Legends of Circumstance – Private View – 12/2/10
The private view of Legends of Circumstance is approaching and it’s shaping up to be a real humdinger of an evening. As well as all the great art, which will be on show for the first time in Southampton, we’re launching a limited run Legends of Circumstance zine. It’s features a nice lurid hand printed…

Karl Gets a Visit

Both of these facts should scream ‘DON’T POST IT ON THE WEB!’ to any sane person, but I’ve thought about it, a bit, and decided to…
TFL – Art on the Underground
I still have work exhibited at Charing Cross tube station in London as part of the Art on the Underground Project.
