Howdoyoudoos and "kweempiwb ip weew"

I thought it would be nice to make some introductions. Not just from me saying "howdoyoudoooo" but to connect anyone in the audience to some of the people whose aesthetic I am admiring of and by extension to introduce each of to each other.

Meet Peep and Gabi. Gabrielle Reith is a very fine artist indeed, her work has some very warm and nostalgic touches. It seems to be art created from a very warm hearth. Although her website is here ( http://www.g-r-a.co.uk/art.htm ) and full of lovely things, my favourite work was in her picture-a-day blog which I can no longer find - where has it gone?! Bring it back.

Peep is also a very fine artist and the consummate digital dandy, go see his video work here ( http://www.lepeep.co.uk/#video ). Not enough illustration though and where are your photographic experiments? Didn't you do some great nature images?

They also do this neat experiment of a typeface-a-week ( http://typefaceaweek.blogspot.com/ ).

Meet Rima and Tui. Also exceptionally nice people who are also exceptionally good artists. I cant really pin them down on style, so you'll soon be amazed with Rima's painting style here, somewhere in the midst of blog ( http://intothehermitage.blogspot.com/ ).

Tui is Orla Wren. Listen and support the work, very engaging soundscapes and there are only a few who can get away with that form in my opinion. You can see it here ( http://www.orlawren.com ) and hear it here ( http://www.myspace.com/orlawren ). In the same mind garden as Terje Isungset ( http://home.online.no/~isungz/lyd.htm ) and if you haven't heard of him, for shame.

If I ever get the time I will design a nice website for you both, your work deserves it.

Meet System.
You'd think it was totally different, being hyper urban graffiti installation - but I can see great parallels in all these artists. System would call it keeping it real but his tongue would be firmly in his cheek ("kweempiwb ip weew") - I would refer to it as authenticity. Go to the gallery here ( http://www.400ml.com/ ) but also have a look here at the full blog of installation work in progress ( http://www.agents-of-change.co.uk/ ).

And don't worry guys, I don't want a link back - my work is ugly and strange and rarely plays well with others; but the internet is a funny place and it seemed a nice idea to point you all at each others work.
