Last Days of Phil Evans Show in Gallery

The Little Ghost Gallery was delighted to host the first solo exhibition for the talent that is Phil Evans. Unfortunately I was away on the night of the opening last Friday but from I heard it was a pretty sweet as night.
This all sounds like the show is done and dusted...hells no it ain't. There is two solid days left and whoever is reading this and has yet wandered down to the gallery, well I insist you do.
You have to see this show for the following reasons which have been officially written by the Government.

1. Phil's artwork makes your eyeballs feel like they are skateboarding. 
2. There is no stuck up, fancy pants, rip off ego art going on. Its straight up good fun and damn fine art. 
3. Phil once saved his girlfriends gerbils life. 
4. If you have never tried tea whilst viewing art in a gallery well Phil will sort it out.
5. There are hand made free gifts and the best business cards I have ever seen there for the taking. 
6. Phil tells a bad ass story about a fight you only hear about in guy football films. 
7.  The Little Ghost Gallery is actually clean and has a new old sign up which is worth any tourist photo opportunity
8. Phil is actually a rare breed of gentleman artist that is slowly becoming extinct. 
9. Phil holds the record for the longest break dance body pop in the world ever. He will only show it to a crowd of at least 20 or more but never 50 as he could easy kill a crowd that big with such a big body pop. 
10. . This is Phil's first solo show so it would be great to say hey I was at his first show back in the day. I kinda regret not buying something now that he is a huge name in the art world. 

That's just some of the 250 Government reasons outlined in the official Little Ghost Report about the show. We all know if the Government say so we must abide. 

There are 2 days left in the show and I went in today as Im just home from my travels and it was such a great space to walk into. Phil working away at his desk with nice tunes on and he is still putting out the work. Every artist knows what its like to have slow days and have no one in, its heart breaking so if your about Kilkenny do stop in. Everything in Kilkenny is a few minutes walk away, if you were in Paris or New York you would get trains and boats miles away to see some classical boring rubbish art just to get a photo to prove to yourself that you were there. At least here its less travel for better art. DEAL!!! 

I only got a quick look around at Phil's work today but on first glance it really grabs you. Like the idea of the mob that runs through the work, you  quickly become the colourful masked face looking back at you. You jump back n forth from the canvas to see how it was made or what's hidden beneath the detailed lines. Its really clever and different and we at the Little Ghost couldn't be happier to have Phil on our walls. 

Ill put up a better write up of the whole show once I have a better look at it and enjoy it with a cup of tea and a nice sit down. 

If you would like to hear more about the show and about Phil we will be on the radio with the lovely Edwina Grace on her show at 4.20. So tune into KCLR on 96 FM at 4.20 tomorrow to hear us have a wee chat and chomp down on some delish treats!!

The really sharp and sweet as photo I have uploaded here were all taken by Phil's mate Kevin Tunney. He got some great shots on the opening night and his angles and takes on the work really work well. Thanks Kevin! 

Ill just leave the post with a few more of Kevin's photos so we can infiltrate your mind and make you come down to see the awesome show. 

PHIL EVANS SHOW IS NEARLY OPEN!!!!!

I don't mean to be pushy or put peer pressure on anyone BUT if your not down to the Little Ghost Gallery on Friday night, Yes this Friday night, we'll come to your house and do a serious knick-knack on it or maybe if we have shared a Luke warm can of shandy we may even egg your house. Hellz yes that's a threat. Not a treat as I may have just misspelled it there but a very real treat..I mean threat. 

We're not usually this pushy when it comes to shows at the old gallery but this time we have a pretty hardy badger sheltering his work under our roof. A mister Phil Evans will take the gallery for a week and blow your God damn minds. I'm not kidding he has the gentle persona of a man who carries a Colt 45 strapped to his ankle. So you can understand why were in such a pickle here with this renegade artist. He pretty much called me up and said if I don't comply to his demands he will kill his girlfriends gerbil....I said to him like any good art gallery owner, "Kill the fuckin rat but make sure you take a photo before and after". I'm pretty sure that dead gerbil will be in the show so that's a must see right there. He also said if we the gallery don't have at least 50 people at his grand opening on Friday night that he will kill Anne. Now I don't know if this is true but I wouldn't like to chance it. I'm so freaked out and worried for my life that I'm going to Barcelona and Paris to see if they can help us get him out of our gallery. Just like in that film Braveheart but totally different. 

