Small Wonders Private View


Thank you to all those who made it down to the Small Wonders Private View at Boxbird Gallery in Brighton last night.  Had a beautiful evening and was so happy to see people really looking at the work rather than heading straight to the bar.

Although, we did rather enjoy the bar area with it's Tuaca and ginger beer cocktails - a Boxbird special and beautifully crafted edible small wonders from Jess and Ratna - the miniature jam tarts were dangerously addictive.

I'm very happy with the show - just sad that I don't have to keep making work for it - it's one of those themes that you can really fly with.

Thanks to Alice, Graham, Jess, Ratna and Si for all there amazing help with setting up the show - it truly wouldn't have happened without you.  And thank you to Catherine for my beautiful bottle of pink lemonade - it's so gorgeous I just want to look at it and not drink it.

We ended up in Wick Inn as usual where we suddenly remembered we hadn't taken any photos of the evening - not the best time to have a photo shoot.  We became rather obsessed with my new shoes...

This photo captures me discussing the perils of becoming bloated after prolonged drawing sessions, while co-owner of Boxbird and fellow illustrator Graham Carter looks on.

Well the Small Wonders' Show is up until 12th July at Boxbird Gallery in Brighton.

The Boxbird Mural

From this....
to this...

I got one very brown arm yesterday when painting the Small Wonders mural outside of Boxbird Gallery.  Great fun.   It seems to have attracted rather a lot of interest already - I even made a new friend from Switzerland.  Someone asked me which country the outline was based on, but it's actually been inspired by the uneven wall.  Small Wonders opens to the public this Friday and is on until 12th July at Boxbird Gallery - prior appointments should be made if you want to come and see the show on a Monday or Tuesday.
