Lawless 2022 - Gallery of Original Art
Lawless 2022 had a gallery of original comic art and other illustrations. Classic pieces that formed the pages of the comics that entertained generations of children (young and old). Curated by artist Graham Bleathman who had brought pieces from his collection. BP's own Neil brought a few of his own so it is with some pride we present our record of this temporary but still glorious of exhibition spaces.

Mike Collins @ Lawless 2022 draws DESTRO (GI Joe / Action Force)

Since Mike has provided the cover for Action Force Volume 2 (another Kickstarter exclusive) his contribution was at the end in the form of an advert for the second book!

Wallace & Gromit BUILD YOUR OWN KITS - London Toy Fair 2023
If someone said cheese would you think of an onion or just smile? Well if you were a fan of Aardman Animation's Wallace & Gromit it would definitely be the latter.
So imagine Neil's enthusiasm that he returned to The Toy Fair 2023 in order to revisit the stand of Paper Engine. A company with a fine line in STEM paper and card kits that happened to be unveiling a series Wallace & Gromit build your own models.
So please watch and maybe like(?) Neil's video where he is given a tour of the Toy Fair stand by Geff Newland, Paper Engine's creative director, and they both forget the title of the third outing of the Wallace & Gromit series...
