Postcard Auction
A chance to buy an original 3D drawing for a steal, and support future artists in the process. Love from Lincoln is fund-raising for the degree show this year. It’s approximately A6 and comes flat pack to be slotted together.

New Editions
To accompany the MAKE SHIFT exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture park, I have made two limited edition works for sale there (have a look on their website soon!).
Egg is a cast plaster work in an edition of 21 and is priced £120. It’s roughly 3 inches high and comes safely packed in a small wooden box.
If I can’t see you, you can’t see me is a four-colour screen print on balsa wood and grey board. Also an edition of 21, this is priced at £70 unframed and there are also two framed prints available at £110.
Drawing Shed animation
Here it is finally; the resulting animation from the drawing I did at PSL in August. It clearly has issues, like some wobbles, focus and other things, but as a first attempt I am going to try and let those things go and just enjoy the destruction.
Drawing Shed week 5: Emily Speed
There are also some images of the project and collaborative drawing evening at PSL on their Drawing Shed blog
Drawing Shed @ PSL
Looking forward to taking part in this at Project Space Leeds in August. If you’re in the area do come and say hi or take part in the late night event on Thursday 12th.. 
here’s the blurb: Emily Speed will create a cyclic drawing on the exterior of the shed over 4 days. Starting with proposals/sketches for structures – reminiscent of bulidings – which are prevalent in her work, Speed will then explore the physical impossibilities of these structures and the drawing will change to show construction, collapse and repair before perhaps collapsing again.

The A Curriculum exhibition at A Foundation had it’s opening last Friday and happily the Director liked it so much, he has decided to extend it to be open Fridays and Saturdays until 22nd May, alongside the ‘Economy of the Gift exhibition there, so please go down and have a look if you can!
Lost at Sea second edition available
It is finally done – 88 copies of a second edition are available (actually, more like 60 as some have gone already), with an extra screen printed inner to make it a bit more special. £7 from me and at Lancashire Zine, Artists’ Books and Multiples Fair in January, add £2 for post and packing otherwise.
Drawing
An exhibition opens here at the Salzamt on Friday 24th July. Most artists have bought work with them, but limited by Ryanair’s measly 15kg allowance and the fact that most of my work is squashable, I have nothing with me to show. This goes a long way to explaining the mess I have made in my studio frantically shredding cardboard and going through much paper as I make and reject drawings. Still it is good to be making lots and to be drawing so much. The space I will be using to show is a lovely little niche and images will follow of the show set up when I have settled on some suitable work. In the meantime, I also want to stress the joy and usefulness of having a 7ft pin board in your studio – fantastic stuff!
DRAWN IN
Happily settled in my new studio space, I am working on some new drawings to go in an exhibition at the Lost Soul and Stranger Service Station (also known as the Old Barber Shop) at the Bluecoat in Liverpool.
The exhibition is open from 21st May – 19th June and the opening is on the 21st May from 6pm onwards. Venue can be found here.
DRAWN IN
I will have some work in the upcoming DRAWN IN exhibition at The Lost Soul and Stranger Service Station gallery next to the Bluecoat. The show is based around artists who look at drawing in an alternative way somehow. More information to follow when I know some!
Another book
I am a veritable book factory at the moment. The drawings for this one; Places for Hiding have been around for a long time, but have always needed putting into a book. Places for Thinking and Places for Shelter in progress…
