Happy new year! It is going to be a busy one for me, preparing for a new book and solo show in early Autumn. First though, I am taking part in The Courtauld Institute of Art's East Wing X: Material Matters show. This opens from the 21th January at the Institute in Somerset House in London - but being a working college it is only open to the public on the last Saturday of each month. If you want to catch the show though, it runs until June 2013, which should give you plenty of opportunity. I have a mix of older and newer work in the show, including the image above, taken near Somerset house at the end of last year. You can also see work by War Boutique, Laura Keeble, Gabriel Dawe, Paula Rego, Damien Hirst, Simon Edmonson and over 30 other artists. My work is downstairs in the cafe, so if you get there early you can probably grab a fry-up too. Find more info here.
I have also produced a book cover for Dimitri Verhulst's book The Misfortunates. It is the first commissioned book cover that I have done and the book is great - it reads like a Belgian version of Shameless, but with more heart. The installation wasn't left on the street like I usually would as I had to shoot a few versions of the cover, but fear not - I am in Antwerp in May, where these little alcoholics will be abandoned to their fates in their homeland. You can check out the book here.
The leaf sweeper has his work cut out!!!
Congratulations on you commission :-D
Happy new year
Cheers

I love your work, sir/ma'am. Your consistency inspires me to look at my surroundings in different ways. :] Thank you.
So. Your new book. It should be completely over-sized. So that when someone picks it up, they feel like a little person. Alice in wonderland kinda size distortion. could be fun?
Hey, loved your first book. Even recommended it on my blog - in German though.
Your work is really inspiring and unique.
THANKS!!!
It's very amazing iniciative! I love this blog!
Regards!
you're a genius!!!!i
It's delightful, as always.
Do you ever discover out what happens to your installations after you abandon them?
The top photo... Dead Leaves: Interesting depiction of my life in the fall. That's what I feel like raking leaves in the back yard. It almost like the project is larger than life. Great Work!
Thanks

For a second when I read the description I thought you meant you LEFT CHILDREN ABANDONED ON THE STREETS. Well THAT thankfully wasn't true. This is actually amazing. I'd love to stumble across one if these, this is brilliant.

Loving the stories behind those little creatures! All your projects are fascinating!
very funny!
Wow! I'm fun of scanning this cute and awesome art. I like it. Tiny but heavy project is not easy. Great job.!

Love these close-up shots; they give us a sense of a small person's world. It's much more interesting to see our world from their perspective than the far off shots that show them from our perspective.
Maravilha! Muito bom!
You people did wonderful things,Such a good Creative.
