// PICS FROM "OFF THE HOOK" AUCTION LAUNCH PARTY!!!!

The kids over at 33 mag were cool enough to take some nice pics of the launch show at off the hook, check all of them out HERE
(some of the clockfaces look a little crazy, that's just cause the camera sometimes picks them up half way through a cycle, rest assured they all work like champs!!!)

// SO FAR SO GOOD!!!!

The show at "Off the Hook" was killer last night, the turnout was awesome and the feedback about the caliber of the artwork was top notch. We will get up some pics of the event in the upcoming days.....I will also be updating some "crisper/cleaner" images of the clocks on the auction site as well as soting out the links etc in the next few days....Stay Tuned and happy bidding!!!

/// WE ARE LIVE!!!!

/// CARL WHITE

LOOK WHAT JUST ROLLED INTO THE REKOGNIZE OFFICES.
ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF CLOCK.
THIS CLOCK COULD EASILY FIT YOUR LIVING ROOM, WHICH IS TOO BAD CAUSE I'M GETTING KIND OF USED TO HAVING ALL THIS ART IN MY OFFICE.

THE TITLE IS 3:33 AND ITS OIL ON CNAVAS.
HERE IS HOW CARL DESCRIBES IT.

"the artwork itself is about mathmatical beauty the holy trinity and smith grinds - I think?"

/// JAMES BRAITHWAITE'S CLOCK

Lucky for us we just go another clock hand delivered to us, I let Mr.Braithwaite hi-jack the keyboard for a moment when he was here:

"I dropped by Furni today (near Castle Donnington), and left my clock with our wounded friend, Mike "southpaw" Giles. I saw some of the other pieces that have rolled in and things are looking pretty awesome. James Kerr's piece is a bizarre comment on pedophilia and its relationship to daytime television. Truly revolutionary stuff. Minds will be blown.

Also: I just finished a film with rag-tag group of pirates. Go to I MET THE WALRUS to see the resulting mess." (You should seriously follow the link, the animated short is mindblowing)

/// JULIAN'S CLOCK

We added Julian Garner to the show only a few weeks ago, Taking a look at the clock that he did makes me wonder why we didn't have him involved from the start! Another great piece to add to the auction!

/// NATAS'S CLOCK

It's not every day that you can contact someone who's name you've been around for almost 20 years (Natas was in every sk8 mag when I was a kid) and ask them to do you a favour. Well Natas ain't everyay people. I am seriously honored to have some of his art in our show/auction.
