Many years ago I did this giant mural in Ballymena. It was a kind of mash up of paste ups and painting and told a story of the Ballymena over the rainbow. I think that was the idea anyway. Image found in recent yahoomail cull. #streetart #pasteup #ireland #dinosaur #godzilla

I have been working on a new colourways for this image for a t-shirt fundraiser for @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social for our first exhibition in the new gallery. I have been scrolling through colours and trying to find something less harsh than my normal black and red and these colours are cute.

Today’s the day! A hoorah… 12–4pm, 28-32 Victoria Street, Belfast! Vid by @leoprints.bsky.social

Our art studio is moving to a different bit of Belfast city centre so I organised a small paste up outing with some of the artists on a wall I have been pasting on for the last while. It pissed down with rain but everyone came very colourfully dressed and for a minute we beat the terrible weather.

The time has come when Everyone Must Go (from our Marlborough House building). But before we do we're having a sale! Come and grab some bargains and giveaways on Sunday 1 Feb from 12pm — 4pm. Free city centre parking. Open to all. Good dogs are always welcome. 28-32 Victoria Street!

Members’ meeting.

Belfast city Hospital Tower block is celebrating 40 years of being a weird brutalist erratic on the Belfast skyline and I was commissioned to make some art for the exhibition in the hospital. The exhibition is called 40 never looked so good and runs until April. @belfasttrust.bsky.social

A constant…

Vault Artist Studios presents... A comic in 5 pages. In little more than two weeks, Vault at Marlborough House will be no more as our tenancy in this home for the last 2 years and 8 months comes to an end. Marlborough House was a temporary building for us as the site is due for redevelopment…

Some snaps of today’s ‘Belfast Pop Shop’ by @leoprints.bsky.social - more again tomorrow at Vault Marlboro House - 23-32 Victoria St Belfast!

A story in 5 Jpegs. Belfast Pop Shop is back and for the final time in @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social gallery as we have to move out in February. Who knows where (or who) we will be next year :) #belfast #art #ireland #popart #printmaking

I'll be up at the Vault Xmas Market again today. Hoping for more conversations like: 'Can I pay you in Euro?' 'OK. How come you're paying in Euro?' 'I won in a casino in Dublin' And: 'Do you know anyone who does mime in Belfast' 'Yeah, there's a guy called Grant doing mime behind you.'

Today is the last day of @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market in Carlisle church which means its the last chance to catch Godzilla Santa in the house of God :) #belfast #godzilla #belfastchristmasmarket

Some shots from Day 1 of our Christmas Market by our talented member and co-chair and professional photographer Kristi McHenry. We're doing it all over again today from 11am-5pm at Carlisle Memorial thanks to @bbtbelfast.bsky.social Food, drink, 80+ stalls, music, and no-AI generated 'art'. C U !

@vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market opens this weekend we got in the paper due to our anti AI stance. I know its not the New York Times but it is something. :) #belfast #noai

So pleased @markxa.com flagged up @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social show at Carlisle Memorial today & tomorrow. And v pleased to be buying from talented local artists

The Legendary Vault Christmas Raffle is already underway with dozens of super generous donated goodies.This year we have 6 enormous hampers of handmade art, crafts, textiles, food, theatre tickets and vouchers from all local independent businesses to be won.

We bumped into Mrs Claus in a shopping centre in the North Pole where she was trying to do a spot of Christmas shopping. She didn’t seem particularly impressed and is coming to the Vault Christmas Market to get her gifts made by human hands instead. Hurrah!!!!!!

When we founded @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social in the deep past of 2017 we did so with the idea that art could improve things, that art could build and enrich communities and make radical creative change to our home city of Belfast. #belfast #aislop #antiai

It is @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market this weekend and I have to build a Godzilla Santa Grotto in the Church for the event because I said I would but also building Godzilla Santa grottos is my calling... except I have a cold/flu and feel generally terrible :(

Some details from ‘All Welcome’ at Vault Marlborough House (28-32 Victoria St, Belfast). Show runs until the 12th of November — get down before 6 pm tomorrow.

‘All Welcome’ is open until 6pm today and tomorrow 12 November — the final day (12–6pm).

Every year I design the @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market poster and this year I was going to go with an abstract torn paper design like you might find on a billboard in Europe but as soon as I started the design it sent this way and there was nothing I could do to stop it. #belfast
