Coulsdon's Art Rebellion are now stocking my prints of Croydon's various views (along with other prints of my art from around the area). They are an interesting place: art gallery, cafe, shop, picture framers and with a warren of corners and rooms to investigate. When I was dropping off my prints, there was a film crew upstairs shooting something for a murder mystery drama, so you never know what you might find down there in leafy Coulsdon.

Crystal Palace Dinosaur Cushions

Back from extinction, my Crystal Palace dinosaur cushions have emerged once again from the railway tunnel.

A while ago, I had some for sale as part of a design competition through OhhDeer.com. That was only ever going to be a short term thing, so after the comp ended I thought that I should get some made myself. The cushions are inspired by my (almost) famous print Crystal Palace Monsters, that featured in that Londonist exhibition all those months ago.

It's a one-sided digital print on 100% cotton cover, with just black fabric on the reverse. Size is 18"x18" or 46x46cm, with an inner cushion pad (100% Polypropylene casing, 100% Polyester Hollow Fibre filling).

The price is £40 plus postage, with £5 from every sale going to the lovely team at Friends of Crystal Palace Dinosaurs to help them preserve and celebrate the Victorian prehistoric sculptures in Crystal Palace Park, south London. On sale via my online store.

In addition to the cushions, if you buy any A3 print of the dinosaurs or the extinct creatures from my site, they also create a £5 donation to FCPD.

Phone covers and other merchandise

I'm happy to announce that you can now buy all sorts of merchandise featuring my designs, via the Art Rookie website. T-shirts, mobile phone covers, ceramic plates, bags and more. New products will be added as the days go by, but to begin with there is (mostly) a Crystal Palace theme with the current releases.

Subway Friends Prints

This is just a very small post to flag up that prints of the 'Subway Friends' series of artworks, that I created in the summer, are now on sale in my shop. Inspired by the magical, but hidden, Crystal Palace Subway in south London. The digital prints are A4 size (including a border) and come on 310gsm Hahnemuhle German Etching paper. They are £18.50 each plus postage/packing. If you want to read about the exhibition that spawned their creation, have a look at the earlier post on this blog Gallery with a drawbridge.

Crystal Palace Overground Festival - Inspired By The Subway

Back at the end of June, I joined the masses at the Crystal Palace Overground Festival, and helped out on the Friends of Crystal Palace Subway  'Inspired By The Subway' stall.

Regular readers of my blog will know my interest and artistic connections with the Victorian subway at the edge of Crystal Palace Park. The stall was there to promote the existence of the structure to people and also as a small platform for artists to sell their artworks inspired by the wonderful arches down there.

Despite the odd downpour, I found it great fun working with the other artists and volunteers throughout the day. Some of the artists selling their wares on the day included photographer James Balston, Sinead Taylor and Julian Davies.

I found being able to meet people who like your work face to face was really inspiring, and not something you can appreciate if you sell work via the web (or through other shops).

Thanks to everyone who let me use their photos, including Joel Antunes who took the black and white shot of me on my own. Keep your eyes peeled for some Subway related art at the forthcoming Open House Weekend in September 2014.
