A couple of days in the old 'ristol city forcing Danny Wainwright to 'open up his shop and let me draw some youngsters'. The TLP Family grows as Shoemakers, Lads, dogs and Ladiators blend nicely together in a visual dedication to Bash, Danny, the geezers who live with Jago and the comedy genius that is 'Duncan Jago Smiths'.
It can be only justice to reunite with former TLP midfielder BOB GIBSON and create an authentically bombed mini 3D city based on the metropoli of Berlin and New York. The idea was people could do their own little tags and throw ups but since we never went back after the opening night we not sure if anyone got it or if someone just fatcapped out the whole side of a building. Who cares? Anyway im glad we got invited but i always thought the title 'dutch masters' was inappropriate as we're not dutch and don't claim to be masters. Please enjoy the 'Mini city of Gibson'
Everydays a good day for BBQ cow bodies and Malbec wine in Argentina's crazy capital. Crap taxi's and lashings of empanadas. Big DOMA geezers treated us like family and it was summer in january for once! Anyone for two pints of Quilmes?
The snowy and picturesque capital of Slovenia offered friendly streets and almost italian food. The show was curated by the massive Bozidar Zrinski in a huge building on a hill in the park. Thanks to the local artists for their obi-wan kenobe-style guidance. The force is strong in ljubljana. Keep the blast shield down.
Massive ammounts of thanks to all those who made Shanghai an amazing experience. All big geezers and geezesses at Da-space especially Eddi who made the whole thing happen. Jellimon massive, Arnaud and Hector plus all the other artists and people and dogs who came to the show.
'A show for dogs.....humans allowed' opened 27 april in Da-space gallery (www.da-space.com) The chinese translation was something like 'The London Police is here with his dog, come and bring your dog to meet his dog' apparantly that had a ring to it in chinese.
The TLP dog unit was born 27th april 2006. Six dogs turned up to the shanghai show. Three were brave enough to take the initiation...only two passed.
1. Name: Cooper
Asessment: aside from an excited bladder Cooper put in a strong performance. He slipped into the TLP dog jacket and enjoyed the honour of wearing it amongst the drooling crowd.
Verdict: Initiation complete. dog unit member.
2. Name: Ninu
Asessment: Solid display of being cute and having big hands. A disciplined bladder.
Verdict: Initiation complete. dog unit member.
3. Name: Jordan
Asessment: A weak innings from Jordan. Showed descent getting jacketed up and then spent all night under a table shaking like Travis Bickle in 'fire in the sky'
Verdict: Initiation Failed. We don't allow their kind in here.
A quick 4 day trip to bulgaria. Bizarre writing, cheap beers, plenty of dogs and some big geese. Please big up yourselves Rosi, Georgi and all the artists out there. viva The jodie foster fan club!
The GO GALLERY world cup took place during the world cup in summer 2006. It wasnt easy trying to prepare this show watching 4 football matches a day but i got myself in the game and sold a few canvai by the time that french bloke nutted that italian in the chest! C'mon you irons.
