'Do Look Down' Solo Show 29 / 04 / 13

My debut solo show at London West Bank Gallery has now been announced and you can read more about it here and check out the Facebook event page here!

 

And Hello to Artfinder 28 / 02 / 13

I promise there'll be more substantial news about my London solo show soon but in the meantime, my little characters continue to find themselves on new websites and the most recent is the classy Artfinder site. It's a great site unto itself and there's a lot of great artists on there, simply too many to list, so take a gander yourself if you're curious!

 

DeLaMain Hello08 / 02 / 13

I'm happy and proud to announce that I am now associated and a part of the classy DeLaMain collective, who represent a number of fantastic artists. Besides myself, I recommend you check out Craww, David Walker , Joseph Loughborough , Mr Jago , Pam Glew and, last but not least, longtime sprayer in arms Snik. Not a bad list, that!

 

Verbs and a Solo Show01 / 02 / 13

It's a fresh new year and things are in the pipeline! The biggest news is that I have a London solo show confirmed for the 6th of June. The show is titled 'Do Look Down' and will be held at the London West Bank Gallery in Notting Hill. More details will be released in good time and if you want to be the first to know about new news, sign up to the carrier pigeon list on the Contact page and / or find me on Facebook.

The other new thing is a spoken word video I put together today, titled 'Our Verbs', which you can find on the Films here on the site. Burp.

 

Cracking Tile12 / 12 / 12

After a few interested and enthusiastic emails, I have released 'Stop, Sledgehammer Time!' as a small edition of ten. Mounted on some tasty perspex, each of these tiles has a unique crack. This release has been made via the fantastic guys at StreetArt.nl and, if you're so inclined to pick one up, will be despatched by them too.

 

Remembrance10 / 11 / 12

With my first real piece on the streets in a while, I wanted to dedicate it to those who have given their lives protecting what they love. This little scene was inspired by a friend's poem, 'Rest In Peace?' by Ben Reiss, which you can read below...

Requiescat in pace they say,
Requiescat in pace.
Easy to say when it’s in bed that you lay
and you’ve actually got skin on your face.

If you’re slumped by a gun
(Which is broken and stuck)
And glowing all white in the sun,
Then it’s hard to see much peace in the muck,

When it’s your skull that leers at the Hun.

 

The City's Lighthouse24 / 10 / 12

I don't know how I've not painted it before now but 'Trafficking Lights' is the first time I've ever cut and painted a traffic light. There's definitely a lot of fun to be had with it in the future...

 

A Gaze17 / 10 / 12

This week's painting is 'Without Masters', paying homage to Jack Vettriano's work, who I am very much a fan of. And who knew Vettriano was from Scotland, eh? No offense to the Scottish amongst you but his paintings, at least to me, are too positive to have come from north of the border, haha.

 

A Devilishly Wide Print06 / 10 / 12

The latest addition to the store is the 'And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore' screen print edition, my second ever only screen print. I won't repeat myself, so if you're interested in the print, head to the Store and read all about it, as well as see a slew of photos of the chaotic mob!

 

I Predict A Riot18 / 09 / 12

It is with great pleasure I introduce to you 'And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore ', a sprawling scene of chaos and indulgence. I also created a video during the process of cutting and painting the piece, which I think many of you will find interesting.

A much more affordable screen print of the piece will be able in a couple weeks and to be the first to hear about it's release, sign up to the carrier pigeon list on the Contact page.

 

Some Glowing Metal15 / 08 / 12

As you might see to your left right now, I've been having some fun with glow-in-the-dark materials. The 'On Fire Exit' Sign has been painted on a solid piece of aluminium and will glow surprisingly well at night or in a dark environment.

There's more exciting work in progress and to keep abreast of new releases, put yourself down for a carrier pigeon on the Contact page.

 

A Fort in the Night01 / 08 / 12

Two weeks have now passed since I turned full-time artist and things are going great. I have been kept very busy, both with new releases in the Store, as well as with commissions. I hope to be hitting the street a little more once I've settled into this all and really have some fun. A massive thank you to everyone that has been supporting me, it genuinely means so much to me.

 

Lick of Fresh Paint19 / 07 / 12

Welcome to the new Pahnl site! It's so fresh, the spray paint dust is still drifting through the air and settling on the ground. The entire website has been given an overhaul to make things easier and clearer to use. In particular, the Store has been given a facelift.

Speaking of which, you'll find a range of new paintings available for purchase in the Store. The new 20cm square canvases are all available for £35 each, or, if you add three or more of these canvases to your cart, the price of each painting is brought down to £25 under the Collector's Cut offer.

Anyway, I hope to be bringing plenty of tasty on and off street work to you on a much more regular basis now, as I've made the jump into working as a full-time artist. If you want to keep abreast of new releases in the Store, please sign up to the Carrier Pigeon List for updates. Those who had signed up before the site's overhaul will still be on the list, so not to worry.

Time to go chasing!

 

A Toy18 / 05 / 12

Looking at the post dates on this page really reveal how bad I'm at keeping it updated, haha. It's often better to find me on Facebook if you wish to keep abreast of news.

But I digress! I recently produced and released my very own urban vinyl toy (although, technically, it's resin) and you can find out more by heading here. It took a ridiculous amount of planning, work and mistakes, so I hope you enjoy seeing the toy's process in the film I dilligently shot from above throughout the whole ordeal.

 

Those New Nights06 / 07 / 11

A new set of prints, titled 'The Night Series' (a working title for the folder the artwork occupied that later became their formal title), are now available for preorder on the Store page, which will be despatched on the 15th of August. This series plays with light and perspective more than my work is typically accustomed to and I intend this to be a sign of things to come...
