There's a new shop that's opened in Stokes Croft- A shop so wonderfully fantabulously macabre and outrageously spectacular it will at some points, render you speechless.  Downstairs at The Vintage Market, hiding amongst the junk and the clutter, I have created a world of wonder and intrigue. A place where beauty and death come to life in surreal assemblage sculpture and wearable art. This amazing pop-up acts as a working studio, gallery and shop front.  Capturing the magical and the mystical,the absurd, the strange and the beautiful.  But there’s not much time to visit Stokes Crofts newest artist in residence. ... The formally squatted Old Motorcycle Showroom is currently finalising development plans. So,  for the next few months only, I will be bringing in a very unusual brand of art and fashion fiestas to the high street for a brief visual spectacle of aesthetic enlightenment. Come be delighted and excited by: ART  -  FIERCE FASHION-  TAX

Everyone’s favourite cult fox is finally in print- wear him with pride as he features on these limited addition t-shirts. Foxys’ famous face is based on a taxidermy puppet character from the cult musical Sing For Your Life . Ultimately he was a facetious, self-centred arsehole….and that’s why   everyone loved him.   The show was like marmite on crack. The first and only musical to feature an entirely dead cast in a hard hitting political comedy about animals rights…..ironically using real dead animal puppets.  Sounds disgraceful doesn’t it. It was that and soooo much more. This one hit wonder won hearts, minds and amazingly awards at Vault Festival 2015 and Edinbrugh Fringe Festivals premier for comedy- The Underbelly, with it’s own unique brand of tasteless humour, setting the world to rights under the guise of brazen entertainment. The reviews were astounding. Ranging from the great and the holy - Church of England To foul mouthed graffiti from

The fabulous Edwardian Cloakroom/Toilet will be the host of my first exhibition in Bristol. It's been a looong time coming and I have some new work to show for it.  WOAH. After a large chunk of life being taken over by singing, dancing dead animals   spreading enlightenment and comic genius, I hit a shit storm of whirling  creative despair.  But now i'm  bouncing  back to doing what I do best- Making some really beautifully scary stuff. Dead Pretty Shamefully I haven't made an  official  piece of sculpture for over 2 years.  But after moving away and having no friends, I got my head down. Without all the hassle, noise and constant distractions, objects began talking to me again and I  accidentally  started making new work.  It all started with this guy He was just a lonely skull face, shoved in the corner watching over me for years. . .Then one day he started making noises. He started telling me he wanted a new face... and a crown.    Sometimes

It's about time I jumped on the bandwagon of my own name and brought the animal magic to Bristol, with some extra special D.I.Y Taxidermy lessons. This mysterious and dark art is now easy and accessible with a workshop that proves you don’t have to be a scientist to perform your own experiments, you don’t have to be an artist to get creative, and you certainly don’t need to be a taxidermist to do some taxidermy…. Using basic materials and first hand knowledge you will be guided though the ins and outs of a less stuffy brand of Taxidermy, and in a few hours you could have a friend for life. These workshops will take place at my studio on Lincoln Street. The perfect place to immerse yourself in art, taxidermy and surreal weirdness.  All materials provided, no experience welcome. Places are extremely limited so please book in advance-You can do so by emailing me on this ridiculously long email:  charlietuesdaywinnergates@gmail.com Just in case you'r
