The Argus newspaper gave it 5 stars - wow!

While Mark Sheerin of Culture 24 says:

‘There’s a sense of make believe to this show which is infectious.’

Read full review here.

A very hot Art Junky Market






Blimey it was very hot today.  Me and my mate Kate did Brighton's Art Junky Market in the Phoenix.  It was a little quiet to begin with, so we just seemed to eat lots of sweets and cherries and cakes.  Basically we ate a lot and then made up words on the calculator.  Luckily the punters came later - lots of people were digging the new wooden rulers and summer tees.
Thanks to all those that made it down.  Hopefully there will be a Christmas one too.

Art Junky this Sunday

Come along to the seaside this weekend and pop along to the Art Junky market this Sunday at the Phoenix Gallery in Brighton.

I'm going to be having a greeting card sample sale and doing some fab deals on my new collection of tees.  It's only £1 admission and is on from midday to 6pm.

I will also be selling some of my Small Wonders souvenirs!!

See you there.

Wearing owls in your hair makes you wise


For some of the pieces I made for Small Wonders, I couldn't resist making up some Woody truths.  I found these bizarrely shaped wooden pieces in the wood shop on North Road and decided I liked them.  I started drawing a woman with a bun hair style but suddenly there was an owl hiding in the hair.  And then other.  And so the first Small Wonders Myth was born:  in Portugal in 1900s women would wear owls in their hair to make them wise.

Woody's Wooden Rulers have arrived!




38cm of pure wood - oh and a little bit of mental on the top edge so you can cut out your own art. Functional art - wicked.  There's only 90 of them (hand numbered by moi) so get them while you can.  

If I sound ridiculously excited by this ruler, it's because I am ridiculously excited or merely ridiculous.  

I forgot to say it's part of my souvenir range for my current Brighton exhibition Small Wonders.
