Pick Me Up 2012 - Kibbo Kift III and Heavy Pencil

Pick Me Up is back at Somerset house and so am I playing some musical music and doing a bit of live drawing.

First up is Supermundane's Kibbo Kift featuring a whole load of illustrator people performing poems and songs! The last two Kibbo Kift's have been awesome so it will be nice to take it to a new and grander venue. Should be a great evening featuring all of the above. I am excited. It's on the 22nd March from 6:30 until 9:30pm. Tickets can be bought here LINK

The following thursday eve I will be back amongst another whole load of talented people. I will be playing songs in a band featuring the mighty Andrew Rae, the stupendous Jim Stoten and the powerhouse that is Owen Gildersleeves. More Info below.

Thursday 29th March Heavy Pencil at Pick Me Up

As well as the Thursday events I will have my Heart Limited Edition Snake tee for sale in the Pick me Up shop. There's always some great stuff to see and do at Pick Me Up. I for one am particularly excited about seeing Peepshow's Museum of Objects & Origins.

K.K.II + Lmnop Q&A (The Alphabet post)

This saturday sees the second Kibbo Kift event held at The Victoria in Dalston in London. It is a night of musical music spoken spoken word all done by people who normally draw instead of these things. I will be playing some hastily made up songs and then watching proper bands Glow Wing and Fever Dream show me how it's meant to be done. The night is organised by the whirlwind that is Supermundane and features Will Edmonds and Nic Burrows (two thirds of Nous Vous) as well as Sarah Lippett (half of Crayon Legs) and Adrian Fleet (100% percent of Adrian Fleet). There will be a set of limited edition postcards by the performers and a badge for the first 100 hundred peoples.

More info here but not here. Do come it'll be fun.

In more work related news I did a Q & A with the fine people over at the LMNOP Shop who have a lovely shop in Brighton and great online one too. If you want to hear me chat about collecting, artists that I like and other ramblings head here but not here and definitely not here or here.

KIBBO KIFT!

This blog seems to have turned into just one long running advertisement for events that I am taking part in. And so here I advertise that this saturday I will be taking part in KIBBO KIFT a night organised by Supermundane where people who normally draw for a living will be performing spoken word and music what they made up. I am performing with Mr Andrew Rae and Mr Owen Gildersleeve, playing a few of my songs and a few of andrew's songs while Owen makes us sound like a real band by playing the drums in a loud manner. Tickets include a free limited edition zine featuring all involved, a cd and a kibbo kift badge. More info here.
