A Letter in mind exhibition

I recently took part in 'A Letter in Mind' exhibition at the Oxo tower gallery in London. Artists were invited to create their piece using only a simple white envelope and the title 'A letter in mind' as a starting point. There was a huge variety of responses, and some well known names involved, including Grayson Perry and Chris Haughton. Works were exhibited anonomously and then auctioned off in aid of the National Brain appeal, with the name of the artist only revealed once a purchase had been made. For my piece I used the address of the National Brain appeal which I broke down and fully illustrated on the front - I then sent the piece directly through the mail, hoping it arrived unscathed - luckily it did! You can see the full range of artworks on this link.

Secret 7" artwork





















Following on from last year, Secret 7" is back but in a slightly different format... The idea is the same - artists and designers are asked to design Seven inch record sleeves for one of seven tracks. The name of the artist or track must not appear on the artwork, hence the 'secret' part. This year's list includes tracks by Nick Drake, Laura Marling, Nas, Jessie Ware and Haim. All submissions can be seen on the Talenthouse website, where people can vote for their favourites...The top 50 in each category will be exhibited at Mother Ad agency, and then auctioned for the charity 'Art Against Knives'. Here is my artwork for Nick Drake's 'Rider on the Wheel' and you can vote for it here. Please vote if you like my image (or even if you don't)! Thank you kindly.
