Discerning Eye Prize, 11th November 2010

How to behave at a swish private view: drink as much of the free wine as possible (NEVER refuse top ups), talk loudly about how rubbish other people's work is, take pictures of yourself pointing at your own work with a goofy smile on your face, giggle like children during the boring speeches, etc etc...

Oh so much fun was had at Thursday's preview. Didn't win any prizes (I quite fancied that £5000 purchase prize, but ya know) but felt insanely proud to be showing in this exhibition amongst established artists and newer artists alike. I was really impressed by the standard of the selection, which made me feel all the more giddy to be there.

Have a little looky here at the online catalogue (maybe even buy, eh?):

A new thing with an old thing in it

One of my photo/paintings has been accepted into the ING Discerning Eye Prize and will be part of the Discerning Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London, opening Thrsday 11th Novemebr and running until the 21st.

This is rather exciting isn't it? Ok, so there are about 200 other artists showing in this exhibition, but I'm super chuffed to be one of 'em. This will be the first time I've shown in London, and in a proper gallery with a gift shop and everything.

If you find yourself in that London do come and have a look.
