 The Shopkeep's in London-town for a show Needles and Pens had at 96 Gillespie.
We got into London last Monday and hit the ground running...
Tubed it straight to the Gallery. Actually, this was pretty much the routine for the first 3 days.
This house was on the route. I think if I lived in London I'd paint my fence posts this way too.
Here we are at Gillespie Road. I've heard that the author Nick Hornby lives around here, oh and John "Rotton" Lydon grew up in the neighborhood.
96 Gillespie
Day 1, Kyle Ranson and Breezy trying to make sense of the art bomb that exploded as we unpacked all the work.
Kyle found some rad frames down the road (check out the little neighborhood girl peering through the window). She stood there for like an hour checking out our scene.
Kyle Ranson with Paul Urich on the day he arrived. Paul was in the (self-described) "jet-lagged wierdo" state of consciousness.
Day 3, installing Chris Duncans string sculpture. Kelly Wiemer is a master of knot tying. She must have been a salty sea dog in her former life.
Kyle and I took a walk around Stoke Newington on the day of the opening and ended up in...
Abbey Park Cemetery
The place is an over-grown shrubbery covered phenomenal goth paradise.
We high-tailed it back and the opening was in full-swing.
Kyle, Paul, and the art connoisseurs of North London. (God, it was heavenly to not be the one hosting the art show for a change - Thank You Pat Graham!).

That about wraps her up... after the show we jumped on the tube and headed to a bar....
Camden town, here we come. Kelly and Breezy...
Alright good people, I'm off to Berlin in about an hour, so I've gotta boogie! Expect more blogs to come from the road my faithful viewers!
Cheers!
