That's the photo that made me comment as I did.
Sumptuous.
Thaks for the photo cg.

Thanks for finding them then ; )

The show was top quality. I loved the whole concept. The installations were really intense.
Loads of great paintings. It was all a bit too manic when the show opened, So I went outside for a walk around and went back later when it had calmed down and the show had sold out.
I went back today and had the whole place pretty much to myself. A much more enjoyable way to view the Art on show. I would highly recommend having a look to any of you who get the chance.
What a lovely way to spend a weekend.

I made a couple of purchases(2 of the last 4 hot pies left at Pieminster).

Oh and did I mention the golf?. Been a bit quiet today CG !!.

Silky- whilst you may be right regarding some of the work ending up on ebay. I feel that comment really lowered the tone.
Everyone involved in this show worked their nuts/tits off. Were you suggesting that the show only sold out because of people buying to resale?. I knew many people in the queue and I can't see many of them selling at all. I reckon there will be a lot less for sale on ebay than you think.
I know you said you didn't like Vermins work(apart from the background), but I reckon until you've seen it in the flesh its difficult to fully understand and appriciate it. I also know your unlikely to be making your way to the show, but if your around these parts at all you really should pop in.

It was wasnt it Slammer!, next time im definitely having a pie there.

This is the show I'd most like to see for a long time. My first love was abstract expressionism ane this combined with the history of the pieces make this for me a life affirming show. I hope for all involved it's amassive success.

Great work and great looking show!

I almost made a lengthy post on Saturday night when Id come back from this show and still contemplating what Id just seen, though with all the ebay talk and the other crap that followed it I decided there was no point, though CG, H and Slammer kind of proved me wrong as I enjoyed their posts.

Simply put this is the best show I've ever been to, it was more than a collection of paintings it was a journey that was pretty harrowing and frenzied at at times and simply beautiful and serene at other moments only to drag you back and then let you out briefly. There is beauty in the dark indeed.
Its so fucking raw and honest and stirred up so many emotions it took a long time after leaving to try and take it all in, though I know I have to go back in order to do that properly, I'm lucky enough to live 5 minutes away so will be back, a lot.

I have nothing but utmost admiration for Dale not only for his talent but also his openness.

Big up Mike and the team for making the other side of the show such a success.

I left with that feeling you sometimes get when you leave the cinema, that anything is possible.

Zippy go to show if at possible, seriously you won't regret it.I'm curious to know just how many people rate this as one of if the best show they have been to

Dont forget to take a few beers into the cold dark room, you deserve them

Im on there.

Im watching you Ian....... , this pie debt is building up, remember Ronnie & Reggie?.

Just thought that I would join in with the love for this show. The best show I have been to in some time. I had a chance to see it when it was quiet as was completely blown away by it. Me and wifey managed to bag some pieces that I am very happy with.

PS. hlarmy. I think it must be you that I was boring with stories of marathons. :-)

are they hand written pages ?

Nice thought Walshy but after producing 101 canvases in 101 days then 202 handwritten 16pg books might have driven him back to mental illness!!

Just incredibly well produced little numbers from the artists original hand written manuscript courtesy of our very good friends at the amazing Ripe Digital.
