Last year we were down in London around this time and managed to catch the first Pick Me Up exhibition of illustration and graphic art at Sommerset House.
There were some great things including screen print of a little girl with boxing gloves which we bought from Concrete Hermit. One of my favourite things was the books by Nobrow Press, especially the work of Jon McNaught in his little book Birchfield Close. Nobrow Press will be back in Sommerset House this year and will have copies of their cool new book A Graphic Cosmogony. I had a little flick through a copy when I was in the Fruitmarket Gallery the other week and its very cool. 24 artists take on tales of the creation of the universe with some stunning grahpics.
Pick Me Up is back on this month - click here for more info and click here for tickets though you can prob buy them at the door like we did last year.
