.......to my first exhibition at a gallery. I know that the chances of anyone reading this that lives in my vacinity are next to nothing but maybe you'll be there in spirit. For the month of March I will have sole residency of a gallery in the village of Repton in Derbyshire. The plan really is to promote Digital art, and of course Bryce. The gallery is party of Repton College, which was used in the film "Goodbye Mr Chips". I'm hoping that I can promote Digital art to the schools pupils and also to whoever may pop in.
Just a mention of thanks to ICM, and Rochr who gave me permission to showcase some of their images to give an idea of what we as a community are capable of, when I put foward my pitch to secure a place. I should be ready by Monday so I'll post some photos of whats happening.

Congratulations!!

Thankyou, it is quite exciting.

Oh that is exciting, WTG Orbital! Australia is a bit of a drive for me coming from New York and all so I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the showing but I’ll be there in spirit. Would really love to see the pics. Congratulations!

I'm in the UK so all you need is a rowing boat and some strong arms!

Congratulations and good luck with the exhibition.

You see! I would’ve gotten lost anyway! LOL …sorry misunderstood your comment in the other post about changing Australian dollars.

Actually not too far away from me, but personal circumstances prevent me driving all that way, although I'd love to be there.

If you feel any of my pieces would help your cause, give me a shout.
Good luck with this.

How long's it running for?  I live West of Hull, but often travel down the M1 arresting illegal entrants in London so might be able to look in.

Ditto the Bryster as to using any of my pieces.

congrats!!! :)

You can't arrest Orbital! He may not be from this planet, but I've seen his passport.....honest, yessir!  Know him well.

Wish I were closer!  Please take a photo of your entrance banner/poster if you have one.

Congrats!!

Congrats Joe!

hey I would have given u a drink and a vegimite sandwich as u passed Downunder Quest :woot: congrats on the exhibition.

So your having an exhibition of your work!! In a real gallery!!! For a WHOLE MONTH!! That is so cool! Well deserved congratulations.
Unfortunately I live in Helsinki now (but from the Isle of Wight) so I cant make it, but I am there in spirit. This is so cool!!!!!!
Take LOADS of pics!

Congrats!!! I'll be there in spirit as I live way over in New York.  That would be a swim, a hop and a skip to get there. If any of my renderings in Bryce can be useful for you to show, you have my permission to show it like Bryster.

Derbyshire ? no problemo - I'll just get some of my U.S.M.C. buddies to get me an air lift  there and H.A.L.O. in to the area where a couple of S.E.A.L. buddies will arrange submersible transportation to the nearest Royal Naval Base and from there I'l hitch a ride - should be there in ten hours . . . Oh wait a minute ! ! ! I need to get a passport first through the U.S. Postal Service and if you've ever had to deal with them, you can imagine how long that will take  . . .

but seriously, congrats ! ! !   And yes I did see Mr. Chips once or twice I really would like to see that place but it'll have to wait until I pass probation on my new job - only 10 months to go ! ! ! crossing my fingers on that but we'll see.

Yeah, I won't be there ... but I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you ! ! !

I'd be there too if it weren't for the fact that I'm too broke to travel and I live in New York. I love England and would have loved being able to visit there and catch your gallery exhibition.  Can't wait to see some pics of the event. If by any chance I won the lottery last night, then I'll show up. :biggrin:

Someday, I predict, there will be a chunnell or however it's spelled like affair between New York and England. I only regret that I won't live to see that  (or for that matter Warf Drive. - yes I know.) 

Oh yes,  picts ! ! ! must see picts ! ! That would be wonderful ! ! ! !  

Woohoo! Congrats! great work, great idea! I wish you were having it in summer..i may be in London then.
Pics! please!

@ Paul, if you are going down the M1, you would come off at junction 24 the east midlands airport turnoff for the A50. From there it would take about 20 mins to get to Repton. If there is a day you feel you could make it let me know and I'll make sure I'll give you decent directions. It's on for the whole of March and I'll be there 2 days a week. But I'll be able to meet anytime that would be convenient for you. I'll shout you a pint and a sandwich if you did come!
Everyone else thanks for the support, and I'll be sure to post plenty of pics.

Nice going my friend, I hope it is succesfull.

I'm up and down the country at the moment and , oddly enough in Derby yesterday. Put me down for a maybe.

An exhibition of your work!.....thats really exciting news.....I had a few exhibitions of my work way back when I was painting on canvas and doing pastel drawings back in the 70s and 80s.....that was before the computer bug caught me. I wish the best of luck to ya and my spirit will be cheering you on in the background!

dangit...passport expired...well...have a good time, and congrats, you've earned it.

Airflamesred, if you want to drop by let me know!

Orbital-I shall. Thats uncanny I was at the Toyota factory  about 5 mins away.

Congrats indeed. Would love to attend but some left an ocean in the way. Take pics for after to let us see it please.

best of luck, sounds good. if i can make it i will (Kent based)

Nice one, Orbital!

I look forward to seeing the pic's.  That must be awesome to see your images displayed on a gallery wall.  Try to take some wide shots as well as up-close shots.  Those that can't be there will get a better feel for the place if you do that.

Great stuff!

Don't worry mate I'm gonna bore you all silly with Piccies. Heres one of me by the gallery, heres one of my wife by the gallery, heres one of an old lady by the gallery etc, etc.

................here's one of me with my two kittens on my shoulders at the gallery....

Ok this picture on my avatar is not me, and heres proof

but I could always dress up like that anyway.

Wow a gallery exhibition and an acting gig too!
Just kidding, lol.

I'm all ready to go, pictures are hung, names on the window. Tuesday night will be opening night so I'll post some pics soon!

congrats orbital. I hope u sell alot.

LOL...Bryster and Ang! Hey Orbital can I get your autograph? You forgot this one: www.amazon.co.uk/Trailer-Park-Boys-Movie-Region/dp/B000LE1E50/ref=pd_cp_d_h__3_img

JK! Have fun at the showing!

I counted all my pocket change, savings accounts, etc... an I'm a few bucks short of a plane trip but will be there if the lottery goes my way.  Put your show on the road and if it gets shown anywhere in the USA, I'll be there. 

Congratulation, buddy.  You better deliver on the photo

 Don't forget to mention that Derbyshire is a truely beautiful part of England.We have a great variety of landscapes,historical buildings and industrial heritage.
 And now we have the first Orbital exhibition...
One more reason to visit the county.
  Congratulations!

(we also have crap weather so wear a coat!)
 

To true Jed! I'd love to live in the peak district when I retire.

I've only been to England twice, but I pine to go back. I watch shows like Midsomer Murders just because I love to see the homes and towns and such. If I come across a book about England here at the library, I look at it and lament that I can't go back.
I may only be half English by birth, but I feel as if its home, when I see it. Heavy Sigh.
Funniest part to it all is that after I got back from my 2nd trip, I tried to find out where my great grandfather had lived and turns out, I never went thru the area he was from. So I have to go back, its a must, lol.

Wales just didn't do it for you then, Ang?
Oh well...heheh

Wales was lovely too. But I have to admit that my favorite area is the Cotswolds. Then just about everywhere else is a close second.
