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!
