Other Events
Now - until the 6th January 2018
Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne
Web. - townereastbourne.org.uk
I'm not suggesting you travel any distance
to this for any toy possible content, as most of the exhibits are more
mainstream 'art' fare, but if you are local it might be worth a punt for any
other works by Tony Cragg if the above is anything to go by. I can see a few
toys in the . . . collage, work, heap? And they are presumably all pre-1978
items!
Any one of us could do a rainbow carpet,
thicker too, but all in figures!
...●==================◦●◦==================●...
Missed!
These flyers were much in evidence at
Sandown Park last Saturday, but it's a bit late for getting on the Internet for
a show the next day, no one is going to rush home and late-promote your show,
after an early start and a long-day getting a sore throat under that
air-conditioning! Better luck next year guys; try a week or two before the
show?
...●==================◦●◦==================●...
If you are
an event promoter/show curator/auctioneer and you want your toy, model,
collectable or popular-/youth-culture type sale/exhibition/event listed here - FOR FREE - or
linked to; please eMail me -
maverickatlarge[at]hotmail[dot]com
- stating
the date/s of the event, address of event, contact details, opening/viewing
times, admission pricing and any other relevant facts/details or features -
parking, travel notes, disability access, availability of refreshments, event
subject matter &etc.
And please
mention any flyer-art or poster-/leaflet-scans but send by separate eMail, in
case they go to the 'junk' folder,
from where they can be recovered and marked safe, but only if I know they're
there!

Toys in the Media
From the 'i' (9th Oct. '18), illustrating
some dry piece on social-mobility with regards to educational attainment! It's
a poor advertising agency or photographic studio that uses the HK copies off of
evilBay, over the original Preiser or
Noch we normally see in kinds of
shots! Although, as Small Scale World was part [unwittingly] of the original
publicity by the pirates, I should probably keep my head down on this one!
Piggy Bank! Also from the 'i' (1st Sep.
'18), this was in an advertisement for inheritance tax avoidance advice or
something equally thrilling.
Other News
Get painting - if you live in Kansas!
New Zealand - wacky place; you're looking for images 7 & 8 in the slide-show at the bottom of the piece!
