Today was mostly spent painting vinyl ready from Vinyl. Vinyl opens on Thursday evening at Cultivate, and today, while people came in to see the Fool’s Gold show, I spent the day mostly out front on the pavement on the corner painting – “real street artist” said the German tourist talking lots of photos, “not really” said I, “but you are painting on the street so you are” he insisted… lots of good conversation at the gallery today, couple of sales as well, a sale or two is always nice, “I like you’re affordable art ethic” said the man on his bike who rode down specially and spent an hour or so talking about art and galleries and how it all works… Vyner Street does need a shake up and that is going to have to come soon, for now we’re enjoying the vinyl and getting ready to fill the gallery with lots of very affordable recycled (upcycled?) vinyl…

Do rather like the idea of lots of reasonably priced pieces of hand painted pieces of vinyl… all part of the continuing what price art exploration… fifty pieces of vinyl, hand painted and for sale at no more that £20 a piece, probably less in most cases…
