Gallery and Google news

another eventful couple of days...

Gallery news

I'm really pleased with myself today....

Exhibition confirmed

I went to a coffee morning in aid of the Macmillan Cancer Support charity at the Gallery Guest House and while I was there,  Karen confirmed they'll be hanging work from me in November (map).

And a new Gallery!

Also, after visiting a couple of places, I dropped into the Art And Soul Gallery, Stoke Village, Plymouth (map) with my just-framed Pony Triptych and Bev was pleased to agree to hang it there and then.

Google Friend Connect want my site as an example

I got an email out of the blue yesterday from the Google product manager for Friend Connect. He'd seen my main site and was impressed both by the way I've integrated their social gadgets and the level of visitor interaction with them. He asked me for permission to use my site as an example, to use my profile photo and also for a quote about Friend Connect.

So a big Thank You to all my followers / members of my site for helping make this happen!

My "Intimate glimpses..." exhibition opens..

...on Wednesday.

Hanging tomorrow

I've now mounted and framed the last four images of the essay and will be hanging them in the Martin Bush Studio Gallery in Royal William Yard (map) tomorrow.

I'm delighted Martin has given me some of the boards normally filled with his exuberant abstracts. It's great that such a well-established artist has given over space for Plymouth - Intimate glimpses of a hidden and changing character

BBC feature

Here is the essay as it appears on the BBC Devon web site, for those of you who want to have a look-see. When you see them "in the flesh" at the gallery, you'll see how much better they look than when you see them on the web.



Whew! I'm glad the last week is over, it's been so busy (=happiness!)—working with the BBC on captions, gallery meetings, printing, mounting, getting images framed, writing/printing wall-cards, celebrating, weekend house-guests...

I should be back to checking over your blogs now and replying to the comments I've seen coming in. Bear with me, normal service will resume shortly...

Map showing where my ParkArt exhibition is

Here's a map showing where my exhibition is - you'll want the B marker (reception). If you look at the satellite view, the Phase II building where the exhibition is, is the first one immediately south, on the other side of Davy Road, marked as C on the map as I look at it today.

Big day tomorrow

Tomorrow is my big day - hanging the canvases at ParkArt. Masavision came up trumps on the canvases, I just had to string them ...and Martin Bush was a great help in all that last minute stuff, so many thanks to him :).
Now fingers and toes crossed!

Preparation for ParkArt Exhibition continues...

Well, the opening day approaches - now set for the 9th September - I still need to schedule the "Salon", the meet the Artist night.
2000 flyers are on their way, marketing / advertising budget set. Details of the exhibition will be displayed on buses, pepper-pot poster drums in Plymouth City Centre, and I'm planning a poster on Derriford roundabout, just down from Tamar Science Park where it's to be held. See a pdf flyer here

Site update

I updated the monochrome gallery this evening. A bit of a pain over a mobile broadband connection but I got there in the end.

(Anyone else having trouble with intermittent connection problems over mobile broadband here in the UK? I'm with O2)

I got my order in to produce all the canvases for my upcoming exhibition at ParkArt, Tamar Science Park, Plymouth. I just have to prepare all the title cards and flyers now. Maybe at the weekend :)

Thanks to John Miles for letting me have the templates.

Optimo - Arts in Plymouth magazine

I got a request during the week for some of my work to be included in Optimo magazine.

I also got notice that I'm to be exhibiting in Park Art, Tamar Science Park, Derriford. It starts on 1st September and finishes at the end of the month.

It follows the first two exhibitions by John Miles and, just opened, Martin Bush. See the Park Art Plymouth web site.
