1Ulster Museum Tags not Labels - demonstration
16th December 2011
Areas: making of paintings sketches street art
Last weekend I was invited to do a street art demonstration in the Ulster Museum as part of the opening of Victoria and Albert Museum, London touring exhibition of Street Art and Tags not Labels.
I named the demonstration “Something out of nothing” as I like to create characters out of commonplace things. In this instance I liked the idea of creating something from the shape of a few clouds.
Below I’ve included some sketches, photos and a time-lapse video of the final piece ‘cloud monkey’.
Ulster Museum Tags not Labels - proposal
9th December 2011
Areas: making of paintings prints sketches street art
A few months ago I sent in a proposal to do some street art in the Ulster Museum to accompany the opening of Victoria and Albert Museum, London touring exhibition of Street Art - showcasing the work of some of the biggest artists in the street art community such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Sickboy, Pure Evil and D*Face.
The Ulster Museum was looking to showcase four of Belfast’s local street art talent in an exhibition called Tags not Labels. Whilst I wasn’t selected as one of the main four artists I was given the awesome opportunity to do some live painting in the Ulster Museum on the opening night.
Below I’ve included some sketches and the final piece for the proposal to give you an idea of the process.
Ulster Museum Tags not Labels - opening night

Areas: exhibitions making of paintings sketches street art
Last night I was doing some live street art in the Ulster Museum as part of the opening of Victoria and Albert Museum, London touring exhibition of Street Art and Tags not Labels an exhibition showcasing selected local artists Fritz, KVLR, DOC and Lucas through large gallery installations alongside photographs of art in Belfast’s urban landscape.
As last night was a closed exhibition I’ll be doing another demonstration this Saturday at the Ulster Museum from 1pm till 4pm that is open to everyone and is free.
I’ve named the demonstration “Something out of nothing” as I will be revealing my approach of manipulating existing artwork to transform it into something new. I hope to see you there.
Below I’ve included some sketches and photos of the final piece ‘dead on’.

Areas: for sale paintings prints sketches street art
This Sunday (11th December) from 12 noon, I’ll be selling some of my artwork at ‘Belfast's best-loved alternative craft market’ the Xmas Black Box Bazaar.
The market will be held in the Black Box (18 - 22 Hill Street, Belfast, BT1 2LA) and is looking to be a real corker.
I’ll be selling a bunch of lovely things on the day and so To give you a feel of what you can expect I’ve been posting some photos along with prices over the past few days.
If you missed my last two posts about the comics, ‘say what you like’ and sketchbook A6 greeting cards that I will be selling at the Black Box Bazaar you can click on the following links:

The last items that I will be selling are my gilcée prints of some of my sketches and street art paintings. To make things simple, I’ve made each print to a size of 18cm x 24cm that will fit perfectly into an IKEA 20 x 26cm RIBBA frame.
Hope to see you there!
