This Week In The Studio

There are quite a few new orphans arriving but at the moment they are having to wait a while until they join a family as I'm in the process of a huge sort out of my studio space (which has become so full / overloaded / chaotic... it's a very small space, there's almost no room left for me)

They go through some laborious painting phases and spend quite a lot of time 'resting' until moving on to the next stage.

The Moretti Family

The Moretti family name sprung from the love of one of my favorite film directors, Italian Nanni Moretti. He's films are fantastically off-beat and non conformist, a million miles from the mundane and mainstream. He normally appears in his own films... to name a couple, The Son's Room, Aprile, Dear Diary.

Really did get stuck in the snow..

A big sorry to anyone who was expecting to see me and the orphans at The Assembly Room, Brighton. In the end the weather just made traveling too difficult.

If you were hoping to bag an orphan, here are several in this online shop, also at The Shop Floor Project  and of course the Saltburn Artists Project (see earlier post)

I've heard the event was a great success and there are plans afoot for a similar event in the Spring...

Charity Shop Orphans at The Assembly Room

I will be at The Assembly Room, Brighton’s new art / design market, with Charity Shop Orphans and memorabilia plus other Haybox illustration gifts and cards.  It will launch on 4th December 2010. 

Brighton based designers Ridley / Dowse will assemble carefully selected local and national contemporary artists, print makers, designer/makers, illustrators and crafts people to create a one of a kind market just in time for Christmas. You will find fresh directional and contemporary products, gifts and art work all under one beautiful roof.

The Assembly room will offer something a little different to the usual craft market or fair. Put the date in your diary. Please share this event with all your friends and help make it a huge success for all involved.

Charity Shop Orphans Booklet at De La Warr

More Charity Shop Orphans books have gone on sale in the bookshop one of my favourite places in England, the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill On Sea, East Sussex.

Built right on the sea front in 1935 the pavilion itself is stunning. I love sitting with a coffee and my notebooks on the second floor cafe balcony. The current exhibition of American photography is a really interesting mix of places and portraits, historical and contemporary.
