Went to Pure Evil Gallery last night for the opening of Copyright: Pop Lives, Pagan Hearts. The exhibition runs from the 23rd November – 2nd December 2012, and showcases a brand new collection of original works from artist Copyright. The show features 2D and 3D works on wood, new limited editions and experimental installation pieces.

Pop Lives, Pagan Hearts is Copyrights 2012 solo show and sees him exploring the pop elements of his work the bright colours and repetition, but combining this with mythological narratives at the same time.

Caught up with Copyright during the show

Caught up with him during the show, and (as always) that was an absolute pleasure. Sorry about the quality of the photos tho chap.

The show is curated by Newcastle based Zero Cool Gallery, their second show in a week, so congratulations also to Anthony for all the hard work - it paid off.

Congratulations also to Charlie from Pure Evil Gallery, who was unable to attend the opening due to the arrival of his baby daughter Bunny.

Zero Cool show Cranio at Red Bull Studio

Went to the opening of Cranio 'Lost in London' last night. Not as big as the shows Zero Cool usually host there, but a great show none the less. Got to meet Fabio Oliveira aka Cranio, a lovely artist from Brazil having his first show here, and had a quality night.

Just thought I'd start this one off with the highlight, and roll out pics and stories out afterward.
Highlight: Catching up with our graf hero C215, grabbing a pic with him, chucking it up on FaceBook, and him liking it. Awesome.

Not sure who's piece this was, but it was great 

ROA - Canis (dog) 

Risk - On the roof again

Joe Black - Workers of the world unite!

I saw what I thought was this piece a few years ago at Moniker, 

but the date on this one was 2012, so guess it must be a new one.

Still love it though - great concept and execution, a powerful piece.
