Newpart December Showcase - Le Pub - 2009
I headed down to one of my fave old haunts from the good old days of underage drinking, turbo wedgies and Sailor Jerry's, the legendary LePub in Zooport.
First time I've actually done some live painting in my home town so it was good to see the guys at Newpart taking the initiative and trying to drag Newport kicking and screaming into the creative world.
The event raised lots of money for charity and had a selection of comedy, gypsy punk and poetry.
So above is my quick little painting I did on the night (in the dark I may add!) that was raffled off to some lucky beggar, didn't see who got it as I was off prancing around town dressed as a lumberjack covered in paint, so if it was you let me know!

Fetaured on Wantist Website!
http://wantist.com/dispatches/society6-artist-prints
The article talks about a site where I post work and am a featured artist, I sell high quality prints and follow other artists work.
Sociewaaa?
Society6 is a platform for established and emerging artists to share their work, collaborate with one another and connect with unique opportunities. In addition, fans and supporters, professional and avocational, can discover, promote and even curate digital collections through their social profile. It’s really quite rad.
Those unique opportunities I mentioned are made possible through the Grants section of the site where organizations or individuals can issue cash or opportunities (in the form of say…coveted publicity, a special event or free product) that are awarded based on merit, as determined by the community. Super great, huh?
Clockwise from top left: Hyperheadache (eeshaun), Portland (dibec), Daydreamer (Fiona Rose Batey), Cheeky in Check (Tom Hovey).
