"New Rave" Nick



Nick makes his own screen prints all by himself, they are actually some of my current favorite prints in the gallery and apparently one of them glows in the dark! He is also involved with the happy happy poster club who seem to be doing some interesting things. Check out his fun and filth.

Miss Led


Returning to the art of drawing and painting after a huge 8 year gap joanna henly’s alter ego, ‘miss led’ was conceived in may 2006 as a tentative platform and springboard to a more playful and whimsical style of expression. Awarded a business scholarship for ‘miss led’ in October 2006 joanna’s aim was to develop the role of artist/illustrator into a multi-disciplinary, legitimate, full-time profession. creating work either in the studio or on her dining room table, listening mostly to jazz, 70’s garage rock and film scores and drinking copious amounts of tea; ‘miss led’ is going from strength to strength and feeling pretty happy about her future.

Lucy Mclauchlan/ Beat 13


Well what can i say, we set the gallery up with these lovely folks so of coarse we stock all there products, prints, stickers, comics, planes, badges, T-shirts, bags, wrapping paper..
We also try to stock all of Lucy's prints but they do sell out pretty quick! On occasion , when all is quiet, the artist herself can be found lurking around the gallery. Do check us out as we get the occasional pre-release and sometimes have stock when there sold out online , plus ours are available in lovely frames.

Matt Robinson/Jinpow


Matt makes pictures that remind me of the bit in Akira when he grows massive tentacles and it all goes a bit mad, you can stare at them for hours. He's recently been making sculptures too, we have a few limited prints in the gallery and he's a busy boy so try to catch him at an exhibition near you.

If You Could...


We have a number of books, magazines and zines in, including the " If you could do anything tomorrow what would it be?" Postcard project featuring all your favorite artists and illustrators, issue 2 going to print as we speak.

Hong Kong


On a recent trip to Hong Kong i picked up these great chinese posters, some of the origonal chinese propaganda artwork which inspired the likes of Sheppard Fiarey of Obey/Giant fame, who's prints we also stock. I couldn't resist a pile of old Chinese Advert posters while i was there too, Limited stock as i could only bring back what would fit in my suitcase!
