Tim Patrick

Last night I popped along to the private view of Tim Patrick’s exhibtion ‘Paintings of Light and Quiet’ at Gallery 40 in Brighton’s North Laine. It was a refreshing and inspiring evening’s viewing; compounding my reawakened love of paint. I wont spend too long expounding the many virtues of Tim’s work but instead would encourage everyone to get along there as soon as possible to see some fine examples of contemporary figure painting.

The show finishes on the 5th June, you can read more about Tim on his website: www.timpatrick.co.uk

Donna Fullman

A few months back Brighton indie songstress, life class attendee and friend Donna Fullman asked me to undertake some drawings for her upcoming album ‘Inner World’. We sat down for several sittings, playing around with still life sketches and portraits all rendered in very unpredictable ink. Fueled by coffee and danish pastries I drew this and Donna added letters; we’re rather pleased with it.

Donna will be playing the Green Door Store on the 29th May and if indie, folky loveliness is your thing I recommend you get down there too.

This time last year Daisy Jordan and crew put on Orson and Valentine, a magical puppet show, at the studio. The amazing Tom Newman composed this for it…

The main theme for “Orson and Valentine”. It was a puppet show created by Daisy Jordan for the Brighton Fringe festival.

Grimm Tales

Last Saturday we held our latest Drawing Circus even, Grimm Tales, at the Sallis Benney theater in Brighton. The event was a sell out and a huge success with over 100 people drawing on the day and a full troupe of models and musicians evoking the narratives of Grimm’s Fairytales in a series of musically accompanied tableaux.

Photos from the event and details of our next drawing Circus are coming soon; in the meantime take a look at some of these pictures drawn on the day…

My graphic designer friends from the Entente sent this to me today. I think it perfectly illustrates my awful lack of online artistic presence.
