THE FIREFLY

I don’t know if this counts as an exhibition and i think most of it has been painted over, still a nice pub and still worth checking out. Early 2005 some good friends of ours took over the licence for an old pub in wiggly Worcester, now called the firefly. They invited us to come and get pissed for free and drawer all over the walls, sweet. If you’re ever in the shire pop in for a pint and check out what's left of our drunken artwork. The firefly, lowers more, Worcester.

CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR DINOSAURS

This was a live doodling experiment conducted in the custard factory gallery, during the two weeks leading up to Christmas 2004. We constructed five 4ft by 8ft “cards” strategically placed around the gallery. We then invited outcrowders to come armed with their pens, paint, glue and over active imagination to decorate the cards over the duration of the experiment, finishing in time for Christmas. These where then left over the festive period when all is quite, in the hope that dinosaurs could come and admire them in peace.

SUPERSONIC 2004

God bless the Capsule girls! I’ve worked with these crazy queens for many years, they commissioned us to make an installation in an empty shop space for their genius super sonic festival, we did some fun b&w paste ups round Digbeth too. Check out their web site for all the low down. We created our very own out crowd curio charity shop, for onlookers to gaze through the window to try to spot keeths’ drawings of dirty robots with massive cocks…

OUR FIRST SHOW

Our first exhibition was in Feb./march 2004 and was the first major exhibition of the outcrowd as we know it, initially it was to be a small- scale affair with skateboarding ditherers Si Peplow and Vaughan baker collaborating in our small coffee shop/galley. But something happened… I can’t recall exactly how it came about but the organic force of the outcrowd was spawned.

We ended up taking over the large gallery space in the custard factory, birmingham as well as our initial coffee shop gallery space with over 20 artists getting involved, music was supplied by our friends, Ross Spencer (check out his new album “egomute”) Calvados Beam Trio, Copter and Leonard.

The show was a visual onslaught, with Beat13 joining in with the launch of their comic, “Brainwashed” creating a veritable scribbling smorgasbord of eye candy treats
