You need to send 4 jpegs, an artist statement and brief bio to our email address:

I've got some artwork in the booklet for Necronoclast's new album 'Haven'. Black Metal at its best, so buy it for Xmas, for your sweetheart, just for the fuck of it!

Obviously you can then check out my artwork on the centrefold which will keep your eyes focussed on that dark place whilst you listen!

Check out my new online shop where you can peruse a selection of 14 ink drawings from my new series Bell, Book and Candle. These originals are a mere snip at £10 each (inc. postage) and come ready-mounted to pop into an 8 x 6 inch frame. I'll be putting more items into the shop over the next few weeks and will shortly be looking at getting some prints run off from some of my paintings.

It's less than a week now until the second instalment of Danse Macabre explodes in Nottingham - Wednesday 29th October to Monday 3rd November

if you DID NOT send an email requesting guestlist YOU WILL NOT get in as you will not be on the list, accepting the invite on facebook does not count. We cannot stress this enough.

Programme of the weekend events is below, please spread the word about the creative meet-up on the 2nd.

Wednesday the 29th October - Monday the 3rd
DANSE MACABRE II
Gallery opening times 10am - 7pm (10.30 - 5pm Sundays)

Over-spill event for those unlucky enough to have missed out on the private view. All are welcome so please bring along friends and family that are not able to make the friday evening event. From 1pm we will have refreshments at the View from the Top gallery

Sunday 2nd November
'Creative Meet-Ups' group will be hosting its third meet-up from 3pm, starting with an informal introduction from everyone within the gallery environment allowing people to find out what each other do and network then moving over to the Pit & Pendulum for a relaxed social gathering of like-minded individuals. This group and meeting is aimed at commercially-minded creatives with a view to network and collaborate with fellow creative individuals. This can be models and photographers, illustrators and events organisers, performers and film makers, etc. etc.

If you can't make this one, then watch out! You'll never know when and where we'll turn up next!
