I recently saw an exhibition by Mark Hearld at the YSP. The work on show was a mixture of collage, prints, pen and ink and 3D pieces. I really like his illustrative style and depictions of animals in their habitat, the hare's a lovely.

I saw these examples of street art on DeMilked. I think they are all brilliant! Very clever use of everyday setting. Here are some of my favourites (it was hard to minimise it). Hope you like them too.

I visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park on Friday for a work event. We had a couple of hours to explore the grounds, galleries & shops. It was a cold crisp day and we had the place to ourselves. I started off viewing the Donna Wilson Exhibition - Donna is an award winning designer who's range consists of quirky knitted characters and silly illustrations. I've added a couple of my favorites at the top. The second exhibition, in the Underground Gallery & outside in the grounds was by artist Jauma Plensa, his work includes large sculptures in the landscapes & a curtain of poetry ( photo above taken by myself). His work is very tactile and encourages interaction. The hot chocolate in the cafe was also worth the visit.