So if your in Kilkenny and you want to have a pretty awesome night on Friday night THIS FRIDAY COMING AGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHH well then you know where to go. NOT THERE WHERE YOU JUST THOUGHT...The Little Ghost Gallery Yes that's right! 

Lets say about 8 ...would that be OK for you? Great! 8 It is so. Can you bring your own beer or wine?? Why yes yes you can. Are you allowed to dance to the awesome live tunes on the night....YES! Yes you are! Can you maybe meet the love of your life that night and fall deep in love and all thanks to the gallery where Phils show is on??? NO! Phil said that's not allowed, also he said no cats allowed and bring sandwiches, the kind at 21st's. 

Also if your in Dublin and sick of it and realise yeah I'm gonna live a little THIS FRIDAY, maybe I dunno, go to Kilkenny, stop in have a pint, be at the Little Ghost Gallery for like ... I dunno...8. Maybe even ...I dunno ...buy a painting. Yeah maybe don't be so stingey all your life and buy something that's beautiful and unique unlike that car you drive or that hat you wear. Phill made us say that, we never speak like that. 

We'll since I'm so upset I best be off, but remember, Joe's is just around the corner from the gallery and so is every pub in Kilkenny and a Halal shop so what more do you need to have a good time. Dead Gerbils? Phil has it covered! 

Here is what Phil has to say in his own words about the show - 

PHIL EVANS – ARTISTS STATEMENT



"I could never get my head around mob mentality. I've never been quite sure where my attitude for this comes from, but as far back as I can remember I could never understand why people would succumb to the ideas of a larger group even if they didn't share the opinion of that group. The people who inspire me most are those who don't regard the opinion of "The Mob" and just pursue the course that feels most natural to them, which is often following their passions.
As a human in Irish society today there are many seemingly inescapable clichés that go unquestioned. I found by using a very simple character in all of the works for this show that I could put some of these various common scenarios into a slightly ridiculous context, and therefore make these scenarios more questionable. Media, advertising, dress codes, fame, txt speak, idols, music, sport, public movement and opinions are some of the ideas that seemed most apt for me to illustrate what I was trying to get at, which is that there is no harm in questioning anything you do. Just because everyone else is doing something it does not mean you are obliged to participate also. "The next big thing" will be yesterday’s news in no time. Who says you need to spend your evenings in front of a flat screen HD ready TV? Who says you don't? Who says you need to ride around on a skateboard or spend hours on end scribbling to get the most out of your day? Do whatever floats your boat, or don't."

WHAT WERE ALL ABOUT!

The Little Ghost

Gallery – Studio

The Little Ghost gallery is a charming little nest tucked away in what used to be an old grain store. The gallery’s intimate size offers both creative’s and visitors alike to experience a more welcoming and charming side to visual art.

The gallery encourages openness towards the artists and visiting public and feel art can be enjoyed a lot more in cosy surroundings with a cup of tea in hand. The gallery intends to make you feel at home with the art on display. The aim of the gallery is to display and sell artists work in a humble setting that rejects the stiffness and lifelessness of typical art galleries.

The gallery acts as both a working studio and exhibition space for the artist. Depending on the artist in residence the studio can be open to the public and you will be able to glimpse a show in creation.

The frequent launch nights and show openings are always a huge attraction. The gallery transforms into an engaging social event with live music and projected visuals that always makes for a great party.

The Little Ghost gallery / studio is an independent space for independent artists. The gallery acts as a non commercial unit that facilitates artists endeavours by providing them with a compatible studio and exhibition space.

which your on now......sorry we'll update some stuff soon...here don't steal our thunder we're on a roll here....

UPCOMING SHOWS

UPCOMING SHOWS

Pen Pal Pears – Group Show

Artists are selected and paired off to create a unique piece together. The catch is the artists only meet for the first time on the opening night of the show. The gallery brings two artists who may not know each other and have them create a piece together by using the Post. Their relationship is completely formed through the art piece they build together and without ever speaking or seeing one another meet for the first time at the grand opening.

The Big Sleep – Group Show

COMING IN AUGUST

Details will be posted on the Little Ghost Gallery Blog soon.

The Pen Pal Pear Group Show COMING SOOOOOOOON!!!!!

We are proud to announce that we have not yet typed up the new brief for the new Little Ghost Gallery Group show entitled 'The Pen Pal Pear Group Show' or TPPPGS show for short. But we are about to type the vrief up and when we do we shall sent it hence forth to every artist in the world ever. We hope to send it tomorrow. Its gonna be a show yal will wanna be a part of!

