'One of my studio mates is moving out of our studio in Bermondsey in November and myself and George Colley (who also did the drawing year) are on the lookout for someone to fill the space. 

It is rather short term as the studio block will be turned into flats next year so we will only have the space till March 2015 but it is a very nice, large space with plenty of natural light  and nice views over South-East London. It is very close to Bermondsey Street and not far from London Bridge or Bermondsey Stations. The rent is about £120 per month and will be shared with George and myself - both drawing year alumni.'

Direction Map

Daniel MacCarthey

Dan MacCarthy is setting off on a pilgrimage of sorts to Santiago de Compestela. Starting from a Marina in Ipswich, he will sail to the city of Gijon with three others and from there make his way, as much as possible on foot to the pilgrimage city. He will be keeping a drawing journal of the walk which he will upload upon its completion. Once he has left the city of Santiago de Compostela, he will return by boat from Bilbao to Brittany and from there by more conventional transport back to the UK. In order to finance this trip he has made a series of small paintings and prints. These can be found on his website: http://danielmaccarthy.tumblr.com/
If you would like to help him on his way and buy something please email him at daniellouismaccarthy (at) gmail.com and he will remove the image from the gallery. This may not occur until he disembarks in Gijon or elsewhere along the route. The work will be delivered or posted to you as soon as he returns in September.
