Another cartoon exhibition in Brighton

Gary Lactus

08:19 / 13.04.06

This time it's the launch of a free full colour local comic called "The Strip". It's at the Nest Gallery on St. James Street (up the top near the Sidewinder pub) on the 26th April from 8pm. There'll be lots of exhibitors including me and (I think) MacReady. I will also be providing amusement with my shit singer songwriter act. There will be wine, women and quite possibly my Mum and Dad too! Let's Go!

Ooh! I might be on a home visit to the City By The Sea then - I shall be wearing big round glasses and carrying a briefcase...

Will it, like, be going on in the day time? I mean, I could get there in the day time.

Gary Lactus

11:36 / 17.04.06

Starts at 8pm but will be up for a couple of weeks or so I should think. In the daytime.

Gary Lactus

15:11 / 17.04.06

Actually it'll be on 'til the 31st of May. Long time. By then your kid will probably have left home, Bobboss so not to worry.

Quantum

So this is next Wednesday?

Spaniel

20:00 / 19.04.06

Yay! Family daytrip to magical Fraelyland!

Quantum

14:55 / 26.04.06

See you there chums!

Gary Lactus

22:09 / 26.04.06

Well, that was fun. I particularly enjoyed the fight kicking off whilst I was trying to entertain in my Galactus helmet. Good standard of work. Fine exhibition. Go see.

Quantum

09:56 / 27.04.06

Best Galactus Helmet Ever. Also fine art, the Amusing Brothers on the stairs is particularly funny.

The amusing brothers having the fight downstairs was even funnier.

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

Hahahahahahhahahaha....

But, yeah, a really good standard of work throughout.

Spaniel

Wotwot? A fight? I must know more.

Will be along to have a look over the weekend.

lord nuneaton savage

12:00 / 27.04.06

You'll be too late. The fight's finished now...

Oh, right, gotcha.

Quantum

12:00 / 27.04.06

I followed the shouty guy, he went to the next bar down the road followed by his fussing girlfriend and had a drunken post-fight analysis over a fag. He was twatted. I almost went in to tell him what to do (i.e. be less of a cock) but I thought it wouldn't be diplomatic..

lord nuneaton savage

13:32 / 27.04.06

Oh no Quants, I'm sure he would've really appreciated it.

This got a write up in today's Guardian - even the Galactus mask...

Gary Lactus

11:17 / 01.05.06

HOLY CRAPOLY! Tis I've got to see. I'm off to the newsagents right now!

Quantum

17:15 / 02.05.06

Well? Hmm? What news oh devourer of worlds?

Gary Lactus

20:32 / 02.05.06

The article started off with a description of me! ME! Interestingly they referred to me as "a man in a Galactus helmet" like everyone should know who Galactus is. Perhaps everyone does...?

Actually sold a bit of art, too! This is clearly my one moment in time when I'm all that I thought I could be, when all of my dreams are a heartbeat away and the answers are all up to me.

Spaniel

10:24 / 03.05.06

Do tell more. What section was the write-up in? What justification did they give for writing up such a little exhibition?

Not that your work shouldn't be national news, just curious is all. Was it something to do with the festival?

sleazenation

20:46 / 03.05.06

It was in G2/the media Guardian in their little round up section...

Gary Lactus

07:53 / 04.05.06

It was mainly about The Strip, Brighton's free comic, but also covered the launch exhibition a little bit at the beginning.

Turns out the guy who started the fight was actually one of the PR guys for The Strip! I guess he was kinda doing his job in that it got people talking about the night.

Spaniel

19:43 / 04.05.06

Now I seeeee.

Goodness Gracious Meme

00:02 / 06.05.06

agh. He wasn't the guy who did the C**v book, by any chance?

(I only know who Galactus is thanks to you, F. I am ignorant by Guardians arts section standards.)
