Here’s a quick recap of some of the work that graced the walls during the first phase of the exhibition. Time and tide have done their usual trick of not hanging about which means that the second phase is only around for another 2 weeks! Our big changeover day is Sunday 19th of June so make sure you get in before it’s too late.
On a slightly different note – whilst putting this gallery together, Dan and I have decided a proper archive of all the artists involved in BLC is in order. So we’re (slowly but surely) collating all of this information which will be presented on this site via an “Artists” section. You’ll be able to read and see more from all the artists who have made the exhibition as great as it is.
Here’s his version of the Cardiff Coat of Arms which is outstanding and Pete Fowler classic. This man has been bringing us his unique style of Illustration for many years and always seems to produce top class pieces.
Take a look at his website and prepare to be amazed. monsterism.net