Phil Evans & The Little Ghost

From the 26th of March until the 2nd of April Mr Phil Evans will be taking over The Little Ghost Gallery with his first solo show which he has been working away on into the wee hours. Phil is a good friend of the gallery having exhibited with us before in the "Toys of Christmas Past" show, now he is going to completely take over the place and do his own thing.

Phil says the show is "A tongue in cheek look at having to supposedly comply to mob mentality in many aspects of life and society today. I'm going to have a lot of new work on display that I've been flat out on for the last while. As well as that, Bray beat bustawill be providing smoove grooves on the night and also debuting his first album, good show. There's a few extra little treats in store for the night in question to make it different from the usual well trodden opening night stuff, but you'll have to turn up to find out!"

I don't know about you, but I'm going to be dancing my pants off to Luke's serious tunes and more TUNES, now come party the night away with us square pants! Then look over the road to our nearest B&B and fall in the door.

Eleanor Reilly - I asked for a Puffalump - 2009 - Toys of Christmas Past Exhibition

This is Eleanor Reilly telling us the story of how she longed for a Puffalump for Christmas but instead she was given a duvet. Lousy!
Sound parents right there. A duvet...whats that saying to a child? ' Enjoy the gift of warmth and comfort because normally we let you sleep by the door'. I dunno I think this piece is really shocking and seriously heart breaking. If Barnardo's or the ISPCC get wind of this it might be the last piece we ever see made by Eleanor before she is locked away in an adult foster home.
If we look closely at Eleanors art and her attention to detail we can clearly see it was her parents influence she became such a great artist. Its evident that her parents never gave Eleanor the luxuary of toys, computer games, television or even crayons or colouring pencils judging by the detailed pencil work we see here. Eleanor had to grow up in a furnitureless room with just a duvet ( plain too) and a pencil and paper as entertainment. Shocking! Over the years eleanor was so bored she befriended four really sound dustmites. One of these mites who we will name Joe for legal reasons was a skilled artist. He spent years training Eleanor how to craft tiny versions of the things she loved but did not have. One of the strongest example of this microscopic craftswomanship is in this piece. Just look at that little Puffalump. That is pure talent and skill, the kind only an artistic dustmite can train you in.
Eleanor was banished from her home after a few years. She had "accidentally" crushed Joe (the dustmite,who her family grew to adore) and used his fine textured hair as spokes of a miniture bicycle in some piece depicting some foreign country she pretended she went too.
Once Eleanor was set free of the shackles of stinginess of her parents she became emersed in all things creative. She would go to art shows and flirt with the wine. She would hunt artists she admired and use their mojo as inspirational glue. She would be given the key to the city that she built for the dustmites out of Rice Krispies and guilt.
The Little Ghost Gallery has fostered Eleanor as one of their own. Its a great feeling as an artist to come across someone who you know by the depressed look on thier face that they have dedicated their life and soul to their art. We in turn dedicate our friendship and time to this truely gifted and special artist. To find out more about Eleanor and her love life just click HERE. If you are a mourning dustmite please feel free to abuse her as she feeds of negative energy to make such pretty work, just like an Incubus does!

LITTLE GHOST ARTISTS STUDIOS FOR RENT

The Little Ghost Gallery is looking for new artistic neighbours. We are hoping to build up an artist community in and around the area of the Coach Road on the way up to St Canices Cathedral and Dean Street. This area has many properties to Let and many empty office and shop front that we feel are going to waste. This is where we feel the artistic community can step in and create an established artistic ghetto of sorts.

There is a great studio space beside the gallery up for rent and we are hoping to get artists in make a creative atmosphere. The room is split into 3 spaces. One large, medium and small. There is a storage closet and the small room to the front could be used as a dark room if its needed. Its a cosy little space and and looks out onto the hill up to Canices Cathedral.

The space is ideal for an artist studio and would comfortably house at least 3 - 4 artists. The space is unfurnished but Im sure there would be a skip you can steal from somewhere. There is Gas heating and the electicity can be run off a meter if it suits you better than a bill.


Kilkenny is becoming a great place to set up shop as an artist. Since the new by-pass went in Dublin is less than an hour and a half away. Its 20 min from Thomas Town and 10 min form Bennetsbridge. Perfect. If your an artist wanting to set up a new artist collective with a few other artists this space would be perfect and you have a gallery next door, what more do you need?


