My first gallery exhibition!

Okay team,

I have a LOT to catch you up on!


I'll try and speed through as quick as poss, everything has changed since we last spoke! Everything from my socks to my artistic style. We have moved forwards guys!


Right, so a while ago I was offered a chance to exhibit my work at the prestigious North Street Gallery located in Ashburton!

A wonderful duo named Emily and Chris found me at the Plymouth College of Art summer show 2015. (Yes I know what you are thinking, Jack that was 87 years ago and you are very far behind! You are not wrong!)

They were hosting a best in show event for some of the students at PCA, I was lucky enough to get chosen.

Now I want to throw in a little disclaimer, I went on to have 2 more shows at the same gallery, so I will talk about all of them here. The below photos show me at my first gallery show where I got to co exhibit with the amazing Lee Hodges 
SPEEDING forward...

Here are some photos of the evening!





There was a lot of tweed going on!


And here is another of me at the following event (the best in show student version!)




Not much changed, my beard got a little shorter?



My third and final show was something special, I was invited to come back as part of a collabrative event which featured EVERYONE who had exhibited at North Street over the last year or so!

The collective theme was "Dogs", perfect!

I did not manage to capture many photos of the evening as I became far too involved with the prosecco that was doing the rounds. I did manage to get a pre gallery print shot of my image though!

I call it, the Scurvvy Doggs!
(I also spell that differently every time I write it!)







To conclude,

The guys at North Street Gallery now turned Joy Therapy  are amazing people, they made me feel incredibly welcome whilst I exhibited there. The Ashburton family are amazing, was great to be a part of something awesome!
