In other news, Steph has just returned from Ink Spot with another limited edition print hot off the press. Titled Obama (Black and Gold), it’s a striking screenprint of the U.S. president and a nod to his ongoing wrangle with BP and the environmental disaster their oil spill has caused. Limited to 10 prints, it’s available from our Shop page and Art Republic.

The good souls at Marwood Studios have invited us to exhibit some Bonnie and Clyde prints in their awesome coffee shop in Brighton. Being devoted fans of their kick-ass coffee, mouth-watering ginger cake and funky DIY decor, we couldn’t say no.
As regulars will know, the walls usually include a mix of original art, weird memorabilia and random bric-a-brac - so keep an eye out for our prints above the dummy legs and ancient gilded frames!

Inspired by the Diane Arbus exhibition in spring, we made a trip to Bexhill-on-Sea this week to check out Antony Gormley’s Another Place. Installed on the top floor of the De La Warr Pavilion, the exhibition makes for eerie viewing. Whilst his life-size sculptures on Crosby Beach are identical and all facing towards the sea, the figures in Another Place are curled, crouched and sat in various positions. Some look as if they’re daydreaming whilst others look like they’re in pain or discomfort, balancing forwards on their knees or stomachs. The magical thing about the location is it allows visitors to get up close to the sculptures and study them. We even laid down next to some and no-one batted an eyelid!

We made a special trip to Edinburgh this month to see the fantastic Diane Arbus exhibition at the Dean Gallery. Part of the Artists Rooms series, it’s a compelling exhibition that features several rooms of the late American photographer’s work. Alongside classic black and white shots like Young Man and his Pregnant Wife in Washington Square Park, there’s some compelling editorial work for various broadsheets and magazines. Our favourites were the quietly provocative shots of freak show performers and nudists - who Arbus clearly felt an affinity with.
Admission is free and the exhibition runs until mid June.
Whilst you’re at the Dean Gallery, check out Nathan Coley’s awesome installation There Will Be No Miracles Here. Originally exhibited as part of the 2007 Turner Prize at TATE Liverpool, it’s now housed in the lush, landscaped park surrounding the gallery.

This month we were invited to join online gallery and print shop Design Supremo. Run by lovely graphic designer Ben Dodgson, they sell fab, limited edition screen prints and giclee prints. Artists include Hello Marine, Popcorny, Transmission and Hutch. We’re particularly smitten by the incredibly detailed Airport and Public Bath prints by Japanese artist Natsko Seki.

Happy New Year!
We couldn’t think of a better way to kick-start 2010 than a long walk on the beach dressed in winter woolies. When we sat down by the West Pier however, we found a wondrous collection of Little People hidden amidst the pebbles and beer tops. We’re not sure who painted them or when they left them but we counted five or six different faces looking up at us.
If you tread carefully, you might find they’re still there....
