I'm really excited by the launch of "Little People" at Eyestorm. Below is an extract from Angie's blog on the Eyestorm website... "Today we’re launching six brand new exclusive prints from our very own genius draftsman Mark Hayward’s ‘Little People’ series. Read on to find out if he’s made a mini you... I’m not going to talk about how much I love Mark Hayward’s work for too long, as you regulars will have heard it all before. This new series of prints however, which are launching exclusively with Eyestorm today, really are pretty cool. Mark’s ‘Little People’ are in my opinion one of the artist’s strongest bodies of works to date, and the new prints – small in scale and affordable enough to collect – see Mark create little policemen, little firemen, little soldiers and little train drivers amongst other recognisable stereotypical characters, continuing his exploration of child-like figures contrasting with the responsible jobs they hold. Rather like a children's cartoon with adult references that go straight over the kids' heads, with this series Mark homes in on our child within as we make nostalgic associations with the imagery he creates. I'm pretty certain I had a red chopper with tassels on the handle bars and most definitely stabilisers as seen in Little Bike while growing up in the 80's; those younger than me may relate more to Little Police that sees the classic 'Cosy Coupe' car, traditionally in yellow and red, turned into an official police vehicle. The best thing about these works for me is that they remind me not to take life too seriously, and that we all start off the same, as kids playing games in a world of fantasy. The question is has much changed since then? I sometimes wonder…" See all six new 'Little People' here, available for just £75 +VAT each.
Who are your favourite "Little People"?  Mark Hayward Art is excited to launch a new range of greetings card with images from the increasingly popular, and sold out, "Little People" collection. Order yours now exclusively from Mark Hayward Art.com.  Double Take opened at Studio 3 Gallery last week in the University of Kent's new arts building. The show comprises a selection of works from the Royal College of Art archive, some dating as far back 1930 others as recent as 2011 and including Air-Raid from Mark's graduation show in 2009. The show has been selected and curated by students of the university of Kent under the guidance of Gallery Curator Ben Thomas... ‘Some works on display will challenge assumptions about prints through their scale, use of materials or through technique. The subordinate status of the print to other art forms is contested, bringing printmaking into play with painting, photography and digital design and animation,’ Double Take will be running until May and is well worth a visit with a great selection of work on show.
