Art of Bruce Whistlecraft

The launch party for the new UK based mini platform toy “Jinny” by BitBots was a few nights ago in a pop-up store/gallery in Soho London.
I had a custom piece in the show along with a host of other UK artists.

As far as I am aware the piece is still available to purchase.
So if you like the look of it drop the BitBots fellows an email or toddle along to the gallery. All the info is on their website.
The gallery will be open for the next month.

I will have a booth in the Comic and Pop Artist Alley in the Grand Hall East at the Hyatt Regency hotel at this years Dragon Con.
The show runs from the 3rd to the 6th of September it Downtown Atlanta.

Last Saturday I headed over to the Richard Goodall Gallery in sunny Manchester to join Mr. Matt Jones in a mini meet-&-Greet as his Lunartik in a cup of Tea toy tour is currently showing there.

I have a piece in the traveling custom show.

Mr. Jones spent some time painting on the gallery window.

Then we sat down and signed stuff for the crowd that had gathered and talked nonsense about tea and robots whilst scoffing a packet of Custard Creams..

It was a fun day. Thanks to every one who came along to say hello.
I will hopefully be doing another signing at RGG when I have something new out.
