Upcoming ... Exhibitions You Shouldn't Miss

3:20 
Showcasing the works of painter Conrad Johnson. 
Where: Out West. W1D 3AS. New venue We Are Cuts
When: This Thursday. 24th February 7pm
//Conrad is an amazing painter, and an amazing guy at that. For someone quite humble and quiet, he's got some great things to shout about. He was also part of the 2010 Bicycle Film Festival Joyride Art Show. His acrylic on canvas painting of Jesus holding a cog was one of the best pieces in the show. We wonder what he has in store for 3:20 //

 The Stuff of Dreams / A Collection of Taxidermy Textiles
Where: Jaguar Shoes, Kingsland Rd
When: Thurs 10th March 7pm
 
 Lilli and Jazmine team up for the next Jaguar Shoes show. Recently the venue has been showing some great works (previously Arran Gregory's FORREST where he had some cut-down logs for visitors to sit on).
We look forward to seeing this show!

Jaybo

Has a new site. We all know how tough it is to get a new website going, to make it represent you and your work correctly and to keep all that running and updated.
Well Berlin-based artist Jaybo has done just that.

See more here or keep updated with the rest here.

There is an extensive interview with Jaybo in Issue 003 of Champfest. Grab your copy now while you still can. Featured also are images of his newest works. Always impressed...
