Around the Corner Shop

cornershop sketchbook scanI really like Patrick Hughes’ paintings and his 3D constructions were an obvious inspiration for my Cornershop pictures. Looking at my sketchbook scan here makes me think I should go out and do more. I don’t know if he’s painted this kind of subject before but I was amused to see his latest work (see below).

 
patrick hughes corner storesIf you’ve never seen his constructions you really need to stand in front of them to get the effect. They are great fun, so visit Flowers between 14 July and 3 September 2001.

Street Panoramas Book

CostapanI’ve been intending to make a shelf-challenging book of panoramic photos for a long time but the intended size has even intimidated me, so in the meantime, I’ve put together a small, pocket-sized, version. Entitled, Small Book Big City, this is a limited edition of only ten copies and to ease the pain of the size versus price ratio it comes with a print (approx 20″ / 50cm long) of one of the images. You can see all the pictures in the book and find out more, here.

Sunday

Speakers CornerA Sunday wander with Jawed and Kevin who wanted to do Speaker’s Corner. I hadn’t been there for years. It was more entertaining than I’d expected.
