I did no painting last week. Instead I spent Tuesday travelling up to Manchester to deliver
Wish You Were Here to the BlankSpace Gallery for a forthcoming exhibition titled '
No. 1: Paint'. We spent a whole 10 minutes in Manchester, deciding to make tracks when a gang of yoofs came by with their hoods up putting on their woolly gloves as if they were off to have a snowball fight. There were riots in Manchester and Salford that night. There were no reported snowball fights.
On Thursday Verity and I attended the WBS logo awards ceremony at the Design Council in London. We enjoyed a slap-up meal and ample wine, met some interesting people, and I came home with a 2nd prize for my re-rendering of their logo in blue neon after Barnett Newman.
Here is a portrait of the artist with the artwerk, after the awards and the ample wine and the slap-up meal and the interesting people.
Rumour has it the Dean of the school has chosen my artwerk to grace the walls of his office.

ReplyDeleteThanks Woodie!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you look dapper!
ReplyDeleteWell, I like to think I scrub up quite well when I'm not covered in paint.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clare
