Send Me A Postcard Darling is an exhibition of postcard-sized art, which features the art of over 50 artists. The show follows an open call for submissions, which offered the chance to exhibit 2 postcards for £10, or for £50 the chance to exhibit as many postcards as can be fit in a 1m square. 50 artists have got involved, most at the £10 level (myself, being that regretful combination of both poor and cheap am in that category and will have two postcards up).

There’ll be a wide range of styles on show — everything from ink work like my own, to comics, landscape painting, photography, and hopefully some interesting 3D work. I expect there'll be different standards of work up there — contributors cover the whole spectrum from established artists to dedicated hobbyists. Also, to add a little celebrity flavour to proceedings, Melissa Auf der Maur (she used to play in Hole and Smashing Pumpkins) has contributed two photographs.

I'll be down for the opening night on the 22nd, handing out hastily handmade business cards and keeping my fingers crossed that someone is willing to pay money for my postcards.
