It was starting in december 2003 that you can buy his greatly paintings on the net.”

Nice item on ebay this week is a tribute to the legendary Martin Luther King.
This painting comes from the A Northern Soul crew and has 8 days left to run.

A cool tribute to a great man.

If you are out for a sroll through York this summer call in and see the paintings on display in Kennedy’s Bar.
More and more bar’s are selling artwork from up and coming artists which must be applauded.
A major step forward from the theme bars of the 80’s and 90’s.
The collection here are heavily glazed abstracts. The paintings are full of texture giving them a 3D feel.
Large pieces of art for around £300.00. Go on bag yourself an investment.

A fantastic Al Pacino tryptich as Michael Corleone in the Godfather.
This will look great on any wall.

DC Comics, the creators of the superhero comics, has ordered a New York gallery to remove pictures which show Batman and Robin kissing and embracing.

The Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts gallery was told it would face legal action unless it removed watercolours of the superhero by artist Mark Chamberlain.

“DC Comics wants me to hand over all unsold work,” said Ms Cullen.

Arts website Artnet was also told to remove the series homo-erotic images of Batman and Robin from its website. DC Comics have nothing to say.

Surely DC Comics must have better things to do with their time than this.

New contemporary bar and restaurant NY in Front Street, Chester-le-Street has opened it’s wall space to iconic pop art from A Northern Soul.
The theme will be based around New York culture.
From Sinatra to Biggie Smalls.
This adds to A Northern Soul’s other bar galleries, Hide in Yarm & Newcastle.
Please contact Jason on 0191 3893322 for info and reservations.

If you live in the North East of England you must pay a visit to The Baltic before the 29th August to see the Keinholz exhibition.
In all probability this will be the last time that you will have a chance to see this work in the UK for many years.
For me it’s a pity that the exhibition covers so much of his work in one space, as your senses are assaulted by too many pieces. Your mind can not clear one before you are confronted with another. This is a shame as his work is probably the most thought provoking around.
It must have been fantastic to take in these pieces over many years as they were released.
Still not to be missed.

Who can remember when shop signs were a work of art? All lovingly painted with no neon or Perspex in sight.
Well here’s a book that displays some of the best examples, but with a pun.
Surely only in Britain could we have a lingerie shop called Brief Moments or a fish bar called The Battersea Cod’s Home.
Well worth a read or visit the website at www.shophorror.co.uk

My favourite pop art team A Northern Soul are heading south for an exhibition celebrating Run DMC at the Adidas shop No. 6 in Newburgh Street.
The exhibition starts on the 18th September 2005 and runs for 6 weeks.
The exhibition is being co-ordinated by Hip Hop DJ Richio Suzuki.
For those of you not familiar with their work they are probably the top pop art team in the North of England and work mainly in iconic pop art.
I believe that this is their first exhibition in London so good luck to them.
I’m trying to get Rebecca from A Northern Soul to write a piece for me.
Obviously busy at the moment so maybe around the exhibition time.

After many hours trawling ebay for quality product I came across Urban Fine Arts.
Their work seems to be one of the best on Ebay at the moment.
The feedback is tremendous and the prices very realistic.
Has anyone bought their paintings??
