Here are some shots of the exhibition On The Map at the Hastings Museum & Art Gallery.
I guess you cannot see my Hastings  paper cut really!
Oh well, I guess you'll have to go and visit! It is on till the 17th of june!

Jersey anyone?

Not the one you wear !
The one where you might have gone on holidays ...
I've just finished this paper cut on an old map of Jersey bus routes!
You'll be able to see it in the flesh at Polish and Pin Artists open house in Brighton from next week end!

Hastings Museum & Art Gallery

Fancy a visit to Hastings? A walk on the sea front, fish and chips ... and a bit of art and culture ?
Go on, come along to the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery! 
You've got till the 17th of June to admire a varied selection of maps from the Museum's collection which will be on display, including Samuel Cant's 1746 Survey of Hastings, and William Gant's 1852 Survey.

I have been selected to take part in this exhibition of Historic Maps and Contemporary Map Art along with seventeen artists who also use cartography for inspiration in their artwork.  

I have designed a paper cut for Hastings for this exhibition, but can't show you until saturday when the exhibition will open ....

or ... you could come to the Private View on Friday, from 6-8pm when the exhibition will be officially opened, there will be live music by The Lucky Ones.

but I cannot resist! another one of my sneak peaks !!!!

These past few weeks I have been creating and preparing for a new exhibition of my papercuts  at the lovely Pelham House in Lewes.
The talented artist Alvaro Petritoli is also showing some of his work there.
I had of course the urge to create a "Lewes special"!   (I have not got as far as naming it yet!!!)
Here is a little sneak peak!!!
Hope the great and good of Lewes like it!

If you are around Lewes on Sunday 19th, pop in for a free drink at the preview between 5-7p.m or come and sample the many interesting shops in Lewes and pop into Pelham House, where you can enjoy not only some great art but fine food and a drink in these sumptuous surroundings. 

This is also a sneak peek at Alvaro's work.
