Rob Darch Graduated from UWCN, Newport in 2004 with a degree in Documentary Photography. Although aesthetically his work falls within the contemporary documentary practice, the themes behind the work are more poetic and conceptual in their nature. Creatively he is fascinated by the minutia of everyday life and achieving a sense of place in his work. He has had several solo and group exhibitions in the UK, and now after a long period of ill health is hoping to start working on some extended project ideas. More recently he has been exploring video film

The Joyful Bewilderment has been granted an extra month due to popular demand, so the exhibition will now be taken down on the 27th November. Rad news indeed!
The following works are available to purchase, and will make excellent conversational pieces at your swanky dinner parties, with your high flying chums.

We had a ridiculous turn out for the show. Reaching full venue capacity by 7.45pm we were informed that no one else could slip through the doors until someone else left. This sucked, and sadly meant that some people didn't make it inside, having queued for some time. For this we can but apologise. Please blame health & safety bollocks however.

Big thanks go to 
Here's a few snaps from the weekend just passed, 12 solid hours of graft, a continuous inhalation of fake shop air, pumping techno music? not to mention the most bedazzling lighting on the market, made this install a Royal ball ache. However, that said it looks better than Dungeons & Dragons and Trap Door fused together to create a childrens TV super pilot: The Trapgeon Of Fuckin' Bossness... perhaps? Oh & all four chumps responsible for this epic shindig are L/R - Lawrence Roper, Holly Wales, Marcus Oakley & Simon Peplow. Bonafide narcissism personified. Thanks to James for assisting Lawrence with hanging duties.
We'll be handing out 125 of these useful Tote bags on the opening night of the show, courtesy of Kara at

Above - debut album artwork created by 
EINSTELLUNG: a personal choice - to perceive the world through ones own eyes...Power, beauty, noise, melody, hypnosis, simplicity. Blending glorious monotonous Krautrock with melodic tones and heavy slabs of Sabbath riffage, whilst finding time to declare sonic warfare on those tinnitus victims who have passed the point of no return.
In its early years, Einstellung acted as an outlet for its four members from the day to day trawl of 9 to 5 living. A mutual appreciation of all things warm, loud and hypnotic initially lead to a 28-minute piece entitled Sleep Easy Mr Parker. The result was far too pleasing to be ignored and with a new found momentum the band moved from what was an idyllic escape, to a full steam locomotion assault. The first album, Wings of Desire is now available on Chatterbox Records. The second, as yet untitled album is part way through the writing stage.
First and foremost Einstellung enjoy each others company and through this have managed to accidentally create a little bit of sound. This little bit of sound has in turn spread and the warm glow is now seeping out of the derelict factorys of Birmingham and settling nicely in the ears of the believers. Word has spread quickly and labels and promoters from the UK, the USA and Australia have made contact with Einstellung. An encouraging sign considering every contact has been through word of mouth.
Wir sind einstellung, das das Bumsen Sie sind!
Einstellung are Steve Hough (ex-Cable Regime, Godflesh, Grover) on bass, Simon Rider (Ex Grover, Moneygods) on drums, Andrew Parker (ex-Katastrophy Wife, Sally) and Andy Smart on guitars.

I am a dead unicorn, shame my horn is floppy (that sounds terrible!) Anyway, what gets me up in the morning..? well, I guess ...I like trying to make pictures of things that no one could have possibly seen before. I'm not massively into drawing from observation. Why say 'this is a picture of my dinner', when you can say 'this is a picture of a headless lady surrounded by luminous ghosts preparing a banquet of edible pants'. That's much more exciting, I think. Does that make sense? - makes perfect sense Sophie! Anyway...hope you are well and have got over your hyper intergalactic wonderthon. Take it easy,

"I'm from Worcester but that place sucks, so I moved to London like everyone else! I never went to College or University, instead I willed away my time 
Let's here it for VALERIE!... "I just try to keep everything I do, whether it's client work or personal stuff, as close to one another as possible. That way people or companies I work for know that it's Valerie Phillips' work." Erasing the boundary between commercial work and fine art photography is one of the reasons she is so prolific at both. She has self published four books to date, and has had another recently published titled I CAN'T BELIEVE A GIRL IS PLAYING ME METALLICA. She also runs an art project disguised as a skateboard outfit called CHERRYVALE SKATEBOARD COMPANY with her sterling partner JASON GORMLEY
Beyond photography, Valerie loves horses and the moon and outer space pursuits and making books. When she's shooting she's usually armed with a Leica Minilux point and click camera or a digital Hasselblad. She makes her bed in New York and London but can't wait for any time she can spend in Hong Kong or Kansas. She's our kind of strong woman... inspiring us with the passion she brings to her work, her sharp eye, and her determination to do it her way.

