Yosuke Ueno

Often while admiring other people’s creative endeavours I’m drawn to what I feel I lack in my own. So it’s to Yosuke Ueno and his creation of a unique and vibrant world that I’d like to direct your attention to. Seeming to take place in some fantasy realm of his own creation, it’s really the entire connected world seen throughout so much of his work that I really admire. So make yourself a cup of tea and take a browse, surely better than checking Facebook again!

Sheffield Window Display

As THIS video points out, Sheffield really is a “city on the move”. To continue that endeavour into more recent times, Sheffield City Council along with The Source have created a scheme in which unoccupied shop windows are used to display artwork by local artist. It’s a fantastic opportunity to display artwork in the centre of the city and one I couldn’t pass up.

It’s all just been taken down after three weeks on display and it has been a great way to get my work out there and generate some sales!

Massive thank you to everyone who helped get the display looking as good as it did!

Celluloid Screams

Well this update isn’t very up-to-date as it refers to a group show I helped organise back in October. Celluloid Screams is an annual horror film festival held here in Sheffield at the Showroom Cinema, and this year I co-curated an art exhibition to accompany the weekends activities. Featuring a collection of fantastic local talent the show was a big success with festival attendees taking in a wide selection of horror inspired work. Personally it was a chance for me to work on something different and I created two new pieces for the show, Poltergeist inspired “They’re Here” and a Vincent Price portrait. Hopefully an art exhibition will accompany future Celluloid Screams festivals so I best get thinking for next year!

A big thanks to Rob for inviting me to put on the show and to all the artists involved.
