THE FUTURE...
So...lately I have had my time consumed by Chapter One gallery...but I am not letting the Dilly die - or all the projects i had running around in my head...so very soon, the Dilly will enter a new phase, v.2 if you will...and a major reboot...in the mean time i am writing for a very exciting new blog - The Lunatic Journal, and also of course the Chapter One blog!
stay tuned!
stay tuned!

Stefan Marx Screenprint
One of the cool things about doing this gallery lark is that its a bit like fantasy league football...i can daydream projects and make them into a reality...and one of the things i have always wanted to do was to release a Stefan Marx screenprint...and now i have (well along with the other Chapter One dudes)...the reason im writing now is that we are really getting quite low on numbers because they are a bit popular...so if you want one - nows the time!
To be honest, the photo doesnt do it justice - in the flesh, Stefans Tonite image is crazy - the purple/plum and neon pink is so fresh, and the detail of the faces is awesome.
GET IT HERE!
This blog is slowly turning into a chapter one blog, and i apologise, but at the moment its swallowing my time!!!

BREAKING NEWS....CHAPTER ONE
exactly two months have passed since my last blog entry...why? why have i been this slack? because i have been working with a tight crew on a top secret project that will hopefully change London...and i can finally let the cat out of the bag...
CHAPTER ONE
What is chapter one?
well...its a soon to open gallery in Londons Soho that i will be curating and running with three good friends. We have signed a lease for a minimum of 18 months, it has two floors and a little bit of space out the back and we are fully in it for the long haul...We are opening its doors at the end of September 2009, and we plan on making London interesting again...bringing the passion and old school skateboard shop vibe (somewhere where you can come and relax, hang out and get nerdy) back to what is frankly a street art / over inflated money orientated london art scene (although to be fair there are a few decent galleries around)...basically we want to let the good art come through...not the hyped bullshit...Chapter One is going to be a space to get the hottest zines, news and see the best artists and art...it will be the physical version of this blog and so so so much more - big things are in the pipeline!
keep your eyes peeled here for news and flyers...and i want everyone to come and say hi!
PS everyone who has sent me zines or emails....a thousand apologies if I havent replied yet but i have been stupidly busy! i know thats no excuse..so SORRY!

EROSIE
1.HORROR VACUI
AMAZING ZINE...for me, instantly one of the best zines of the year (up there with the Stick It Mike Swaney so far...)...the non-stop powerhouse of greatness that is Erosie has dropped this zine with Sixpack...and if i had to sum it up into words (which is quite tough) its like a zine version of the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey...this psychedelic neon rainbow shows us a universe being formed, or what its like travelling to another universe...the beauty is that it can be whatever you want it to be, and for me its just stone cold awesome
2.Trespassers of the world unite.
Nelly Duff have teamed up with street art collective Toasters to do a group show...i went along to check it out & hook up with Erosie, and his canvas (to me) was the standout piece. If your around Old St, go to Kingsland Rd (opposite Catch) and check it out...i love seeing artwork in the flesh, rather than just through JPEGS and to see one of E's 'processes' canvases in real life was a real treat...some true Next Level Shit.
PS Will Barras piece fucking ruled too...

Zine Round Up - Patrick Griffin
One of NYs finest recently sent me some fucking sick (in all senses) zines...
'Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day'
We all have shit days...and this is the xeroxed manifestation of all those days you've been caught drunk at work by your boss, cut yourself by accident with a knife, missed that last bus home or had a final argument with your girl...you might not like bad days, but you will like this zine.
Contrasting between a childhood recollection (dont know if its autobiographical) of a shitty day with Patricks trademark street/gutter level photography (with subjects from the deathly steps at the end of the Exorcist to a rainy day forecast), exposing all of lifes faces - even if its one of sadness or melancholy...another great Patrick Griffin zine.
SKULD no.1
This is a group zine featuring Charlie Wilhoit, Patrick Griffin, Will Boone & Mark Flood, and is pure deathly grainy xeroxed grime...this is the real deal fucking nasty stuff and its fucking so rad. I LOVE the dead bodies with contrasting thought bubbles...i love this zine, so good.

Zine Round Up - Martin Bell
Martin Bell, Australias latest talent to be blowing up (serious...Australia is KILLING it at the moment...) was kind enough to send me some of his great zines he put out with his crew THE SERPS...Thanks Martin!
'Cowboys, Kittens & Vixens'
This is a collection of collages and stills of films (Buffalo 66, Paris, Texas) as Martin Bell explores Australian verncauar...especially looking at the romanticism of cowboys, car culture and western films...great stuff!
PS i think i've already blogged this on here before, but its so good i feel like i should do it again!
'Love you like you hate me'
Another Serps / Martin Bell banger...this time we see Martins collection of sketches that seem to show childhood inspirations - BMXers, robots, toys, hiding in teepees, pez dispensers...real good stuff...as usual

Amazing works that are still super fresh and inspiring today...Japanese prints from a master illustrator Kuniyoshi, his works shows fantastical stories and warriors in vibrant colours and patterns...the show is really fucking special and well worth the £9 entry fee...but hurry!
