I'm back from my UK travels! I had an amazing, inspirational time. Thank you to all the supporters, especially Stolen Space Gallery, Corey Helford Gallery, and Richard Scarry from CHG!

 Nectar was a foray into a lighter tone of mood, more euphoric in terms of love & desire but still having a slice of sweet darkness. 

 Stolen Space is in the east end of London, at the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane. Known as Banglatown, it has lot of great curry houses and indian dessert shops, as well as a ton of graff & streetart.

D*face's studio is just a door away

Nearby is Chloe Early's studio.

 After the show I did some more exploring. A short walk away is the Tower of London, a huge fortress/castle that acted as a royal home and prison. 

Traitor's Gate, where Anne Boylen entered through.

They had an amazing exhibit of King Henry VIII's armor and weapons.

Some old graffiti of prisoners

Also within the Tower are the Crown Jewels of England. No pictures inside but I managed to sneak in a blurry one

Buckingham Palace

There are a lot of beautiful parks in London. :)

Covent Garden

This spot is just a short walk away from the Tate Modern in the south end.

The Thames River

The Royal Academy of Arts had an amazing Waterhouse exhibit.

After a week in London, I went from Paddington Station to Bristol for a few days.

Right across the street is the church where Jane Austen's parents were married in.

Maugder Modern Art Gallery in Bath had some great art

These sculptures by Emil Alzamora were great

 After a few days in Bristol & Bath, I traveled north to Edinburgh Scotland, a city where it's stone architecture has turned to black, so gothic, i loved it there!
