The Arrival of my Print Gocco from America!!

The arrival of my new Print Gocco from Susan in America! These are like gold dust as they stopped manufacturing them a couple of years ago.

A lovely welcome note from Susan

Sophie, Edward and Ben like the look of it too, but hands off it's my new toy!

The box is pretty good too

Polystyrene muscle men!

Watch this space for Gocco prints......

The New Arcadian Journal at 30 - talk by NAJ Editor Dr Patrick Eyres

Fantastic illustrated talk last night by Patrick! Entertaining, detailed with lashings of historical intrigue! Really well attended too.

The New Arcadian Journal - illustrated talk

Editor/publisher of the New Arcadian Journal, Patrick Eyres will be presenting an illustrated talk entitled ' The NAJ at 30' which will commence at 6.30pm on Thursday 17th February 2011 in the Education room at Leeds University. This will be followed by an informal conversation with the contributing artists, Catherine Aldred, Chris Broughton, Howard Eaglestone and Andrew Naylor. Anyone interested in attending can find out further information and print out an invitation by clicking here.

The talk is being organised by the Friends of University Art and Music. Admission is £6 for FUAM members and their guests, £8 for non-members and free for those joining FUAM on the day. Any profit goes to the FUAM charity to buy artworks or fund concerts at the University.

If you can't make Patrick's talk, there is also a "retrospective" private view being held on Friday 11th March at the University from 6pm, so please do come along.

The New Arcadian Journal at 30 - exhibition of work

From 17th January - 19th March 2011 some of my illustrations for the New Arcadian Journal (NAJ) will feature in an exhibition which is being held at Leeds University Gallery to celebrate the Journal's 30th anniversary. "Creative and bucolic, the New Arcadian Journal, continues to shed new light on historical landscapes as well as contemporary artists' gardens, by championing the study of political gardening, and by promoting restoration of place and meaning."

A further exhibition featuring my work for the NAJ is also scheduled to open towards the end of 2011 in the library of the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds. I shall post full details of this nearer the time.
