For the last 5 years Chris and I used the wall space in Spine to run a little gallery and enjoyed putting on shows for friends and artists we admired. It gave Worcester a much needed, independent outlet/venue for local artists and gave us the opportunity to put on shows by artists from outside of the city.

Here’s a sample of just some of the shows we had over the years. RIP Spine.

Shows:

  • Curious Creatures, a group show and zine featuring illustrations based on the titl

    e. Artists included Jeremyville, French, Dave the Chimp, Jon Burgerman to name a few.

  • Chris Johnson, skate photographer from Worcester who went on to become Staff Photographer for the UK’s Sidewalk skate mag.
  • Robert Darch, photographer and now filmmaker.
  • Kev Grey, from Liverpool, black and white tattoo and comic book style illustrations
  • Log Roper, from Birmingham, paintings and prints based on family and personal nostalgia
  • Simon Peplow, formerly based in Birmingham, paintings, prints and illustrations
  • Phlegm Comics, prints, comics and comic illustrations by Sheffield based artist.
