[killer b]

Yeah, I'll do some cross-referencing later and see who's been remiss. I'll make sure everyone gets one at least, one way or another.

I went into Cass Art in Islington on friday to buy some watercolour postcards (whether I actually get round to doing anything is another matter!)

The girl behind the counter said 'we've sold alot of these recently'.
Made me wonder if any other Urbanites had been in...

 

[killer b]

Be a big holiday seller id say

[killer b]

right, according to my files, the following people have not yet acknowledged reciept - appreciated you may not have access to a camera or something, but can you at least confirm one way or the other if you haven't already?

foamy, moomoo, clicker, belushi, dave cinzano. Sweet FA & Miss Caphat also... ohmyliver, you should get something in the next couple of days, sorry for the delay.

 

[clicker]

my letterbox

[killer b]

Don't be sad. I know at least one of yours has been sent, sure they'll arrive soon.

I have a back up plan if they don't

 

[foamy]

Yay! It has arrived! It looks like its been on quite some journey including being trapped in the outside of my letterbox for 2 days! Pictures to follow...

 

[ohmyliver]

Yay, I've got one... it's very nice. Thank you to who ever made it.

I've got ANOTHER ONE(!) that's similar to this and really tactile- I keep stroking it everytime I walk past it.

Is there a really simple way to post photos from iPhone to here?

can you email it to yourself and then get to a computer and use an image hosting service (or if the image size is not huge, use the 'upload a file' button in the bottom right corner of here.

Or alternatively use something like the Imageshack Uploader to upload it from your iphone to imageshack.

 

[killer b]

if you sign up to photobucket, they give you an email address to send photos to - just email from your iphone to that, and it'll appear in your photobucket album. then copy and paste the link.

 

[foamy]

Let's see if this works.....
Nope

 

[killer b]

after a fashion. here:

 

[foamy]

Thank you! It's only taken me an hour to get that uploaded....or nearly uploaded anyways

 

[killer b]

i'm taking a couple of weeks off to sort some shit out, is everyone ok if we start the new round when i get back?

i'll be about this evening, and i'll send some messages to people who haven't yet sent stuff before i go. I've also got a few spares still here, so if anyone hasn't had one and wants me to send one of these on, then post on here tonight or email me (jmaclaren AT gmail dot com).

cheers lovelies

[trashpony]

Sorry it's taken me so long to post these up (been away) but here is one of the ones we received:

It's very tactile and has a frame and everything! Sorry the photo is so shit - it's very shiny

 

[trashpony]

And here is the other one

Very different - clean and smooth
Again - apols for v crap photo

Taking a very wild guess here, is the main colour black or a very dark grey?

sorry about the shinyness... but it was mostly done with thick gouache and would have run if any liquid came into contact with it (although that might have been great, damn!), so that's why it's been heavily varnished. It's been so long since I last painted all of my beloved acrylics had solidified into solid chunks of plastic, and I had to use the materials that my wife had saved from her time at art school. I did scan it before the varnishing though.

I love the shinyness! It's just difficult to photograph in a room with downlighters

Thank you (and I've always thought you were female )

Yes, sorry I'll do it today- been camping in the wilds of Norfolk so unable to post til now
