Guilty by Association Opening Night
This limited-time takeover showcased the work of 30 urban artists, brought together by Electrik Sheep. I was invited by the show’s curators, Mul Draws and Prefab77, to create a looping animation using their graphics, which was featured as part of the exhibition. The event was a celebration of Newcastle’s vibrant art scene and the rich cultural identity of the North.
Being involved in this project was a proud and memorable moment for me, especially as I had the opportunity to exhibit alongside artists I’ve admired for years. I immediately jumped at the chance to contribute.
The opening night saw an incredible turnout, with over 1,800 visitors passing through the venue in just three 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
