Get your tat out – completely random Dolphin fun.

get-your-tat-outTonight, I have finally got round to putting about three months worth of pictures onto my computer. I stumbled across these two photos. From the floor I can deduct that these pictures were taken in the Dolphin. However I have no idea who the photos feature, so if it’s you please get in touch!

Drunken fun in the Dolphin
East London antics in the Dolphin, Hackney

On the same night this photo was taken of me and my friend Keely. If any of you Hackney folk have ever been to the Dolphin you will understand the drunken, glazed look of the eyes and the photos of a random man’s tattoos…see you there on Friday for a Jägerbomb or three?

 

Art Love – Terry Bradley.

Terry BradleyTerry Bradley was born in Belfast in the 60s. His Mother used to try and keep him from “Troubles” outside their front door.

Bradley’s escapism from a troubled Belfast came from reading Hergé’s Adventures of Tin Tin. His art is influenced by the black lines of the vivid illustrations in these tales. He often imagined travels and the exotic world beyond the realities of Belfast.  Bradley discovered that drawing calmed his nerves and he could lose himself in the complexities of observing people and then recreating them in his own way on paper.

Terry’s interests lie in both art and fashion. Ever an eye for the aesthetic Terry opened his own clothes shop in the trendy university area of the city. The shop was named Retro and soon became a leader in fashion for the clothes conscious of Belfast City.

Terry is a multi-talented man and his collaborative work means that his work goes beyond the painted canvas. Take a look at his projects here.

Here is a selection of his beautiful work.
