I came across this flyer on the VNA blog, and instantly wanted to check it out. On the night, a few of us off my course headed down and had such a good friday night. It was a mix of live art from artists and little interactive activies the public could get involved in, music and drink, three of my favourite things. I loved the fact the art was interactive, as you got to colour Nick Deakins print, as the design was being screen printed just meters away, create your own little character or take part in the facetime photo experience. In the centre of the room was the live art cube featuring Tom J Newell, Guy Mckinley, Craww and Jo Peel who demonstrated the art of live illustration. There was no themes, limitations or restrictions. Each artist was free to express their style, as the events ethos has always been to showcase talent rather than constrain it. Getting the chance to see Jon Burgermans live doodles via New York was also a great experience. All the art was of such a variety of styles and they was people of all ages joining in, and looking at the blog, they are thinking of holding another night like it, so i look forward to it dirtyface!
