‘PLATE OF PEACE’ INSTALLATION – MUSEUM OF CROYDON

Plate Of Peace Installation, PINS 43, Croydon

“Ideas for days, but execution pays!” – A personal quote I live by, afterall, we all have them…ideas…few take action, most don’t…glad I did on this one…

So the Museum of Croydon were organising their first #ClocktowerLate event to commemorate the 100 years since WW1, and suggested I get involved to do some sort of Peace mural. I got thinking, like really explored the notion of Peace, how war effects it and what it means to people today.…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID HAMMONS

David Hammons, Snowballs

“Doing things in the street is more powerful than art I think. Because art has gotten so…I don’t know what the fuck art is about now. It doesn’t do anything, like Malcolm X said, it’s like Novocaine.

So to celebrate this gorg sun we’ve been having in London, thought i’d drop this delightful yellow number – Mickey In The 90s – Swarovski crystals on Giclee print canvas / 12cm x 12cm / Limited Edition of 25 / Signed & Numbered, with love, might I add…

Also, been running some self-funded projects in my local community as well as at other community centres across London, providing Art workshops to help people engage more creatively, which is nice and super rewarding, only material / space costs can add up…

So, I decided to create a PINS ‘Art Fund’ to help sponsor these activities, which would now be 10% of online sales donated to the fund, allowing buyers to be part of a more meaningful transaction and help aid my greater purpose of ’empowering humanity through creativity’ – yes, I finally have a purpose in life, takes a while to make sense of it all, but when you get there, you get there…trust the process my friend…

Buy Mickey Support great Art 🙂

TECH A BREAK MATE_blog

Art is my therapy. So the more I create, the more I feel good. It’s like if you ever feel s**t or stressed out with life, just create. No rules, no nothing, just release the vibe. I’ve realised my sole mission in life is to connect & empower others through creativity, as that’s all I seem to do through projects & connections with people, a super natural flow.…
