I'm assuming this has been run past very good lawyers because he's on dodgy ground if the offer is genuine.

Every once in a while something comes along to restore ones faith in the ability of artists to make a worthwhile point.

This looks interesting: www.sfwam.org/homeTen years ago the founder of Waxploitation, Jeff Antebi, had an idea to ask his favorite music artists and favorite contemporary painters to come together and collaborate on original children’s stories for a benefit project. Today, 29 of those pairings make up the 350 page book project called Stories for Ways & Means. The book includes stories from Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Frank Black, Justin Vernon, Laura Marling, Devendra Banhart, Alison Mosshart and Kathleen Hanna as well as painters/illustrators like Anthony Lister, Dan Baldwin, Swoon, Will Barras, James Jean, Ronzo, Kai & Sunny, and more.

you have no idea how much i love this. more please Thank you. I'm trying to get a show at one of the local coffee shops/tea rooms but none of them take me seriously.
I might have to tell them I attended Central St. Martins or something. Trick them.
Failing that, sneak my shit onto their walls, one artwork at a time.
Put your drawings/art onto t-shirts and get people to wear one and go and stand in your local coffee shop/tea room, and hey presto! your art on display in said establishment.

Going to give a plug to this, at 5th Base Gallery just off Brick Lane: Forty Years in the Wilderness by Mike Coles, 21st - 26th Oct, PV 20th. www.5thbase.co.uk/forthcoming
This exhibition heralds the publication of Forty Years in the Wilderness, a visual account of Mike Coles's graphic journey on the fringe of art, design and music since his arrival in London in 1976 armed with £90, a rucksack and a little book of drawings.
"Whilst living in Covent Garden in 1977 a friend gave me a set of prints by John Heartfield, the German artist who produced highly political anti-nazi photomontages. I started messing around with cut-up magazine photos and newspaper ads creating twisted and surreal images and soon I’d swapped the pen for the scalpel. And I bought a camera." In 1979, MIke formed Malicious Damage Records with a few mates and an unknown band called Killing Joke, his logic being that if you had your own record label you could design all the record sleeves, posters, t-shirts and maintain what he refers to as "stubborn independence". Some of the label's more idiosyncratic releases include a Shriekback album released on an egg and elaborate Orb box sets featuring, aside from the music, prints, postcards, badges, boxes of "ephemera" and action figures.
That early bold, atmospheric Killing Joke imagery is now legendary and forty years later Mike is still creating and treading his own path, single-handedly running Malicious Damage Records, still working with Killing Joke and The Orb, doing live VJ sets, realising his visions on film and video and meddling with the art of photomontage.
Mike's career has spanned five decades, from the twilight days of hot metal type, drawing boards and cow gum, through the revolutionary arrival of the computer and on in to the digital future of smartphones and social media.
"I love to subvert images and twist them out of context, transforming something nice into something nasty, or taking something evil and making it funny. It's always fascinated me, the evil behind the smiles and the grin behind the wickedness. I think it probably harks back to my strict catholic schooling... all those nuns and priests. I like cute things too."
The exhibition showcases a selection of Mike's stark graphic creations from the 1970s and 1980s through to current projects and works in progress and also features an installation of innovative and experimental video works

Agreed. Predictable that certain papers used his work to attack Corbyn, despite Darren's absence from the conference. But then why let the facts get in the way of a story to fit an agenda.

What are your favourite three things about it? What is it that makes it a great forum? I'm genuinely curious and would love to hear your opinions. I'm still there, but mainly to have a presence just in case of sales or purchases. I'll sometimes post, which invariably pisses people off, but that says more about the present members than me. There's very little of any value posted these days. One or two long standing members are worth listening to, but overall it's more force of habit that draws me there. A forum's only as good as its members, and as time moves on and the quality of art/discussion etc deteriorates, the members with something of value to contribute just move on. No point getting worked up about it - we all move on. Finally had enough next door, the thread about the refugees being the straw that broke the camels back.

Massive thanks to Annatomix for today, and a pleasure to watch her work. The work below was bought as part of her Kickstarter project, and really pleased with the results and opportunity to help finance a worthwhile project. Work painted on my driveway. A reminder of my hunt sabbing days. www.huntsabs.org.uk Despite the ban, the fight continues. Wow, that's got to be bargain of the year, brilliant stuff. I was so tempted with one, but house is going on the market, so couldn't do it. Well done you. Is it like having builders round? Do you keep her topped up with tea and coffee all day Thank you. Tea, cold water, sun block, and veggie food.

did anyone here pick up the book? i got the postcards and I can't tell if it's just me getting old, but all the pictures seem blurry Ordered the book, but got the postcards instead. Too much hassle too worry about, so will get the book when comes near me ( Aldershot ) in June. And yes, the pictures are blurry.
