Project Cardiff

Saturday, May 5th, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Collaboration, News Feed

ProjectCardiff will consist of a series of portraits of those people who make a valuable contribution to the life and soul of Wales’ capital city.

This inaugural chapter of ProjectCardiff will focus upon those individuals who are making a positive contribution to the creative cultural life of Wales’ capital city. These individuals may be involved in some way with artistic, creative, design or cultural endeavours: people who help to shape, influence & make a difference in Cardiff through their talent, enthusiasm and hard work.

ProjectCardiff invites the community of Cardiff to participate in this project by nominating their own creative and inspirational heroes. Help us identify these individuals whether they be artists, activists, architects, bloggers, crafters, designers, developers, entrepreneurs, film makers, organisers, promoters, performers, imaginators…

What is it about these individuals that impresses most?
How are they making a difference?

ProjectCardiff seeks to unearth the interesting and inspiring stories of Cardiff’s inhabitants and draw people’s attention to the city’s vibrant energy and abundance of talent.

ProjectCardiff is not intended to be a popularity contest and as such individuals will not be selected based upon the number of nominations they receive. Nominations for neophytes to the creative and cultural industries will be considered with equal merit to those received for long established creative entrepreneurs who have brought a multitude of activities, events and other projects to the city.

A selection panel will be convened later this year to assess the nominations received along with those names canvassed from conversations with the lovely people who dwell in this energetic young city following which individuals will be invited to sit for a portrait by the talented photographer Lann Niziblian.

Do please visit www.projectcardiff.com to make a contribution to this project and nominate a Cardiffian who has inspired you recently.

I’ve just finished this hand embroidered unicorn-porn hoodie. It’s a one off item that will be available from my Etsy shop from 7:00pm (GMT) tomorrow evening (Monday 5 March 2012) for £55.00. There’s only one of these in existence – I don’t even have one myself – so you’ve the chance to get your paws on a unique item.

The drawing has been hand embroidered using high quality white, silver and pink DMC embroidery threads. The jumper is a good quality men’s medium hooded sweater from H&M which has a rather lovely soft lining; it’s a cosy jumper.

Be sure to pop along to my Etsy shop tomorrow evening to get your hands on this unique piece >> www.etsy.com/shop/spikeworld

South Wales Echo Press Clipping

Sunday, December 18th, 2011
Posted in: Blog

I received this little press cutting via Mother Spike. Apparently one of her friends had spotted my name in the South Wales Echo last Monday, 12 December. Although it gives the impression that I was interviewed for the piece the first I heard of it was on Friday morning. It seems that the paper misquoted the news article about the ‘On The Map’ exhibition that I posted on Spikeworld last week. I’m not particularly bothered by that; being referred to as ‘Mr Dennis’ is rather discomforting though. It almost makes me sound like a grown up!!

To be honest I found it it a little odd that the South Wales Echo would run an article, no matter how small, about an exhibition in Hastings that doesn’t open for a good three months. Not that I’m complaining; it’s nice of them to give me a mention. Should they be so kind as to give me a shout out in the future though I hope they won’t be too shy to give me a call first. After all I don’t bite.

Jade Gilbert: Untitled (May 2011)

Intended to showcase and support unique and innovative artists working in the UK today, Bank Street Art’s drawing and illustration season will present a varied programme of solo, joint and group exhibitions across two galleries.

My work has been selected, along with that by Jade Gilbert, for the first exhibition in the series which will be on show from the 20 September until the 29 October 2011. My work will occupy the Atrium Space whilst Jade’s will be on display in the Juniper Gallery. Apparently there will be an exhibition Private View at a later date, the details of which I will post here once it’s confirmed.

Bank Street Art’s drawing and illustration season is being curated by Chloe Reith and this inaugural exhibition will be followed by a programme of exhibitions leading into the new year.
