Mutants abound.
December 3rd, 2009The Mutoid Waste Company throws open it’s spray-painted doors to the public tomorrow evening. You should go there, it’s excellent. Looky here.
I have a big wall piece in the print room, painted over a couple of days in high gloss house paint with a tiny brush, spray paint and glitter. Here are some initial photos for your swivelling ocular units:
It’s a fine place to hang out of a Friday, Saturday or Sunday 2pm - 10pm. There’s a bar, musics, fire-breathing mechanical beasts stomping around, huge and exciting sculptures, and there’s an excellent range of affordable prints and original artwork on sale there. I’ll be up there when I can at the weekends so come and say hello why don’t you, you sweet-hearted fool.
4 Exhibitions and new screen prints…
November 27th, 2009Hello team, I’m taking part in the brilliant new Mutoid Waste Company’s show - MuTate Britain at One Foot In The Grove’s Christmas Exhibition. I’ll be slapping up a big old painting of one of my new pieces and will have screen prints, drawings and digital prints on sale. The last time they did this a couple of months ago it was amazing and this one promises to be so too… Click the image for the full lowdown.

Dan Hillier with KTandPaul: A New Concept in Clothing, a new more attractive you.
June 1st, 2009My friend Paul from the Sunday Upmarket and I have realised lately that we’ve been feeling hotter than usual and, as a result, have felt our clothing to be too heavy and cumbersome. After some high-level consultation, some serious research and a lot of meetings we’ve come up with a new concept in light and easy leisure wear. We’ve decided to call it the “T-shirt” and have collaborated on a design to celebrate our invention.
My ‘Cyclops’ image sits neatly atop a tartan pattern designed by KTandPaul and is now available in Limited Edition white or grey, hand screened by Paul in four colours onto super high-quality Continental 100% cotton Ts and they look brilliant.
Available in small (Length 68cm armpit to armpit 51cm), medium (Length 71cm armpit to armpit 53cm) and large (Large Length 73cm armpit to armpit 56cm ).
