The day is nearly upon us. The day we go to ‘Play’. Come join in the fun and be inspired by the imaginations of 40+ artists, their interpretations of the theme ‘Play’ for this fantastic Inkygoodness Exhibition.
I was down there yesterday (delivering my artwork – yes, I’m also participating) and the East gallery is literally overflowing with new and eye popping wonders. There’s so much work that the organisers are having trouble fitting everything in, trying to cleverly use up every part of available wall space.
The super talented McBess was also down at the gallery covering the entrance wall with a Gigantic masterpiece. It was quite breathtaking to see him work, and actually shake hands with such a great man.
So what else is there to say. Come and see it with your own eyes. It’s going to be one of the biggest exhibitions of this year.
We all used to love colouring in when we were kids. Most of us still do, but we just don’t do it as much as we used to. So, here’s your excuse to break open a box of crayolas’ and turning everything rainbow coloured. Patterns for Colouring is the splendid idea of one Carlton Hibbert. Established for around 1 year, with a collection of 178 patterns and continuously growing.
“..Here’s a site for all those who love to colour in patterns and is packed full of free colouring pages. There are designs for all ages. All you need to do is choose the pattern you like best, download it, print it out and get colouring. It’s easy and great fun – perfect for people who like to doodle but don’t know what to doodle…” – Patterns for Colouring
It’s fun colouring other people’s patterns, but what will it be like to have one of your own creations being coloured in by hundreds of children? Are you an artist? Want to be involved in this grand project? Take a quick look over at the submissions page for guidelines.
Anyone with the faintest interest in comicbooks will be well aware of the legend that is Stan Lee… the man behind Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, Daredevil, the Hulk… need any more?? Well he’s now taking on a new challenge in the shape of the Stan Lee Foundation, which is a non-profit organisation aiming to provide access to literacy, education and the arts for all.
And now the call has gone out to all you super-powered designers out there… Stan Lee has teamed up with Talenthouse to run a competition to design the logo for the Stan Lee Foundation. Of course, the winning design will be used as their official logo, but on top of that the winner will be whisked off to New York to meet Stan Lee in person and to be presented with an award!! What more could you ask for??
It’s an opportunity of a lifetime, what are you waiting for? Go read all the details over on the Talenthouse site and then get your pencils out and start drawing!

When we asked for contributors to the Renmen Project we never thought we’d have such an overwhelming response. So much so, we brought together some of the best artists and illustrators for our latest release – the official Renmen Project Postcard Set! In preparation for the release (this Thursday), we caught up with the folks in question for a quick word about their contributions.
Pattern designed for the lovely and new Enigmatic jewellery shop based in Cavern Walks, Liverpool. The pattern has been used as a wallpaper through out the shop to decorate the walls and the display ornaments of the jewellery.
