Art of Bruce Whistlecraft

On May the 27th something cool is going down.

And then coming back up again.

And then going down again….

During the recent trip to Canterbury we spent the day in Whitstable just a few miles away on the coast.
A pleasent little seaside town with some lovely wonky old buildings and interesting little artisan shops.

Whilst we were there we went to look at the house which Peter Cushing lived in for many years (from 1959 when he was making “The hound of the Baskervilles” untill his death). We then had a slap up binge in the little Tudor tea rooms which he also regularly frequented.

The thought of Grand Moff Tarkin with a buttered crumpet by an open fire seems so right dont you think?

I recal a punk song though I dont remember who did it, which had lyrics which went something like :

Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable,
Peter Cushing on his bicycle,
Peter Cushing buying vegetables,
Peter Cushing is IMMORTAL!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Back when I ran my gallery store I designed and commissioned a handful of pieces of furniture.
I have decided to sell the last piece i have, a bed.

It is constructed of Iron with a laquered Oxidized finish. I designed it and had it made to my specifications.

If you are interested in possibly purchasing it please email me for info

I expect only people in the UK need apply unless you have a heap of pennies to cover shipping as it is really really heavy..

EDIT : Now up on Ebay if you want to see more pics and read the nitty gritty.

At the end of today (Thurday 17th) I am off on my Yule break for a week or so.

If you need to contact me in a hurry and you dont have my private phone number…. tough!
Sorry. I got to have a break some time.

Emails will be answered when I get back and shop orders will be posted as soon as possible.

Have a great Yule fellows.

(ooh it’s just started snowing here… Nice!)

I have finally got around to killing my old very broken news blog and porting all the old stuff over to a new shiney one.

I hope you can all see this one ok without horrid popup adverts and stuff getting in your way.

I will try and update a lot more regularly now too.

I need to make it all pretty and whatnot which could take a few days so please bare with me.

The UK arts magazine Dangerous Ink ( http://www.dangerousink.co.uk )is having a spot of financial trouble and may have to stop trading.
This would be a shame as there will then only be Juxtapoz and High Fructose left covering this area of art.
And it’s the only UK magazine…

They are having a sale of donated artworks on Ebay by the likes of Chet Zar, Gary Baseman, Liz McGrath to raise funds to keep the printers rolling.
Pop over and check it out and maybe put down some cash to help them out.

Maximilian Thorn Whistlecraft.
Born after much drama on the 4th of December at 6.10pm

He is the Arch-grumbleduke, with a wicked little gleam in his eye.
Equal parts goblin and future pirate king…
