Customised tambourines for sale!
For those who missed it, I recently took part in an exhibition of customised tambourines called The Tamperine Project. They’re all up on eBay now, including a bunch by celebrities and other artists.
The first of mine was part of a René Magritte inspired wall mural and is currently at £25.
The second one was part of a wall mural featuring Listener lyrics and is up at only £3!
They’re both signed on the side and there’s only 4 days left to bid, so you could grab yourself a piece of one off original art for a real bargain. They will ship them worldwide too.
And of course all the proceeds go to the great charity Sound It Out.
Here’s a few photos of Sound It Out’s tamperine exhibition that I’ve been helping to put together for the last few days. The walls are covered in work by West Midlands based artists who have included their tamperine in the wall piece.
I drew a massive long trail of lyrics and quotes that winds it’s way around the room.
Craig Earp drew some crazy alien/sci-fi imagery.
Lucy McLauchlan has filled a whole section of the room with amazing black and white painting. She also did my favourite 10 tamperines.
And Log Roper painted a huge portrait of Levon Helm, complete with tamperine eyeball.
A bunch of celebrities have also made tamperines which are the ones hanging in the centre of the room.
They’re all up for auction (ours included) on eBay for the next 9 days to raise money for Sound It Out. It’s a brilliant cause, so get bidding. Gervais’ one is already nearly at £1000!
If you’re in Birmingham you can also go and check out the exhibition at the Mailbox until May 26th.
