Also the LJR boys were kind enough to let me sell some prints at the the next market. I’ve had a whole bunch printed on Fuji Archival paper at 12×8″ and will all be available for £5.

Southsea Typeface

When ever possible I like to do the odd piece that’s just for me, just for fun. This came about off the back of something I was doing for work. Messing around with pens and pencils, then putting it through the computer. Maybe I’ll tackle Strong Island at the weekend! Oh, and for those that know him it’s Borneos birthday this Friday. KST then on to Albert Road. Be sure to check my flickr photostream to see the carnage.

Southsea Promenade

A quick hand sketch and some computer rendering gave quite a good result using Pauls original. I might spend some time making these a little tighter and leave a few around Southsea.

Primary Exhibition Preview Night

We are very happy to announce the details for our Primary exhibition, with it’s preview night on Friday 1st June at Bonzo in Albert Road. We had well over 500 submitted photos by well over 100 different local photographers, all using their mobile phone cameras and an assortment of different apps like Instagram, Camera+, etc. The exhibition format itself will be something new and previously unseen in Portsmouth in this form and we will be unveiling the winners of competition too, with loads of photography related prizes. There will also be food, drink and some surprises we’ll let you know about nearer the time. This may well be one of the largest community arts projects to happen in the city in relation to the number of people who actively participated and we really hope everyone can make it down to see this absolutely unique view of our city and it’s people.

If you cannot make it down on Friday the exhibition will run through the whole of June so be sure to pop along. After the exhibition we will have an online, interactive gallery of all of the images to form a legacy to the project.

The 2nd Strong Island Ale – Dry Dock No. 1

As you may know each year we run a home brew competition in February where the winning brew has the opportunity to be brewed by Irving & Co Brewing Co. and sold around the city in the summer. Last year’s brew, the Strong Island Hopper Ale, was hugely successful being one of Inving’s best selling ales and selling out so quickly it went through a second brew run. This year’s winning ale is Dry Dock No. 1, originally brewed by Lee Immins, went on sale in some of Portsmouth and Southsea’s pubs over the weekend.

We spoke to The Hole in The Wall in Southsea who said the new ale went down a storm with it being their best seller on Sunday and with almost two barrels empty by the end of the Bank Holiday weekend. Those guys at the Hole in The Wall and their regular ale drinkers know their stuff so for us this was amazing early news with the ale.

To officially launch Dry Dock No. 1 we are having a launch party with the lovely souls at The Belle Isle on Thursday evening. The ale will be on full flow, come down and try a pint or two. As well as being on sale all around the city the ale will also be available in Chichester’s Belle Isle too, so you can drink it away from home for the first time too.
