Look Up Launch

The other week I was fortunate enough to be invited to opening of a new gallery LOOK UP - however this is a gallery with a difference, it's an online gallery. Anyway, they had an actual launch party (rather than a virtual launch party!) with real beer. It was held at the Four Corners exhibition space in Roman Road, London E3 and it was a great evening.


Look Up is an online print store and a platform for artists who explore the creative potential of geometry, line, pattern and colour. The focus reflects a desire to celebrate artists who push the boundaries of their practice, exploring and experimenting with ideas and processes, and ultimately creating prints that bring colour to our lives. This new gallery is the brainchild of Steven Bateman who I met many years ago when he was the Archivist, Curator and Librarian at Pentagram.
Steven's aim is to sell affordable limited edition prints by established and up-and-coming artists alike. Currently he represents work from fifteen artists and it was great to actually meet many of the artists on the evening.
I wish Steven all success with the new venture and many thanks for inviting me along.

#the50 at D&AD New Blood 2011

Yesterday afternoon I made my way to the Truman Brewery in London's Brick Lane to lend a hand at #the50 advice panel at D&AD New Blood 2011.

The idea is to bring established people within the creative industry (including a paper merchant, like me!) to talk to students one-to-one on all aspects of life-after-college.

Unfortunately I arrived late at the end of the day as it was all winding down, but it was a great idea and I can see from the people that I saw, that it can be a really useful thing to speak on a one to one basis to people working within the industry.
It was all organised by Jamie Wieck from Airside seen pictured here on the stand, along with Steven Bateman.

Here's a complete (I think?) list of people on the panel throughout the day (apologies for any missed off)

All in all, a really good idea and well done to Jamie for actually making it happen.
