I'll be heading over a bit later this evening, going to eat some pizza first though....because you wanted to know that.
Hopefully I'll see you later!

The International Postcard Show 2012 Official Press Release
Hello people!!
Today I received an email detailing the official press release for The International Postcard Show 2012 being held at The Surface Gallery...which I am a part of!! Please see below for details regarding the show. It would be amazing if you could attend the private view on 24th January, me and my wife will be there between 6pm and 8pm. If you can't then you can still attend up until 11th February. All this is detailed below. Enough waffling from me now though.
The International Postcard Show 2012
Open: 25th January – 11th February
Preview: 24th January 6-8pm
Surface Gallery is delighted to present the first exhibition of 2012 The International Postcard Show. Curated by Surface Gallery, this long-standing annual exhibition features hundreds of original artworks connected solely by their 4” x 6” format. The show brings together works by established practitioners, students, new comers and international artists from as far afield as Europe and USA, with each individual postcard acting as a celebration of the diversity in practice and location of the participating artists.
Following the success of last year’s very first Surface Gallery artwork exchange, all participating artists have once again been given the opportunity to receive an original artwork in exchange for their own following the completion of the show. This unique aspect of the exhibition offers artists the chance to connect worldwide through a random and remote exchange system. These original artworks are also for sale throughout the exhibition, priced at just £15. This is an ideal opportunity to discover up and coming artists and to buy some original work for an affordable price.
Before the days of emails, Facebook, and Twitter people would send postcards that time-travelled all over the world as a way to 'keep in touch'. This year we are introducing an interesting interactive aspect to the International Postcard Show as visitors, inspired by the exhibition, you can create your own personalised postcard at Surface Gallery. Come and write to loved ones, estranged friends, or your neighbours and get reconnected by the satisfying process of writing and sending a simple postcard.

New Exhibitions Announced!
Hi all
Just realised that I need to start promoting this blog a bit more, I haven't told anyone about it yet!! I think I'll do that after I've posted this!
Soooooooo...last week, I sent 2 pieces in to Surafce Gallery in Nottingham and they will be displayed at The International Postcard Show 2012, which will be running from 25th January - 11th February 2012, with a private viewing on the 24th January. So this means that I will be participating in MY FIRST OFFICIAL EXHIBITION!!!!!! I'm very excited about it if you can't tell! Basically, I will have 2 postcard sized pieces on display, one called 'Wish You Were Here 1943' and 'Abyss' (I will upload images of these soon). They will be on sale for £15 each, so if you fancy popping to Surface Gallery and buying one, you would make my day! To be honest though, I'm just happy that I've got work going on display.
