A3

A3, a monthly black and white poster publication has now ceased. Since April 2009 A3 presented the work of a large number and variety of artists and writers.
Their work, whether text or image, was hand written / drawn out by myself, establishing a unified, and intimate style to the publication.

Originally distributed at the 2nd Thursday Events curated monthly by Frog Morris at the Montague Arms, it was later stocked at Artwords Bookshop, Banner Repeater, Beaconsfield, BookArtBookShop, Camden Arts Centre, Donlon Books, Gasworks, The ICA, Nieves (Zurich), The Nunnery, Peckham Space, South London Gallery, Wiebke Morgan, Whitechapel Gallery, X Marks The Bokship and SHIFT.

A3 participated in the annual Publish and Be Damned Fairs, held in London. The June 2010 edition was produced in collaboration with the South London Gallery and featured stories and drawings made by children at the Charlie Chaplin Adventure Playground and the April 2011 edition was commissioned by Tate Modern to celebrate the screening of The Bigger Picture, a film celebrating the live and work of David Hockney.
