Holy Posters

Make a Wish

Acrylic on canvas

I like the holy posters they have on the noticeboards outside the church, I think it would be cool to have more holy posters, maybe in the underground and on buses and billboards and even in people's windows. Yeah, I think its time to roll up those giant pouting babe posters. If the men miss them then they can just get a life or get a wife and also women can chill out and stop worrying about achieving maximum hotness all the time. Just need someone to sponsor holy posters...  

Alternative Press Festival 2011

The Alternative Press Fair is going international this year so its set to be bigger than ever! The fair will be part of the International Alternative Press Festival which runs from 27th May- 13th June and will include a programme of workshops, exhibitions and other happenings. Walrus will be at the zine fair on the 28th and 29th May in Conway Hall, Holborn. Above is a poster I did for it, www.alternativepress.org.uk for more details. 

Walrus at the Zine Symposium 2011

The Rag Factory was packed out with zinesters and supporters of the self publishing world today as the venue played host to the annual London Zine Symposium. It was really crowded for most of the day but after a few rounds of shuffling around we discovered some exciting new zines/zine makers. There were some cool zines made by the ladies at the Nest Gallery and also some fun books made by Girls who Draw, our table neighbour. Our most exciting find of the day were a bunch of publications from a group called Other Asias, they work with artists internationally to make radical zines/art/productions about Asian political and social issues, a current project of theirs is Redo Pakistan, their website describes what they do much better www.otherasias.webnode.com. Looking forward to the International Alternative Press Festival now!

Artistic Jihad Exhibition

Yesterday was the launch of the Artistic Jihad exhibition in which the work of 20 young Muslim artists is being displayed. The exhibition is the result of a FOSIS art competition and includes paintings, photography and sculpture. Two of my painting were amongst the works selected, above is a picture of some people hanging out near them. The show is in a small gallery space in St. Martins School of Art and Design (near the SU) and is on until April 15th, after that I think the exhibition is going to a few other cities around England.
