Pick Me Up


We've been busy for the last few months planning and creating some new work for Pick Me Up 2013. It's a contemporary graphic art fair held at the Somerset House in London. We've very chuffed to be part of the Selects program alongside exciting artists such as Malarky, Jean Jullien and Malika Favre (both fellow Handsome Frank'ers).

We were hoping we could go back for a visit during the fair. We could show Ava our old stomping grounds and visit with friends but unfortunately we didn't get our arses into gear fast enough so we'll be sending our work through the post with fingers and toes crossed that they arrive safe and sound.

If you're in town I hope you can go and visit. There will be workshops and I hear that the amazing Damien Florébert Cuypers will be in residence on select days to do One Minute Portraits...Dang would have loved a family portrait with M and Ava!

Here's a little sneak peek at one of the new pieces we've created. Also we've just put up a huuuuge update to our website. It's been at least half a year since we last updated so there's a lot of projects, some that couldn't fit on the home page but can be found on the separate Tactiles page.

Thanks Sarah and Trixie!

All our the original embroideries except for the Cheer Up pieces were created especially for Pick Me Up and will be for sale during the fair (both the original embroideries and giclee prints). We also released a run of prints for Macho Distrust and Your Head Will Collapse.

After the fair we'll have them all up on our shop but in the meantime we're getting a minisite together so those outside London can see the new series. Stop by the blog next week for the link :)
