...enough of the day job here's some other stuff.
In mid-January it seemed timely to launch the
Random Project 2012.
I'm inviting everybody to create a postcard in response to a random word relating to either London, 2012 or the Olympics. We will all, in effect, become the artists-in-residence for a historic year. The random words were tweeted and Facebooked to me and the project is receiving regular postcard contributions, many from around the world. 2nd January 2012
Having
Gym Carriages
on trains is an idea I've been boring friends in the pub about for a while now, and the start of a new year seems like a good time to put it out there. I don't have the facilities to make it happen but it would be great if somebody did. Click on the images to

The Dog Bingo Online Pup-up Gallery opened for two weeks in December to accompany our Dog Bingo event. We hosted games of canine Bingo, ran a lucky dip, I printed Dog Bingo lino prints live in the studio and sold packs of dogs (postcards). The inspiration was the new studio terrier Pip and the dogs we meet when we take him for walks in the park. Proceeds from the prints and Dog Bingo events went to The Mayhew Animal Home who rescued and rehabilitated Pip. I've created a series of alternative London 2012 posters in response to the official Olympic and Paralympic posters unveiled this month. These alternative posters take different themes such as eating, drinking and the office environment as they reflect the everyday of living and working in London.

Designs are inspired by sketchbooks, overheard conversations and found things collected along the way.
Rusty Letters and numbers from a disused sheep ranch in Western Australia. The ranch closed down in the 70s and is now part of a national park, the stencils have hung in the shed as part of an exhibition ever since. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Eat your Words: food as a system of communication
"The ideal celebratory meal had a structure that started off with an appetising hot and messy dish of gravy over meat and potatoes (without which a meal is not a dinner), and became more of an architectural achievement as it went on through pudding (on a smaller plate), and tea with an optional small coloured biscuit (on a still smaller plate)."

Alfalfabet
Daily photographs of alfalfa seeds sprinkled over a stencil onto a fabric backing. These were watered every day until the seeds had grown, and then left unwwatered until they shrank and died. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
