Looking back...no.1

The other day I was backing up some of my work files and thought it might be fun to post some of my old first pieces (under the Seymour thing).
This piece 'Sammy's Snarlers' was really the first actual finished piece I did.
I'd been screwing around with these types of characters for years, but I guess this was the first time everything came together.
At the time I'd just finished a design internship in Vienna....which I loved but....but ended rather badly....which meant I had to spend several months in Edinburgh....(which I loved) not being able to do too much.......long story short, I started to draw heaps and I guess this was my summery of Vienna;) and it's still one of my favourite pieces.

Artief Art fair

I'm just back from a great few days at the Artief art fair in Belgium. The fair was held in Diest, which is not far from Brussels. This was a very unique fair to show at as it was housed at the Hallezaal which is an old fabric warehouse built in 1352. So you can imagine what a buzz it was to show my work in a building that dates 600 years before my own country was even colonised ;)...and in Belgium to make it even better!
It was a weekend of great art, great food and the best beer EVER!
Thanks to our amazing hosts Raf and Miranda who went out of their way to show us a few of the Belgium delicacies ;)
The pictures below of the Hallezaal as well as the Strychnin Gallery booth I was part of.

Artfair 21 and Blooom pics

More pics! Here are a few shots of the Strychnin Booths at this years Artfair 21 and Blooom fair that we have just returned from. This year we had a massive 100m2 and where showing the best of the best from Strychnin Gallery artists. The booths were broken up into artists environments this year which created a really interesting feel when walking through.
I guess I'm a little biased but think it's saying that the quality of the Strychnin Booths really stood out and above the rest;)

Seymours Troll House.

A few months back I posted some pics of a house I have been making for the Köln Artfair 21. After a blurry 3 months I am finally done and have just come back from Köln exhausted but really happy with how it all turned out.
Artfair 21 is one of the biggest art fairs in Europe so it was an honor to be asked to show my work there. The reception was great and I made some really good hookups and contacts.
So below are some pics of the house. It stands about 150cm and is made from a mix of woods, polymers clays, plastics, resins and paint.
If you are in Berlin in February you will get the chance to see it on display in a show at the Strychnin Gallery. If you have any enquiries feel free to get in touch.
