World of Superheroes Exhibition

Last month saw the first public display of ten super hero themed acrylic paintings I was commissioned to paint back in 2011. The 'Heroes' exhibition took place at the S1 Artspace in Sheffield and featured myself alongside four other artists. It was great to see all ten pieces up in a space large enough to hang them all along one wall! The exhibition also featured six older pieces and four from my recent solo exhibition.

We even managed to get some great publicity for the show as one of the other artist's sculptures make international news for its use of vintage comics. Read more about the full story HERE. It was great to catch a glimpse of my work in the background of the local news!

Massive thanks to Holly and Steve over at World of Superheroes for organising the whole thing.

Derby Store Mural

Back in October last year, I was asked to create a mural piece for a new local Roller Derby shop here in Sheffield. I've never really tackled something so large before but I was keen to give it a go (I had painted a Looney Tunes mural on my bedroom wall when I was a kid, so I guess I had some experience!) Painted over 4 days, the combined challenge of working up a ladder and dealing with the rough surface of brick work made it more of a physical experience than I'm used to (that might just be my poor fitness level though) – all in all, I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  

Thanks to Craig over at Derby Store for the opportunity.
I'm just getting ready to tackle another mural very soon so expect more pics from that job.
