This almost passed me by completely. Thanks to a few people who have pointed me in the right direction.
Will be there. I'll be the one with bells on, stalking bigman as he buys the Hera originals I want.

I should be at Sesame, BRP and Frankies do - so good chance I'll get to meet Mike and some of the other bods I haven't met yet.
Make sure to say Hello - I'll be wearing a flip-flop on one foot, a crash helmet and spray on speedos - nothing else.
Easily identified you might think? but bearing in mind, this is Hoxton/Brick Lane and no doubt there will be many people in the same outfit - so make sure it's me before you say hello and commit an embarrassing faux pa.

Thursday is the preview. Exhibition officially opens on Friday. It's a small space so make sure you're on the list for Thursday or the guerillas might turn ugly! ;D

Popped down to the Burning Bridges exhibition , it was a great turn out. A good mix of artists work in the house, great pieces. Labrona, Gwad and Mantis were nice guys to talk to. I Don't usually post but it had to be said. Sorry guys couldn't make the after party. I shall make provisions next time if you know what I mean...lol. Chill Peace

I had a good nose round yesterday and really liked the show.
Highlights for me were a couple of excellent Mr Jago canvasses, the two TLP pieces and all the herakut originals. Check out the wooden stormie mills spray cans as well - they are beautiful.
The new herakut print frankie has is an absolute stunner. They seemed to be selling well last night. Beejoir also released a new (smallish) edition at the show last night which I thought was a very compelling piece.
Some stuff I really wasn't that keen on. There was a wall downstairs filled with work by a belgian collection called bum which was, well, terrible. I'm also not that keen on the labrona stuff but I know I am in the minority on that. Not convinced by Matt Small's new direction either.
The framing on all the pieces was up to gary's usual high standards. I particularly liked the way he had framed the Matt Small pieces and the herakut print.

bum... you mean cum pez. ya. must agree there.
great mix of stuff at the show. I tend to prefer Other's stuff over Labrona. I was impressed by a few things but brain needs a coffee.
Have to disagree on the Beejoir front. I think the image was tired and almost any image can look good printed on duratain in a light box.
more thoughts later...
