Revolver is having an art show at the beginning of next month and I’m lucky enough to be contributing a few pieces. Details are below.

Thursday 1st October 6pm

Revolver Upstairs

We’re having an open studio Sunday two weeks from now, some of the other studios in our complex will be open too. Sixto from Too Yeah Media and I will be there to show you around our studio (#20) and what we’re up to at the moment. This is going to be the first of Ironside’s open studios, and it should be a pretty fun afternoon.

Look forward to seeing some of you there, and I’ve listed the details below for those who are interested in stopping by.

Sunday 20th September, at 1pm – 3pm

Ironside Studios
Suite G08
4 Chelmsford St
Kensington VIC 3031

Spin Spin Handmade has also posted about the open studios, you can view that post here.

The prints I ordered have arrived and thought I’d post a quick photo, they look really good in person. I’m afraid some kind of shopping bug may have hit, I’ve already ordered this print from Poster Cabaret.

I’ve ordered my first art print. I’m almost ashamed to admit that I’ve never purchased one before. I’ve always wanted to start a collection, but when it came to ordering my first print I’ve been pretty slow to say the least. I generally fly low on the consume things radar.

I chose Shiny Showcase – ‘Vade Retro Satana’ and ‘The Last Leaf’ by Aesthetic Apparatus and Cole Gerst over at Tiny Showcase. The set is comprised of two prints by seperate artists – ‘Vade Retro Satana’ is by Aesthetic Apparatus and ‘The Last Leaf’ is by Cole Gerst.

I chose the set for ‘Vade Retro Satana’ because I love the patterns used, and the almost moire effect in the upper silver portion – Yeah! ‘The Last Leaf’ is nice too, don’t get me wrong. It’s the icing on the collector’s cake, maybe.. They’re an edition of 500 – Tiny Showcase only had 24 left when I ordered, so hopefully I made it in time.

Just made myself a new hat. I’m wearing it, and eating lasagne.

Great burgers, too. Cnr Chapel and Carlisle streets?? I can’t remember. From a spot on the corner of Carlisle and Barkly streets (Thanks Hesh).

Just remembered how much I want one of these – Maybe it’s time to start looking again..

That’s all I need. A fresh batch of home-brew..

AND

My new work table is almost finished. The top measures 1800mm x 1000mm and tilts to provide a comfortable printing surface. Here it’s in pieces, it’s getting a lick of paint before I use it. Some super-minimal white on the frame and a Polyurethane coat on the wooden top, to stop the water getting in.

It’s perhaps the most eagerly awaited studio addition to my studio – Everything feels close to complete now it’s here, I can’t wait to use it! Special thanks go to Jem and Laura of Like Butter and their newest employee Ben, for their hard work a fabricatin’.

Oftentimes collaborator and all-round nice guy Sam Haywood, along with yours truly have started a little film review blog called .05 Stars – The main concept being each film we review is watched drunk. The first review, of classic film The Dirty Dozen is up right now for your reading pleasure.
