In October i’ll be one of the artists taking part in The Joyful Bewilderment show at the Rough Trade East Gallery on Brick Lane. It should be an amazing show with new work from over 100 like minded image-makers from all over the world who all share a strong craft based aesthetic and compulsion to create.

There are some people who are a little more known like James Jarvis, Lucy Mclauchlan, Stefan Marx, Josh Petherick and Andy Jenkins, but all of the artists here are well established in their given fields and you’ll certainly  know a lot of their names. Each will be showing a single piece of work, and as far as I know, they’ll all be for sale.

The show is the hard work of four good people who are doing something pretty special here (especially when you look at the list of people taking part) all for the love of it; Simon Peplow, Marcus Oakley, Lawrence Roper and Holly Wales will also feature in the show themselves.

I’m still finishing my piece, which is in progress, but it will get there…

The show will run from 2nd until the 27th of October with plans to tour later in the year. You should try to make it to the private view on the 2nd of October from 7 until 12, with live musical accompaniment from Einstellung
