POW Open Day Sunday December 7th


Managed to get to the POW open day on the quieter day of the two that it was on. Had a great time chilling out and seeing inside the POW offices. Lots of arty tempations and saw pieces that you could only dream of owning, including an original Banksy canvas of Thomas the Tank Engine getting tagged whilst he sleeps.

Part of the event saw a lottery to win a Banksy print, or given the opportunity to purchase the new one called Very Little Helps. The pic above are my stash of 20 tickets prior to filling them in. Hob and Ace were with me and went for the lottery too. They *both* got lucky and had their names picked out of the hat for the chance to purchase the Banksy print. I, unfortunately, did not. Still, I'd made a £20 donation to Sightsavers, someone's eye sight restored, and had a great time up there.

Sickboy Show, Tramshed, Shoreditch, December 7th 2008


Managed to pop along to the first solo show by Sickboy. The show was domintaed by this large shed/house he'd constructed and which you could win if you had thw lucky golden key. I've had no calls to say I've won it yet, which is probably a relief. Where would you put it??

More pics on my flickr.

Children of the Can Jam


Me and the family went down to the docks to see some of the great and the good from the last 25 years going to town with the spraycans.

Brrrrr chilly!!! Fair play to the artists sticking out it into the afternoon as it was well bitter down there.

Southville Temple


The other day I found this beautiful Sickboy temple which I hadn't seen before, well I can't remember seeing it before. It dates from 2004 and is still in cracking, un-buffed condition.

I was to see it again later in the week, this time in the Children of the Can book where it opens the Sickboy chapter. Nice!!
