The mischievous chaps at @weareinkyfingers known as @rbyrneart and @realhackneydave have curated an exhibition of original screen prints inspired by the hackneyed phenomenon that is LIVE LAUGH LOVE

They have invited a stellar lineup of 30 artists/illustrators and me to reinterpret this popular, well intentioned but ubiquitous slogan.
The exhibition opens at Inky Fingers Gallery on 12 October at 84 Wallis Road, London, E9 5LW Inky Fingers

‘EVIL GLOVE HAUL (anag) 4,5,4’ is my contribution to the mix.
Available to purchase here.

“You will live through vile evil, we are living through a veil of vile evil right now, love will laugh at you and you may even laugh at love, you will probably lose a glove but you’ll find another glove. Unless you are very lucky you won’t live life like it’s a picnic or a stroll in the park, it’ll more likely be a haul, hopefully long rather than short but most definitely a haul, or is that just me! Well in spite of that I’m living, laughing and loving this evil glove haul.”

Wed 2 - Sun 8 October