If you or someone you know would be interested in renting this space please contact us at the Little Ghost Gallery by emailing us at this address. Please pass this email on to any you know who may be interested.

Skeleton Dance by Sara Antoinette Martin

When someone as nice as Sara Antoinette Martin sends a piece like this to us in the Little Ghost all the way from her studio in New York, you realise that there are so many people in the world that you need to personally high 5.

I was doing the Secret Wars showdown before Christmas in Dublin. Our team was up against the skilled OFFSET team and I was a bit buzzed at the fact that folk such as Tara Mcpherson and James Jean were in town giving talks and might very well pop along and kick back with us. Didnt think Tara Mcpherson would actually jump up and start juicing her maker on the the OFFSET board but she did and well that was just awesome. After the show I thought I might go up n chat to Tara about the gallery and ask her would she like to put some work in sometime and make new friends in a little Irish town. I realised once we got to partying that the last thing I wanted to do was wreck the head of someone who I admire with shite talk and she was bombed with same ol same ol so Instead I fondled a mans beard in front of her and scattered.

But after this I emailed her causeIts farrrrr more polite these days. She couldnt get work over as the timeline was too tight and she was busy out but she said her friend Sara might be interested. Low and behold Sara is thee Sara. The Frida Kahlo of today without the unibrow and broken back and frog like man on her arm.

Was a pleasure to hang this in the gallery and I was a bit bummed it sold so quick as I really wanted it. Thats the last time I ignore the greed part of my brain.  I did get a lovely signed print of "Unfinanced Love" for Christmas from my lady faced lady. Gonna carry it under my arm everywhere I go.

We hope to see more of Sara's work on the wall of the Little Ghost and have her over for some hot whiskeys and a cuppa cha someday.

Rattle Me Bones by Ivor Noyek

This sweet little piece is from the hand of a man they call Ivor Noyek.You may remember Ivor from such art show episodes as The For The Love Of, which he stars with his fellow art attack mate Shane O Drizzy who made the sweet 'Longest Skid Wins' piece in the show we just had on. Both lads will be hosting yet another FTLO show in the Mill Street Gallery soon, this time it shall be the 'For The Love Of Change' show. They send out a brief asking artists to submit work based on this theme and then put on a big show where loads of folk flock to see and buy and party. Its really overrated though. I mean Ive been in their last two "successful" shows, FTLO God & FTLO Live and to be honest I thought it was pretty Sunday Mass like. Well I mean there was amazing artists at it and loads of people were there and each time round the shows gets bigger and better but yet again Ivor comes along and out dresses everyone else not even considering the thoughts and feelings of the poor artist who cant possibly afford such threads. Even though FTLO is one of the best new group shows you can be apart of and they throw a badass opening, its  no excuse for Shane O drizztics speeches. Yeah he has a pretty good flow but shhhhhhhhhh its an art gallery not a library. I dunno? We the Little Ghost keep offering them advice and help and encourage them to shut down but they ignore us.... kids wha? I tells ya! Anyway if your done living on facebook, check the brief for the show and apply with art i guess....click here to sell out.
ANYWAYS,
 Ivors piece is called 'Rattle me Bones'. It was a game back in the day kinda like Buckaroo only better as it was a skeleton on a pirates treasure chest. It was pretty cool check it out here.
Ivor used some ink and pro markers I think on this and it was done on some newsprint I do believe. Still available from the Little Ghost gallery if you wanna buy it. Just send us an old email and then send us the money we'll be sure to send it on to whats his name. Ivor is a designer who makes things on a computer and a pretty good one too think its a Mac or something. Anyway if ya want Ivor to make you something or draw you something its best ask us first cause he will be out buying something nice for his legs or he will be stealing car radios. How else you think the FTLO is funded. tut tut tut!!!!

