Posters for Camden
It's been raining so much in London recently, I've only managed to do THE CAMDEN MARKET FREE ART MAN once since arriving back from Thailand over a month ago. Tommorow should be dry though, so I've packed my laundry bag with more work than I've ever taken there before, aiming to get to Camden High Street before 12 noon. Included in tomorrow's display will be my new series of poster designs glued to handcut pieces of cardboard I found on the local streets. Below are videos of the poster designs, one of the A5 size ones and one of the larger A3's.
Also, while I'm there I'll take my new MADDARINGS paintings to Maddarings, a jewellery stall near the Stables Market run by Shelley Li, my ex-wife and fellow ELBOW SISTER. We've semi-agreed that she will give a painting to any customer spending over £50 or so.
Ron Throop @ronthroop will soon be doing the Stateside version of FREE ART FREES ART which we discussed in last weeks BLACK IVORY PODCAST:
Tomorrow's CAMDEN MARKET FREE ART MAN will probably finish around 3.30pm. Then it's a load of running around.
First, take the display home on the bus before rush hour. At home, pick up the MADDARINGS paintings, some larger posters, my box cutter, two empty laundry bags and the trolley. Then, get the bus back down to Camden. Take the MADDARINGS paintings to Maddarings. Put posters up in the local pubs. Hopefully fill both laundry bags with cardboard the local shops are throwing out. They usually start putting their rubbish out around 5:30, leaving me an hour and a half to collect as much of the good quality cardboard as possible before the council workers come round collecting it, around 7pm.
How was it? Do people recognise you and your art?
Camden's been good, the only problem is the rain stopping me from going as often as I'd like. I'm not getting recognised much there yet, but hopefully will in the future.
