Exhibition Photos!

GOOD GRIEF! GROUP SHOW! opened Wednesday 16th June 2010. It's ongoing til Thursday 24th June at the Art Corner in Fallowfield, Manchester. Look it up! Open 10am-6pm, if the gallery ain't open then ask the bar at Trof for the key.

Anyway, here's some pikachus of how it turned out. I was beyond bowled over with how everyone made it look and how glorious everyone's work was, I knew it was already but now I REALLY know it. Check it...

There is an exhibition catalogue that was doing the rounds, the first run of 30 got snaffled at the opening but I shall be making some more. Check the shop in a week or so. More than thanks go to Dylan, Faye, Jess, "John", Lucy and Rebecca. NICE ONE!!!!!!!!!!! Lets do it again sometime, maybe at the Tate Malvern or the Britney Museum?

Good Grief! Group Show!

I am tres pumped to announce the above exhibition which is happening at The Art Corner (above Trof/The Corner, Fallowfield, 424ish Wilmslow Rd, Manchester) from Wednesday June 16th. It's a pick of Good Grief's very favouritest illustrating artists illustrating in Manchester right about NOW. They are...

LUCY JONES!

FAYE JOHNSON!

DYLAN HUGHES!

JESS HIGGINS!

REBECCA CROMPTON!

JOHN BUTCHER!

DAVID BAILEY!

Well, I'm not picking myself as one of my favouritest illustrating artists, I'm just there because I wanted to rub shoulders with the illustrati. You should check out all the peoples involved because they're all boss. Click them names.

Come on down if you're in town to the preview night on Wednesday 16 June. There'll be comfortable on a turntable dj'ing from Beat Unhappening and drinks from a box. It runs from 7.30pm til midnight, your attendance would be fabulous. If you can't make it then please make it down one day between 10am - 6pm, all the way til it comes down on the 24th. 

Very excited.

Molly O'Connell

Molly O'Connell is cool. See above for the proof AND THEN SOME! Totally epic part-screenprinted part-photocopied mammoth format book (11x17" I think) on heavy paper and perfect bound, almost too perfect. The drawings are line heavy, when you first see some pages they're immediately pleasing abstract mounds but then you pick out elegant forms and details of bodies and dancing and loads more. Molly's from Baltimore and the book is called PREGUNTAS, it's going for £12. Act fast because there's only one copy left. The same goes for the t-shirt below...

Molly's bringin' lilac back! Be one of probably only three UK-based legends (you will never meet anyone wearing this same shirt, and if you do I'll give you your money back) to sport this beautiful screenprinted shirt. £12

If you can't get to the shop, get to the online shop. Not that you can buy either of these Molly O'Connells there but still - plenty o' good stuff!

Check back over the next one or two days for exciting news on a Good Grief! curated exhibition happening in Manchester on June 14th!

Real Horror Show exhibition

All hear this, it's your man Late Notice here, I implore you to attend the Real Horror Show exhibition happening at Islington Mill, Salford. An exhibition of prints by not one, but TWO, of Good Grief's favourite sons. John Butcher and SAVWO. Their work will be on display alongside two other artists' work that I've not yet known but look forward to glazzying, A.G. Magee and S.J. Hockett. Ignore the dates on the poster above, it opens tomorrow night (21st) 6pm-10pm and then there's live screenprinting on Saturday from 1pm-5pm and then the exhibition probably runs til Thursday or something. Check in with Islington Mill for more details on opening times and such.
