Hellohead Exhibition

Miss Led is one of the artists involved in the Hellohead project raising money for Autism. The 60 portrait swapping artists will have their prints on show in an exhibition organised by Lucy Joy and Rosie Shorter this month at Cargo, 83 Rivington Street, EC2, London on 22nd August. The exhibition is featured in Design week and looks to be an interesting event, with a silent art auction of all the prints, live portrait drawing, a pop up shop, plus an interactive set and lots more. More information can be found here.

Miss Led's Hellohead

Miss Led has taken part in the Hellohead project where a number of artists have paired up to paint or draw portraits of each other. Here, Miss Led has beautifully captured Lauren Crow. Miss Led says " I’m just one of 60 artists taking part across Europe. This includes some of my favourite illustrators, such as Elodie, Ruben Ireland and Conrad Roset. The work will result in a group show in London, some time in June. Proceeds from the originals and prints sold will go to the National Autism Society. This year, being the 50th birthday of the charity, is celebrating the theme of friendship. More on Hellohead.

Resources of Autism

Derek Bacon has had a print of one of his pictures auctioned recently, along with works donated by Peter Blake, Anish Kapoor and Mary McCartney.  Derek was asked by the charity "Resources for Autism" if he would participate in their art exchange, which he did!
