Yesterday I went to the Surface Gallery in Nottingham to sell some of my jewellery . Unfortunately, it wasn't very busy and I only sold one piece ... but I met Nicki Dennett (illustrator and printmaker) and exchanged some jewellery against some of her work.

I really like the print I got from her. It is called "Burger" :

It reminds me very much of my own series of fashion magazines photographs and I am very much looking forward to working more at it again ...

I really like her work, especially : Bag Lady, American Nightmare, So flippin' Happy, Zelda the perfect mother. I love their nasty-witchy side and the fact that ! I really like this sense of humour. Combined with a fashion style, to me they say a lot about the fashion world and its disturbing aspects ....
