Misfits and Miscreants

All artworks are limited edition, highest quality giclee prints, available both framed and unframed at the exhibition and also available to buy unframed from my online shop
It's finally up! After nine months of frantic scribbling, late night colouring and numerous dramatic meltdowns, my first solo exhibition has been hung and is open for all to see. 

It's being held at The Haberdashery in Crouch End*, which was voted London's Best Coffee Shop last year is one of my favourite places to spend a quiet Sunday morning. I can also highly recommend one of their incredible mochas as the perfect accompaniment to your illustration-admiring activities. 

I'm not sure that my love for The Haberdashery is entirely reciprocated, not after yesterday's marathon hanging session, during which the poor staff and customers were subjected to 2 1/2 hours of enthusiastic hammering, interspersed with tedious discussions about height and spacing. Not to mention all the prints, bags, bubble wrap and general detritus strewn about the place. 

Yup, you're right, that is rather a lot of photographs of Alex putting up pieces of wood, some might say too many. Also I am being helpful, I know it looks like I'm just standing around holding coffee, but I can assure you all, my input was vital. Ahem.

Luckily they were very patient and bore with the disruption until at last, the final nail was in and the pictures in place. 

Now all that's left is for all you lovely people to come and see it! There's a special opening evening on Thursday evening (November 14th 18:030 - 20:30), where there will be wine and music and things. I'll be there trying not to look too awkward, so please come over and have a chat. 

If you can't make Thursday, then the show will be up until Sunday 8th December (perfect for Christmas shopping, no?!). For those of you who live too far away, are allergic to North London or who simply refuse to leave the house during the winter months, you can also buy my prints, tote bags and colouring books online from my online shop.

Hopefully see you on Thursday!

* I know that Crouch End isn't on a tube line and that consequentially Londoners are very reluctant to venture there, but seriously, the mochas are THAT good. Also it's genuinely very easy to get to, just a 7 min bus ride on the W7 from Finsbury Park. It'll be worth it, I promise!
