Sorry it's been a while since last posting on here, you know how life can get busy sometimes.
So on 24th January, me and my wife attended the private viewing of The International Postcard Show 2012. I have to say I felt weirdly nervous, but after entering the gallery and getting a glass of red wine, it was fine!
The layout of all the postcards looked great, all of them displayed on shelves one on top of the other. For almost 300 postcards on display, each one stood out and they weren't bunched up together.
There were some great postcards on display. Particular mentions I want to include are:
Chris Arkham - http://www.chris-askham.co.uk/
Leo Bennett - http://www.leobennettart.blogspot.com/
Grace Cole - http://gracecole.carbonmade.com/
Check them out!
I left my wife guessing as to which 2 postcards were mine. As self indulgent as it might be, I had to know where they were as soon as I walked in to the gallery! It was quite hard to keep a straight face after she came across them and started staring at them!
I still profess it to be quite a strange feeling for my work to be on display in a gallery! I think what I found even more weird was seeing people picking up my postcards to have a look (especially an elderly gentleman having a good look at 'Wish You Were Here' and then having a look at my contact information...really hope he doesn't send some kind of death threat!).
Overall it has been an amazing experience. The show is still on until 11th February so please go and have a gander. Check out the Surface Gallery's blog regarding it: http://surfacegallerynottingham.blogspot.com/
I'm still in the process of putting work on to my blog, as I said life's been busy recently so bare with me.
See you soon.
