Hayride and other adventures…

Hey all,

Last weekend i was at the Hot Rod Hayride, possibly the most fun weekend you could ever have! I had a little stall on the Sunday morning and sold lots of my work and met some truly lovely people! I also made a trophy for the Best Gal Hayrider, so i’ll let y’all know when i find out who the lucky winner was!

A big thanks to everyone who makes this event so great especially the lovely Anna Stevenson! See you all there next year!

I´m still alive and kicking!

Hello webfolk!

Apologys for the extreme lack of post in the last few months. I started a new day job and also took on a load of freelance work so time has been a bit short! I’m going to attempt to keep on top of this a bit more now! So expect more updates in the coming weeks! Also if you are on facebook head to my fanpage www.facebook.com/clumsykate for more regular updates!

In the meantime, if you live in the South East come to this! I´ll be there with More Brains Vicar, Von Leadfoot and Ben Nuthink, having a little stall!

 

And if you are off to Bottrop Kustom Kulture next weekend, gimme a shout! I’ll be there as a punter, and also reviewing the event for Milkcow Magazine! We can have a beer and some German sausage!

 

Till next time! Clumsy x

Rad Dad Collective Interview

I was recently contacted by the guys from Rad Dad Collective, a neat little blog about Artists, Skateboarders, Photographers, Urban Explorers, Street Urchins. Anything to do with the “Scene on the Streets”.

They had bought one of my tee shirts I designed for The House skate park in Sheffield, and had tracked me down via a chance encounter with a friend of mine in a pub in Derby!

Anyway, we had a good old chat and they asked me some damn good questions! Head to Rad Dad Collective to see the interview in full, and check out their cool site!

Puttiki Loser Spoon

Back in August I exhibited at the UK’s premier Tiki Weekender, Puttiki, in Hastings UK. Part of the festivities includes a round of adventure golf. I lost spectacularily, without even realising just how rubbish I was until the end. I blame the bar that was artfully placed at the seventh hole!

The next day, the winner was presented with a fabulous trophy carved by the super talented Trader Tark. And the loser was presented with…er…nothing. So, I vowed on the spot to make a Clumsy Loser Spoon, so that next year’s loser has something to look forward to. So here it is!!!!

Loser SpoonLoser Spoon close upI gave the loser spoon to Puttiki’s organisers (Los Furias Tiki and Lady K Loves) as a Christmas present! Hopefully it will soon be hanging in Hunny Lu Lu’s Tiki bar, in Hastings.

To get your name on the spoon, just rock up to next years Puttiki and down as many cocktails as you can! See you at the bar! x

Kustom Kristmas is nearly here!

I’ve been pretty slack at updating the blog recently and part of the reason for that is I have been organising an amazing event in Holloway. London. Kustom Kristmas is going to be spectacular! Taking place on the 5th December from 1pm til 11 pm, Kustom Kristmas features the cream of London’s alternative crafters, makers and artists.
Come and celebrate Christmas in style at Kustom Kristmas, have Sunday lunch, and peruse the stalls featuring one of a kind Christmas gifts, jewellery, home wares, clothing and greetings cards. Our Art Korner features emerging Kustom, Lowbrow, Tattoo and Tiki artists, and Live painting and Pinstriping. Entry is free, and there will be live bands Voodoo Bones and Dead Sails, plus DJs playing Rockabilly, Rock N Roll and Punkabilly til closing time.
The Horatia is conveniently located 5 minutes walk from Holloway and Highbury & Islington Tube stations.

Come down on the day and get all your Christmas presents sorted! I’ll be hanging out in the Art Korner so come say “Hi” and buy some Clumsy goodies!

The poster illustration was a collaboration between myself and Von Leadfoot Pinstriping, and the Poster design was done by my Kustom Kristmas co-organisor, More Brains, Vicar?

Rhythm Riot Vintage Surf and Skate Expo

Last weekend I headed down to Pontins Camber Sands for the Rhythm Riot weekender. I had been invited to their first ever Vintage Surf and Skate Expo to decorate a skate deck over the duration of the weekend. I’ve done plenty of live art at events like this, but this was special, as they gave me premission to do my wood burning thang! It was so much fun and the response from visitors to the show was really good! I hope I can do more events like this in the future. Here are some piccies from the weekend! Enjoy x
