I'm delighted to have been asked to take part in Frankophillia
Opening event: Tues 16th Nov, 6-8pm
Chapman Gallery, University of Salford

"Earlier this year, fans responded to the sad news of the death of Frank’s creator, Chris Sievey, with a touchingly creative mourning. Images of all kinds of Frank-inspired objects made their way on-line; artwork made in response to the news, or years previously out of sheer Frank-love.

'Frankophilia!' will bring this creative mayhem under one roof to revel in its heartfelt daftness; a multi-media ode to our beloved Frank."
