Mesh at Shoreditch House with Scrawl Collective
























Well this post is a bit later than it should be so apologises for that I've been struck down with really nasty throat infection, not nice :(
Anyway I went to the vet and he gave me some penicillin so I feel better now, yay!

On the 17th of this month Mesh minds teamed up with Scrawl Collective to create an evening of fun for the creative community at the super dooper cool Shoreditch House. So Louise Taylor (my very talented creator who hand-made 300 of me to send out to specially selected folk in the advertising world) and I thought we'd go along and check it out... oh get me!
On arrival we enjoyed a complimentary Ivan The Terrible vodka cocktail and then went and had a chat to the brilliant Scrawl Collective street artists Will Ainley, David Walker and David Dixon (Dist One) who were drawing bespoke illustrations live as we watched and selling them for a bargain price of £20, what a treat!

For those of you who haven't heard of Mesh Minds check them out at www.meshminds.com
They're a collaborative network connecting the arts and business worlds to promote investment in the arts.
They're an invitation only network (so not just any old Tom, Dick or Leicester!) so you'll have to try and find someone who's already in to recommend you failing that they do allow non-members to attend events for a slightly higher fee, next one is on the 16th May, quick get your ticket!

For those of you who don't know Scrawl Collective check them out as well www.scrawlcollective.co.uk
An eclectic mix of street artists whose styles vary enormously but one thing holding them together is their “Hand B4 Mouse” motto they all favour the hand made approach which gives them a raw urban edge.
They've always got cool exhibitions going on, they were in LA in Jan! So check out their website for the latest news.

Ta Ra for now
