Danger! Fun Boys

January 7th, 2008 · Adam · No Comments

During my time at university I had the pleasure to meet some great contemporary illustrators. I am pleased to announce that a fantastic selection of these are putting on their very first exhibition. These gents are Tom Ashton-Booth, Ed Boyles, Huw Devine, Patrick Gildersleeves and Ben Summers better known as “Danger! Fun Boys”.

So if you like danger, fun, boys, grammatical inclusion and illustration then go along to the Centerspace Gallery in Bristol between 18th — 24th January 2008. The Gallery will be open from 10.00am — 18.00pm