SIMON TRUE IS A LEGEND! now this term is bandied about a little to often for my comfortability, but for Simon this label is deservedly justified. He doesn't have a website, because people just know, yes they just know.
SIMON PEPLOW lives within a delicately constructed vortex. He spends the majority of his days downloading information from a tiny cabin situated inside the Corpus Callosum region of his noggin. Characters are a fundamental part of his work, described by some as whimsical, cute and sinister in equal measures. He just wishes they were his friends. Simon co-founded the OUTCROWD COLLECTIVE

Stef Grindley aka OUTCROWD COLLECTIVE.
When skateboard art is being shown in Europe, STEFAN cannot be far away. Stefan “Gomes“ Marx has a unmistakable style and that's what an artist is about - when you recognize immediately what or whom you have in front of you. This artist from Hamburg raised eyebrows a long time ago with his works for several German skate companies and of course with his company LOUSIN LIVIN'. Under this brand Stefan produces in regular steps t-shirt editions that you can buy in skateshops. So if you find a shirt one of these days don't think twice, they'll never come again. Stefan has also had numerous publications printed through NIEVES.
SCOTT ORDINARY KIDSMEKANISM.
Sarajo works from a studio in Los Angeles that borders Thai Town, Little Armenia and Koreatown, with Guatemalan and Salvadoran bakeries nearby. The cacophony of hand-painted signs in a variety of languages serves as both inspiration and a daily reminder that the ordinary is often extraordinary and nothing is what it seems. A host of disparate vocabularies from the worlds of fine, folk and decorative art, including Persian minatures, Shaker trance drawings, Japanese ukiyo-e, and her Hungarian great aunt's embroidery, can be found wandering through Sarajo's images. Using open ended narratives, folk tales, abstraction and the juxtaposition of discordant images, Sarajo gives form to the human experience as she sees it. Her work has been exhibited in Galleries in Los Angeles, San Diego, North Carolina, Minnesota, New York, Rome, Venice, Naples and Australia.

Dear dear friend, modest magician, all round talented wizard, and a former beardy weirdy (pre. face rug craze) has this to say for himself. "I'm an artist officially known as ELECTRIC ESKIMO and I still spank the plank (skateboard, not masturbate! although i still do that too), now and then, when the opportunity arises.

"I'VE grown a beard that's two and a half feet long, and I feast on roasted blue-tits caught fresh from the tree. I drink creosote to get high and I ride a donkey to the marketplace. I think the world is about to come to an end. My eyebags are by Chanel, and my girlfriend is a bicycle. In the morning I arise to lick dew from a log, and rub sticks together to make shit. I have devised a system for living. Listen to the groan of my plumbing and the gush of my waterspout. I emerge from my tarpaulin as white as maggot to face the new internet dawn and read the newspapers online. My investment products are growing above the rate of inflation. I'm laying down some supplies for when I'm invalid."

With commissions from Southern Comfort and photographic work published in Dazed and Confused, Vice, Blowback and Fused magazines. 2007 also saw Chris gaining a prestigious 4Talent Award, set up by Channel 4 in the UK.
CHRIS BOURKE runs SPINE SKATESHOP & GALLERY in Worcester. He predominantly works in black and white lino prints and produces skateboard graphics for UK companies Death and A THIRD FOOT and Consolidated in the US, which are often based on his lino print work. Chris is also a proud affiliate of the OUTCROWD COLLECTIVE.
BRENT WADDEN paints, draws & sculpts a ton of shapes...actually the reality is, this Nova Scotia College of Art & Design schooled, now Berlin based artist seems more intent on creatively birthing Neo-Geometry Grand Guignol. By showing an undulating concern for re-building girth. Wadden mutates the minimalism of solid modules into splattered puzzlic monsoons of flooded surface edges. the familial approach to his body of the work obsesses an internal rhyme & infernal reason that speaks a vibrational cypher language or maybe even gives sight to a visual binary of his current laundry list, physical history or Canadian family tree. - Text by Christopher Norris/Steak Mtn.
