Heads up for a new show coming up next month at the Centrespace Gallery on Leonard Lane, ‘Triple Drop’, by Dicy, Acer and Ziml of the legendary TCF.

Really good idea for a show this, only a short run from the Saturday 12th September (10am – 5pm) to Tuesday 15th September (11am – 3pm the other days), but most important, the artists are covering the costs themselves, so they can charge what they think the pieces should cost, without having to put up with the stupidly high gallery mark ups you can sometimes get.

So, definitely worth getting along to if you fancy picking up something in a slightly more affordable way than the normal ’scene’. Interestingly, Xenz made sure there were some very affordable pieces at his last show too, the TCF really are top chaps.

If you want to make sure you can get what you want, there’s an invite only preview evening on the Friday 11th for the show as well, email invite AT tripledrop.co.uk to get yours. In the meantime, there’s more on it here on Acer’s blog, here’s the flyer, and the show’s got a website here as well.

Live painting events. There are still some great ones going on, but they’re getting to be the inner city version of a hog roast now, words that venues use to pull in more people to buy drinks during otherwise quite times. There was another live painting yesterday, this time down at the Bank Tavern in the centre (John Street off Broad Street).

One of the painters was called Pistol, no idea on the others. Here’s where things were up to during the early afternoon.
