Exhibitions are where people show off their work, old or new, sometimes in a museum, and other times in an art gallery. I’ve had lots of exhibitions, plus lots of other events. I even won some awards!
The ‘Behold!’ Room, Horsfall Gallery, 2022
“A trick on the people to make them think they are in another dimension….”
Yep, the quote said it all. I had been suggested to make my own project at the Horsfall. So I gained an idea of one, I called it: The ‘Behold!’ Room! And I must tell you: It's got anything in 2d and real life together at the same time! A couch that's blended in the background, a fake television screen on the wall, a table that looks like a bull, a gramophone with eyes and a tongue, a Luxo Jr. knock-off, a flat cat with glowing green eyes, a fake scarecrow and bird, an upside-down twin picture frame of me, a single picture frame of a piece of art I called ‘Watevra Wa’nitobi’, a welcome mat-sized grass, a 2d stick-on of a flower in a pot on a joint-together 1 legged table, and even a wooden cut-out of cartoon me which you can take selfies with!
’Until It Looks Like This’, People’s History Museum, 2022
Well, ‘Until It Looks Like This’ is the name of an exhibition, located in the People’s History Museum. And guess what? My Horsfall masterpiece is part of it! Absolutely all of it!! Twas transferred here so it can attract more enthusiasts.
New Bridge Project, based residency for Slack Radio’s ‘Blazing Worlds’, 2022
I don't remember being asked to have my podcasts edited together for Slack Radio. So, sorry, I couldn't tell you about it….
Justin Podcasts, Manchester Contemporary, 2021
Since I start making me own podcasts, they starting putting them on display at this Manchester Contemporary.
‘Completely A Hustling Place’, Central Library, 2021
The name was my idea. And it's for that Venture Arts Exhibition at the Manchester Central Library. I had a few things of my own there. The ‘The Moon’ Cartoon and newsletter copies of The Ordinary But Artistic Young Man Vs. The Lockdown.
The Lowry, Salford, 2010 - 2022.
Every year, V. A. puts students’ artwork in exhibitions to show off to everyone who come here. And I’m part of that! I feel proud of my work in an exhibition. And my family comes in to see it.
The Summit, Project Ability, Glasgow, 2015.
I was part of the European Art Summit 2015, where I displayed work with Venture Arts studio. I displayed one of my cartoons, and all of my character drawings. And there were people from all over Europe there. I also took part in some workshops and listened to other people talking.
Create For Autism Animation Award:
I was awarded with it for making my New York cartoon. This was a comic strip which I made into an animatic. I did the voiceover and added one real sound effect to it!
The Youth Buzz Award:
I was awarded with it from the Mayor at a special ceremony for making a stop-motion animation for Manchester City Council. (Click here to watch the award winning animation!)
The Manchester Day Parade:
Since 2012, I have entered this parade that celebrates Manchester Day. I helped make the costumes, and I joined in with my dad and his dad and my friend. It was quite busy, but I enjoyed it.
