01-12T19:36:00.001Z

I saw this on Art Moco today and fell in love! wouldn't it be amazing to live here?
'Heather Benning’s Dollhouse is a larger-than-life piece that was situated in a Saskatchewan field. The artist replaced the back of the house with Plexiglass, allowing for a typical dollhouse viewing. Inside, Benning had redecorated the abandoned house with furniture of the 1960s, when the house was left empty. Benning’s work is featured in the MADE in the WEST exhibit that closes in Calgary on June 8 and reopens in Edmonton on June 20. After the jump, we have a bit of Benning’s take on cows, what with their nice legs and television watching habits.' - text from Art Moco