A Wistful Desire by Martin Whelan

Nice nostalgic digital print from Martin Whelan. Martin is a new name to us at the gallery but we were really impressed with his take on the brief for the Toys of Christmas Past show. The use of colour is really strong and the composition is worked well with the form of a scalextric track with the little car shooting out.
We are really looking forward to seeing more work from Martin in the future. I hope he does some more scalextric stuff cause that is pretty damn cool.
This digital print is still available from the Little Ghost gallery so if your interested in getting your hands on a copy please email us littleghostgallery@gmail.com

Allied Occupation Forces in France by John Corrigan

This is John Corrigans piece from the Toys of Christmas Past Show. John based this on an old toy soldier play set he had as a child. I think it was like a Normandy landing playset and he put his own swing on it. I dont remember any old plastic soldier sets being detailed I always remember they were universally the same in a wee bag had a German flag and an American Flag and a crap jeep and tank and a few sand bags. We wanna see this play set john or we cry hoax!
But ya gotta love this piece right? Its pretty sweet as. That girl is pretty hot too I dunno why all the soldiers are running away from her maybe they just wanna party with their baguette and wine. This is a limited edition print and we still have the framed one available to buy in the gallery but not for long more as it shall be going back to the artist so if you want it at a good price send us an email and we can send it out to you in a tank.

She Wolf Cub & Fisher Price Frog by Kate Elliot

When Kate sent me this in the post I thought it was a gift my girlfriend had bought me on Ebay then after i read the note with Reuben's (her pirate partner) I realised it was not to be mine it was her submission for the Toys of Christmas Past show. I felt sad. Then I was happy cause it is such a cool piece. I lve nothing better than anything hand stitched once its not some shitty emo doll. But this little wolf cub that was made from memory of what Kate had as a little girl pirtate is so good. There is so much personality and expression in it when you see it up close and her legs are sewn in the perfect way that she sits perfectly. Attached to her killer claw is her pull a long Fisher Price frog. I really liked this and it reminded me when I was a little shit machine and I used to be so excited about a new toy I would get I would draw it. I loved drawing Dino Riders you could always ad mad lazers n blood too. I dont remember this frog but Anne knew it straight away as did loads at the opening night. There is a serious home made whack of nostalgia and love off Kates piece and I think it would make someone really happy as a gift cause I got all mush when I opened the box to find it inside. So if anyone is interested in giving the little cub a home just send us an email and we'll get back to you right away. Kate is always making little gems like this and I hope soon she will have a site up with all her work. NO!

OH TELESCOPE TELESCOPE I LOVE YOU SO by Reuben Whitehouse

This awesome lino printed masterpiece is from the only genuine REAL living pirate in the world that I know of. His name is Reuben Whitehouse but his pirate name is Boo. I have known Boo and his beautiful lady in life, Kitty, for years n years now and had the bestest start to 2010 by welcoming it in with them. They have lived pirate lives travelling the sea and dusty roads of Oz for the past ages and now are living in Bristol where they make lots of cool things just like this piece which I love.It was part of our 'Toys of Christmas Past Show' Im loving the fact that each letter is indiviually hand cut and you can see the ink lines so well. Its mad homely and has a sense of building blocks you might have had as a little nipper. Best part is if you knew Boo you know this is exactly what he said to his telescope as a wee lad as he hugged it in his room. I dig nothing more than simplicity and language used in genius ways and this does it for me. My favourite part of the whole thing has to be the ultra AWESOME lightening bolt signiture stamp in the bottom corner. NICE!!! !
This piece is still up for sale but will be taken down this weekend and I think there is 80 bucks or something on it maybe more but so worth it as your gonna hear more about this pirate boo real soon and then you will regret not owning one of his early pieces. Imagine this on a kids bedroom wall.. screw kids imagine it on your wall especially in a sweet old attic bedroom. Well check out boo's site right here and if ya ever need some cool personal things made he is the man to ask. Not only is he an awesome pirate he is also a mean surfer, web designer, graphic artist and high 5'r. If Im wrong you get all your money back.

2010 in the LIttle Ghost

Sorry for the lack of update or news from the Little Ghost. We are back after a really lovely break away. Anne & myself spent a few days locked away in a wee thatched cottage on a little island off Donegal after New Years so we had time to work out plans for the little ghost over a  fine turf fire.




We needed a lie in for about 2 weeks after the mad run up to the gallery opening and all that. So we have scrubbed up in our finest overalls and have begun to take down the Toys of Christmas Past  Show and make way for a new show.
 
