art and design
Well, all I can say is what an amazing, nail biting finish to what has been such an exciting few months.
Last night's Shaun in the City auction raised over one million pounds for charity. Every single one of the Shauns sold and King of the Carnival was bought by an online bidder for £4,600!
Sad to see him go, but so glad he was snapped up :)
Here are a few photos from the auction ....
Some photos from the recent Bristol and London exhibitions ...
From 12 to 20 September, The Mall Cribbs Causeway played host to a truly baa-rilliant sight: all 120 Shaun in the City sculptures united in one giant flock! Every fab-ewe-lous design from both the London and Bristol trails was displayed in ewe-nique categories, including Bristol Breeds, showcasing b-ewe-tiful Bristol designs and Farmer's Market, featuring our Shauns that looked good enough to eat! Thank ewe to all our visitors for supporting the Exhibition and a special thank you to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway, Icescape and Stage Electrics for their fantastic sponsorship of the event.
A second Great Sheep Round up Exhibition took place in London from 24 to 27 September. All 120 Shaun sculptures flocked to Covent Garden Piazza to help raise funds for Wallace & Gromit's Children's Charity, and we hosted a baa-rilliant pop-up shop featuring lots of Shaun in the City goodies. What a spectac-ewe-lar sight!
Really excited to announce that the King of the Carnival has been made into a fab figurine! You can buy him at the Wallace and Gromit charity shop at The Mall, Cribbs Causeway or online here
All proceeds go to the Grand Appeal children's charity.
Shaun in the City have featured me on their Meet the Artist website slot.

Here's a photo of Shaun, taken from the Bristol trail which finished on 31 August.
He will be auctioned off for charity at the end of October. For more info please follow this link to the Shaun in the City website.
King of the Carnival took seven whole days to paint - mainly due to the numerous coats of paint that were needed to give him top coverage! To see how it was done and for more photos ... click here
I am so proud to finally reveal my Shaun sculpture 'King of the Carnival' who will be grazing in Queen Square, Bristol between 6 July - 31 August this year. Please pop down and say hi to him if you are in the area as he will be happily posing for photos! Here's a link to my Facebook page if you'd like to post your images - photo gallery.
For everything you need to know about the trail please go to the official Shaun in the City website: http://www.shauninthecity.org.uk
Keep an eye on my blog over the next few days as I'll be posting some photos of Shaun in his various stages of preparation.

Just found out that my Shaun the Sheep will be grazing in Bristol's beautiful Queen Square this summer! What a fantastic location - especially as there will be loads going on there over the next couple of months. Just over 3 weeks to go now until Shaun in the City - can't wait :)
Now that I've been confirmed as one of Shaun in the City's Bristol artists I can start using this lovely new logo!
Great news ... my Shaun the Sheep is going to be in the Bristol art trail! Really glad that he's going to be in my home town as it will be so much easier for family and friends to visit him. As the trail doesn't start until 6 July I am going to have to keep my design under wraps for quite a bit longer though.
As a lot of the designs are still top secret so I can't show you any more photos of Shaun just yet. Once I get the go-ahead from the organisers I will give Shaun his 'big reveal' and show all the stages of painting.
Paints, paint pens, pencils, chalk, brushes all ready .... let's crack on with it.
