Today’s Sunday Flea at the Custard Factory had a different feel today thanks to LTD Edition artists selling their wares. By far the most eye-catching stall was Steve Rack’s pictured above. His cheerful pictures really brightened up the rainy day. More artists should work with wax crayons. And, because unlike some other affordable art fairs the work here was actually affordable, I managed to walk away with Mazy is a Daisy for a cool £5.00.
Also intriguing were these books on sale by James Bourne:
James bought the unopened letter on the cover in a car boot sale and, rather than opening it, created a series of work of what might lie inside. Possible contents range from the mundane to the hilarious to the heartbreaking. Apparently he’s still not opened it and is making more art around it. I really admire his willpower, I’d have had it open before I’d gotten home.
LTD Edition art sales seem to happen at the Sunday Flea on the last Sunday of the month.
Bugger! I can’t believe I forgot this was on today! I’m digging Mr. Rack’s rectangular pink bear hoversin above the little yellow dude. And James Bourne’s art as a response to that letter is such a lovely idea.
Thanks for the insider snoop, Nicky.
