goodbye extended play...

My big news right now is that this is the very last week of Extended Play; our little gallery and studio in Northcote. Our one year lease comes to an end in June and we will be wrapping it all up. I can seriously say that for moments it has been one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done; nice people, great art and an opening night party once a month is an excellent way to pass the time. If I didn't have anything else to keep me busy running a little gallery would certainly be something I'd pursue. However, I do have lots of other adventures I want to embark on so I'm saying goodbye to this one. Fun was certainly had in the Flatlands of Northcote...

Our next show opens this week at Extended Play Gallery! It's an exhibition of paintings by Melbourne artist Benjamin Johnson and it's going to be super fun. The opening night is:

Swing by for a drink if you are in the area.

I'm trying to be a bit more professional and start stretching my watercolour paper. The process is not going too well.

I have no pictures either. What an exciting post this one is.

I have exactly four weeks until my next solo exhibition opens and as usual I'm doing battle with the art monster to get the right pictures to appear. I'm thinking of calling the show Somersaults and Strange Company. 

Oh, actually I do have a picture. It has something to do with the fact that I am currently sitting in the studio surrounded by mounds of pink and green sand. Thanks to our next group of excellent artists Extended Play gallery is evolving into an alien ecosystem for the month of February...

Just a reminder that the Extended Play pop-up shop opens its doors once again this Saturday. There are lots of great pieces in stock, including some precious little originals from Lilly Piri (pictured below) and Heiko that were delivered this week all the way from Germany.

new artists at extended play...

My lovely friend Ben who runs a great website called I Vote For Art has agreed to sell some of his artists prints through the Extended Play pop-up shop over summer. Which is excellent news because now we have some of my favourite artists hanging on the walls, including...
