The Caught Exhibition

Well, I've got to say we were both really chuffed to find out about this super secret hush hush cool arty exhibition held at Temple Works last week! Both Johnny's new friend Pete and our old Comic Book Night friend John Chamberlain let us know about it, so I guess we're quite well connected in the Leeds art scene :D The Caught Exhibition was organised by BestJoinedUp who set up Live Art Events in Leeds and across the UK and featured lots of tiptoptastic illustrative artworks from John and tons of other exceptional artist's work.


We didn't take any photos (not wanting to break the whole secrecy hush hushness of it all) but you can check out BestJoinedUp's photos on Flickr here or the ones on their FaceBook group where they've linked to other peep's photos from the event too.

We also saw a cool 'guerilla infra-red graffiti installation' called FriiSpray which has been developed by the Jam Jar Collective, some beeeautiful illustration/ graffiti/ street art from The Pern, Neil Women158 Parkinson, Sune, Replete and many more - wow those guys are prolific!

Help!

The latest issue of the Good To Know Project is out now! Johnny and I had our collaborative doodle and submission for the topic of help featured in the zine. We talked about the friends that we've made through our collective 'Kooji Creative,' how it's been a great help to have a support network of this kind and how important it is that we share advice and information with fellow creatives.

What sort of support do you receive as an artist? What advice would you share with fellow artists about getting help?

The Fireys

Just spotted this blog post over at Lord Whitney and a link to the photographs they took at this year's Emerging Artists Awards, at artsmix, for their 'Cabinet of Curiosities.' An amazing side show attraction style exhibit allowed us to don cool masks and get dressed up as the 'Fireys' from the film Labyrinth.
