Don't - Stop - Thinking About Tomorrow!

After three years my time with The Wet Spot has finally ended. I’ve really loved working on the show, seeing all the performers, meeting loads of good people who came to watch and also everyone who worked at the venue. Thanks to everybody.

So that’s it. After three years, a shit load of work and twenty successful shows it has been a pretty amazing achievement creating such a popular event and something I'll always be proud of. Thanks again to everybody involved.

The show will be continuing but without my involvement, so don’t say I didn’t warn you when you miss my usual beast of a DJ set, hand-painted banners and artwork next time you go!




In no particular order here are my all time favourite artists we featured:

Anna Fur Laxis

Cat Aclysmic

Des O'Connor

Bijou Noir

Trixie Malicious

The Bees Knees

Betty Brawn

Missy Malone

Frank Sanazi

Cherry Shakewell

Missy Macabre



It’s time to move forward. I’ll let Fleetwood Mac have the final word…




Ta'ra!

Catman

If you didn't already know, Peter Criss is by far the best member of Kiss!

Midnight Special/Serious Sam Barrett

What better way to start the new year than by having an exhibition of my drawings in Liverpool with live music from the unbelievably talented Serious Sam Barrett on the opening night.

You Beauties!

Beyond the Pale

I have been working on my second book Beyond the Pale: the artwork of Kev Grey for the past 24 months and it is finally (nearly) finished. I can't tell you how pleased I am with how it looks and can not wait for it to be printed. Keep checking back in 2011 for news of its release!

In other news, I thought this photo of Alan's neck tattoo of my swallows would make a good final post for 2010...

Edgar Allan Poe

"I again plunged into excess, and soon drowned in wine all memory of the deed."

Hell yeah, Poe!

Badges

Free badges and a set of stickers (see post below) will be sent out with any order from my website.

You can't grumble with that!

Morrissey Manifestation

In November of last year I gave this portrait of Morrissey away as a gift and then a couple of weeks ago - almost a year to the day I drew it - I was having a few beers with the person I gave it to and she noticed there was a strong resemblance between the foam around the edge of my pint glass and my drawing. Spooky!

Noise Festival

I was asked to hand draw a set of postcards for an exhibition at Noise in Manchester. They're on display now and will be up for grabs at a one day auction on the 20th November.

Click here for more details.

I drew a human heart, a human skull, a human brain and... a human fly!

It's going to be a huge event with tons of old cars, here are a few of my favourites from last years show. . .

Bon Voyage!

After 18+ hours done over a period of two years (I also had to find a new artist halfway through the tattoo as I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the original tattooists work) my back piece is almost finished!
Still needs some more work on it to finish it off, but you get the idea. .

The Hot Spot

This is definitely one of my favourite flyers I've done so far for The Wet Spot..
