Pop!

So, I finally dragged my ass down to the new Pop Art section (re: tiny room) at Wolverhampton Art Gallery and while the visit itself was horrendous* I was totally in awe at the artwork.

I have a new fave piece.

B.A.S.H by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi

* Trying to take a photo of a Blake screenprint, I almost had my foot broken by a gaggle of amazons, screeching and pratting about in the 60s and 70s costumes that you can try on. Then, while I was trying to take photos of the Warhol print, Jackie, a trio of emo tweenies - decided to heckle me until I gave them the death stare. They soon shut up.

W00t!

I recently entered some artwork in a competition run by my uni and Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

It was to have a bookmark made of your art as well as your contact details which would then be included in the 'goody bags' that were handed out to visitors during the opening week of the new Pop art gallery at Wolves.

Twelve bookmarks were to be made and they were chosen from a range of first-year, second-year and third-year students (I believe there were only two first-years work chosen, myself and a fellow student on my course) and this is the piece that was chosen out of a total of six designs that I sent in.

I'm hoping to track my neice down over the weekend so I can get a photo of her holding the bookmark!
