On Reccommendation by my tutor Richard Gray me and a few friends went for a look around "The Museum of Everything" located in beautiful Primrose Hill. I have to say it was quite refreshing to the usual well-put-together galleries that I've gandered around before. It was sunken into the walls of a library on Sharpleshall Street and was much smaller than I expected but little did this reflect the art that was inside. Incase, like me, you've never heard of this museum before it obviously doesn't literally contain everything but rather a random collection of art that is from a variety of artists whose art has been created without a professional objective, without the intention to sell or make profit. This is what is called "outsider art", and apparently my illustrations are in quite a similar style. On the outset this could be offensive but personally I loved the art that I saw some of it could be persumed immature in its presentation but that fact that these people do art for the love of it I find inspiring and its rough and raw attitude was actually very creative. Definitely go and take a look for yourself (i'ts free!) and don't be put off by the obscure warehouse layout, you won't be disappointed, I found quite a few artists that I can now look to such as Madge Gill who uses rather obsessive line which feflects my style at the momement.
