I'm pleased to announce the release of 'Burning Love'. All profits from this edition will go to The Acts of Kindness Collective (registered charity no.1164796).
My friend Justin was at Everest base camp when the earthquake hit Nepal in 2015. He was very lucky to survive. In the aftermath he decided to stay and help as much as he could. He reached out to all his friends and through their generous donations was able to purchase and distribute much needed aid quickly and to some of the remotest parts of Nepal. Raising £67,867 Learn more about their initial fundraising efforts here www.gofundme.com/AOKNepal
Justin is returning to Nepal in March to rebuild schools in Sindhupalchok, one of the worst hit areas, in collaboration with All Hands www.hands.org/projects/nepal-earthquake-rebuild/ having already raised £40,000 towards their £100,000 target.
The edition features Justin himself (top right) and his friend Gavin "hugging it out" on top of Jeff Schomberg and Laura Kimpton's sculpture The Pyramid of Burning Love - Burning Man 2014. More on the sculpture and its making here:

I have committed to sending out the first 100 myself and in time for 14th February (spot the clever marketing ploy!) These are being offered here first before anywhere else, as I truly believe this is great image. I wish to give the community I've enjoyed being part of for the last 10 years the chance to do the 2 things they do best, buy art and raise money for a good cause.
To order please email noblankspaces@hotmail.com with 'AOKC' as the subject and include your name and full postal address in body of email.
I will reply acknowledging your order and assign your print number. Payment details will follow AOKC's bank account is just being setup.
I'll be offering collection from a location in London on the 12th February and possibly the week before date TBC. Mark at PFG has kindly offered to do a special price on this black/white 25mm frame with conservation mount, front and back conservation hinge. Fully fitted ready to hang for £45 (normal price would be £78). If you'd like it framed put it in the mail and pay Mark directly on collection.
On the first 100 there will be a 1 per household limit, after that we will happily accept multiple orders.
International orders are welcome but cannot be guaranteed for delivery before 14th Feb I will do my best to post asap. I'll post some pictures of the actual print when I take some in decent light tomorrow.
I'm doing this on my own with no help so please bear with me, questions and feedback are welcome.
