Guilty by Association Opening Night
This limited time takeover showcases the work of 30 urban artists brought together by Electrik Sheep. I was asked by the curators of the show Mul Draws and Prefab 77 to create an animation using their graphics, that would be displayed in the show and looped. This was a show all about celebrating Newcastle, art and culture of the north. This was a very proud moment for me, to be surrounded by artists I have looked up to for years.
I Jumped at the opportunity straight away, Opening night we had over 1800 people come through the venue in only 3 hours.

Electric Sheep
Established in 2005, Electrik Sheeps’ iconic store opened on Pink Lane in Newcastle and soon became home to local lifestyle gurus, an international community of designers and contemporary artists.
Its critically acclaimed gallery showed some of the finest creativity of the early 20th Century artists with Banksy, Faile, D*Face, Eine, Pure Evil, Eelus and Prefab77 among the roster of talent. After a long partnership with Topshop, running concession stores in Newcastle and Oxford Street London, Electrik Sheep is back online to keep the flag of this incredible, iconic, cult city flying high
