Poo tin post cards

A few weeks ago , Russia invaded Ukraine. Shocked and dismayed with close friends inside the country…Of course my reaction was to make a poxy stencil and paint it somewhere. Well? what else would i do? A close friend Dr D saw my post on instagram and asked if he could use the images for a postcard run he was going to do with The Duck Pond Market which are available online.

Thinking we could raise a little bit more for each card Dr D came up with the idea of making some special editions that could be sold separately to raise more funds. There are 80 hand made postcards at £5. With 7 special collectors packs at £20. 100% of the proceeds will go to charities supporting Ukraine. You can buy them here

Dr D and i have done some work on the back.
special collectors edition one off card, stay free patch, austere card and sticker
special edition of 7 each with a dot portrait on the back of the card (lucky dip)

If you want the artwork to cut a stencil yourself and decorate your local parks Poo tin you can mail putin@dotmaster.co.uk and the reply will have links to artwork you can down load and print and cut yourselves . Remember kids NO one is going to give you grief for painting these on dog poo bins !

SOLD OUT! Thanks everyone raised nearly 800 !

Lockdown…The show…(Kinda)

With street art and gallery shows officially cancelled in the 2020 lockdowns, I’m producing an online show. It’s a multi-media mix of website content, online show and a printed limited edition catalogue that includes inserts, free gifts, original work and a new limited sticker edition.

The show was conceived and made in lockdown. All works are experiments with modern materials and utilise modern technologies, electricity and light. Many of them are boxed, locked down, capturing rude kid acts of disobedience, vandalism and joy.


The show will be launched by a series of promotions over the course of a week from the 19th of November, culminating on the 26th with a live broadcast from a secret shop front location in South Kensington, London and online catalogue launch.

It’s all a bit of an experiment a bit like the work i’ve made, but hopefully there is something that catches your eye. I’m really excited about the Magazine it’s been a long time since i’ve made a publication. For this one i am collaborating with long time collaborator Amber Stoddart who designed my first publication D.I.Y Survival 12 years ago.

There will be a chance of commissioning a bespoke original dot to dot by Dot portrait in the magazine as well as lots of extra inserts and exclusive works made just for it.

There’s a lot to look out for this locked down November, stay tuned for updates

Lockdown worx

Thankfully a couple of years ago we built a studio in the back garden, so when the news came of the Lockdown my work suffered less than many in the UK. i could still make stuff, but the thought of making a show that would probably not be seen, left me having to reevaluate what to make in these uncertain times. I settled on a series of experimental works using the motif of a kid painting smiles on well loved works of art. It kind of made sense to have these three rude kid characters , Astrid, Indigo and Edgar painting, stuck indoors like the rest of us.

I am sure i was not alone in taking to the bottle during lockdown. The news and social media streams confirmed it. During the drunken haze that was the first few weeks that included my wedding anniversary we were sent a two bottle box of wine to help us celebrate. The box was just too cute to throw away.

I didn’t want to do something 2d or canvas based, and with my only 3d gig Glastonbury cancelled (i am the art director Unfairground) i thought i’d try and make these little boxes into stage sets where i could pop these three naughty children and up cycle this little wooden box.

Each box has its own RGB remote control so that the lights can change to whatever colour you require, there are preset programs with fading , jumping and flashing between different colours. The back panel is laser cut wallpaper out of birch ply, The frames are 24k gold leaf. I will be making a small edition of each light. Video of them working to follow.

Excited by these cute little lamp works I’ve also made some larger scale wall based works, at the time of writing this only one is finished and i will be posting some more updates as they are finished. The below version has interchangeable works that you can swap out depending on your mood.

These will be one off works, still no idea how to show them, where they will be available. hopefully work that out when they are all finished. To get your name on a waiting list for the Lockdown wine boxes email seesix at gmail with the subject Lockdown wine box

The title of the show dictated the look and feel of the works, with gold, silver and glitter making it a christmas bauble of a show. Spray paint was mixed with Verre Eglomise and traditional gilding techniques in a modern day/1750’s mash up of gold leaf and spray paint.

Trash n’ Cash 13th -29th

Dotmasters_TrashCash_note_combo

It’s been a lock down autumn preparing for shows in London this month and Miami the next. Plans for the show started in the spring, and over the last few months i got to know the gallery and area. Its a fun pop art gallery in the centre of Marylebone, I used to work in a sandwich cafe down the road when i first left school many years ago. Since then it’s become a well heeled W1 address, the Chiltern firehouse down the road a hot spot for London’s celebrity nightlife. It’s certainly a different location to the place i used to know.

trash_neon

With that in mind the title Trash n Cash seemed apt. Big bucks, black bags and swearing kids on found objects, neon and real hard cash. A list branded trash bags, backed by damask drapes and a theme of defaced currency very much a show for W1.

Dotmasters_TrashCash_19

The show is open till the 29th of November, there’s a little something for everyone with a limited edition set of tee shirts, modelled below by Miss Sophie Hermann, with print details below
