Busy busy busy end to May getting everything ready for the Bristol Design Festival. As well as being proud supporters of the festival we were not only exhibiting, but entering 2 entries into the Grafikea competition! big love for the BDF!
The exhibition was on from the 5th - 11th June at the old fire station here in the heart of Bristol. We had a really good response so thanks to all of you who wrote in the comment book and enjoyed the constant supply of MAOAM sweets!
So next up our Grafikea entries! firstly the "jigsaw" inspired by a, well jigsaw. This was a tongue and cheek spin on ikea's famous flat - pack - furniture. my lifes a jigsaw........ tune is now haunting all those poor BDF folk! that was the theme tune to the film we put together of the making of the table. somebody must have liked the film so much they decided to steal the laptop playing it! bad form thief.
Second entry was "tablego" an ikea table with a pixel art splattering of lego. lots of lego, lots of glue, and lots of patience.
Here's a few piccies of the Grafikea tables.
Last week we woke up to find our favourite local artist that pesky Banksy had taken over the Bristol Museum. His largest ever UK exhibition had been unveiled as a top secret plot on the usually conventional museum. At the white balance we are massive Banksy fans - especially our northern leanne! Banksy was actually one the reasons "for" moving to Bristol - some say fan, some might say stalker. As u can imagine we were very excited to get down and see what all the fuss was about! we queued for an hour behind a family in chordory and "explore Bristol maps" - not the expected Banksy fan, but hey who are we to judge! there was a massive turn out of all sorts of art lovers - just shows what diversity Banksy has pulled in!
We were not disappointed! amazing - over 100 new Banksy pieces.
here are a few snaps from the exhibition.....
