Go See … Harris Open 2011
by Diane Becker
I don’t know who these guys are but I had to give them a wider audience. The group forms one of the exhibits at the current Harris Open 2011 titled Preston Artists in the Preston “Caf” (Artist: Steph Matthews). I think they’re brilliant. I really enjoy going to this (was biannual, now annual) show. It’s very democratic, open to all Preston artists and selected works include the shit hot, and the downright quirky. It’s well organised, properly displayed, a real pleasure […]

‘Aubrey! … who is this man …. and what’s he done to our wall?’
by Diane Becker
This is me, or rather this is Dot Seven, a new character in Ian Hewett’s free online web comic Destinauts. She’s named after my alter ego (@dotseven) on Twitter and it was a prize for spotting something on his website (I think, I can’t remember now, it was a while ago. Forgive me Ian). I love it. When I saw it for the first time, he warned, ‘she’s not what she appears to be …’. I’m really looking forward to seeing what […]