So here is our plan: We havent got one yet. But were working on it. But then once we found we were working on it it made the whole process a bit shit and boring and more like regular gallery shit. So we decided to watch DVDs and Anne cooked some bad ass meals from an awesome cook book. There are so many types of amazing fish I have never eaten and they must defo be eaten i tells ya. I suggest we call all fish yumfish from now on cause i aint found one that isnt nice ...well tuna is pretty  uckkkkfish. Anyway this is how Anne & me procrastinated when it came to the gallery. We would sit down like so, and say hey whats the story with the gallery. Then one of us would automatically point at something in the room and before you know it we have spent 7 long strong hours playing a board game no one has ever heard of. Let me tell you this the game is grape & i didnt mispell that by mistake. Anyway seems like I maybe doin the old procrastination dance again like Kevin Costner in that film with the indian wolves, he got nuttin done absoutley nuttin. Just danced and howled and protected Whitney Houston from being killed.

Anyway as I was saying before you interupted, the Little Ghost Gallery ( which has been voted best gallery in the world by my cousin dave and my brother who knows pretty much everything) will have another group show on in the coming months. We will be sending out the brief for the new show post haste but first we have to allow everyone calm down from the aftermath of the For The Love Of Change brief which came out a week or so ago. Word of advice from people who know, dont get too cosy with those FTLO lads, Shame and Igor. Its pretty obvious they are only in the game for the ladies, I mean one is really tall and has a pretty good taste in t-shirts and dont even get me started on how well dressed the other one is but anyways dont trust them whatever you do. Trust us cause we get stright to the point......

 

To cut a long story short, we are gonna have a group show in the next 2 months. Between now and then artists of any trade came email us at littleghostgallery@gmail.com and submit work. We are always looking for new artists with something different and new to offer. So if you or anyone you know is looking to put on an exhibition let us know. We will be renting the gallery space to the artist for week long runs. We will also have weekend runs and the artist will have to curate their show after the opening night which we will host for them. Ah just email us for details.

 

We have gotten loads of interest in the gallery and have alot of artists in contact with us so we can only host so many and we cannot accept all the work. During the year Anne & myself will travel to Berlin, Paris and NYC to meet new artists, galleries and spread the gallery all around. We are always looking for support and extra help even if it means painting walls or sitting with a show someday so let us know if your free & we'll put ya on our emergency help list.

 

Now that blog entry was long enough to buy me a few weeks of not posting anything. Nice one.

 

Longest Skid Wins - Shane O Driscoll

Shane O Driscoll is a great mate and an unreal talent when it comes to design.  I couldnt wait to see his piece for the 'Toys of Christmas Past' show in the gallery. Its crazy how you can get a feeling of your childhood and the 80s by an image. So clever and cool. The title of this piece is called 'Longest Skid Wins'. I think everyone who read it at the show went 'Awwwww Yeahhhhh'!!! Id buy it for that titke alone. Its also cleverly priced at €88. Nice Shane!! Its well worth it. A once off 4 colour Screenprint on card taht captures the childhood of any scruffy young lad from the 80s who got a BMX from Santy. This piece is still on offer and on the wall so I encourage you too come and view it and then buy it cause its unreal. I really want it on a t-shirt or tattooed on my chest.

Shane is one of the fathers of FTLO shows which have set up to be one of the ground breaking success stories for large group exhibitions of 2009. Shane and the other dad of FTLO Ivor Noyek have made a line in the sand for new and independent artists in Ireland to cross over and make something of themselves by dedication alone.

I couldnt take my hat off enough to these two boys for their pure modesty and dedication alone. Its far and few you come across in the art world who set up high standards to follow by what they create and keep a level head. Gentlemen indeed.

If your an artist and want to find your place in the world and get your work out there in a professional and stylish manner well keep a close eye on these lads as next year everyone will be talking about them, Ive already started rumours.

Eleanor Reilly covers LeCool and tells all in her interview

This is Eleanors awesome cover she designed for Lecool.
She also gave a really lovely interview which includes an even lovlier photo of her and thats right here.

Eleanor is a great friend of ours and is already a huge part of the Little Ghost Gallery family. We are lucky to have such a dedicated and beautifully talented artist like Eleanor be apart of the gallery, even if she does like Calvin Harris.

Anyways expect to be seeing more of Eleanors work right here and in the gallery of course. Funny you mention that because she has a piece in the Toys of Christmas Past group show which is on until December 24th. Yes you heard me Christmas Bloody Eve. Thats dedication and if ya wanna buy someone the nicest pressy ever well ill tell you this much...its in the gallery. We dont do rip off, cocky, shit art we do only the best and most creative and fun, no serious woe is me shite. Eleanor Reilly aint about woe is me she is all about finding gems on Youtube and bringing flasks of tea to cool places. Eleanor Reilly people, remember the name, but remember we found her first.
