Bob Dylan The Drawn Blank Series

I must apologise for the closure of the gallery on Monday this week.

We closed because we were in Birmingham at the ICC for the trade launch of Bob Dylan's much anticipated hand signed limited edition graphic prints from The Drawn Blank Series.

Before I mention Dylan we called in to the Head Office of Washington Green to collect a Nadeem original and had the chance to browse through all the originals that they have. I was like a kid in a sweetie shop, so much to choose from - I eventually chose two new Philip Stuttards - all I will say is ... fishing and conkers (but not together) - I hope you like them - I think they're cracking!!

Whilst there we bumped into Mark Spain who was dropping of some of his originals and saw the man himself - Glynn Washington - with whom we were able to have a chat later that day. He is very excited about the Bob Dylan launch and truly believes that this is the start of something very special!

Well, Diane & I had lunch and made our way to the ICC where we had a champagne reception (orange juice for me as I don't drink!!). Had a chat with some friends who were there who also have a gallery and then we were ushered into the room where we sat spellbound for 3 hours listening to the story of how this collection came about.

At the end of the presentation we were ushered down to The Halcyon Gallery in the ICC to see the images in the flesh - wow, we were blown away with them! What a collection - some favourites it must be said but something for everyone!

We both looked at each other and realised that we needed to top-up our order as this has the potential to be the biggest thing to hit the art world in years.

The amount of worldwide press attention focused on this will be huge and we wanted to put The Acorn Gallery and Pocklington not just on the map but on the world map!!!

As I write this we are one week away from the launch date 14th June and excitement is building...

...we have sent out over 200 invites and if you haven't got one and you would like one then please pop in, ring or email us.

Our Dylan campaign on Google is receiving massive hits and we have a list as long as my arm of people who have expressed an interest in this superb body of work.

This truly is a rare chance to own a superb piece of art by one of the worlds most iconic singer-songwriters - a legend in fact and to have it hand signed by Bob makes it even rarer!

We have had people from all over the UK ringing us to be a part of this - if you haven't yet done so then do please register your interest - even a £10.00 brochure could prove to be a collectors item!!
