BIG cat launch at London Bridge station

(photo: @canitakethepicture)

despite the cold, wet, windy night hundreds of people came to see the launch of the BIG cat show, which was a lovely event full of lovely people

and we raised over £20k from the sale of just three (smaller) work prints from very generous folk there

BIG UP the BIG CATS

and big up everyone involved in the making of this show happen

hold for some thankyous:

belinda, suzanne, James, Fraser, Bryoni and EVERYONE else at the big cat sanctuary (too many of y'all to mention)

@broncolor for the brilliant lights I used to photograph the cats

Gary @dippinsauce for the amazing retouching of the cats

Andy and @pressonuk for the printing, plinths for the installation

@eizocolour @wellcomlondon and @jsragency for sponsoring some plinths

Peter and Paul and all @peterandpaul for design wonders

@networkrail and @southeastern railways for the epic gallery space

mr barnes who DJ'd for us

everyone who helped at the launch

those extra special peeps that dug deep in pockets for some generous bids on the prints

and everyone who came out on the night to make it a memorable, lovely launch

thankyou!

and HUGE apologies to everyone i DIDN'T get to speak to including my uncle ken and my brother mark and Nina or Ali

was quite painful for me to not get to speak to everyone who came to the show.

not sure how to improve on this next time

but people LOVED these

didn't get drunk and returned to the hometown by train without falling over OR losing my sunglasses, with friends mike and romana, chris and tracey that had come up special to see the show.

there will be more BIG cat events n' ting and more press about it to follow...

again, a BIG (cat) THANKYOU to everyone involved
