I saw this awesome little exhibition whilst in Leeds recently (well back in July). I can't remember all the details but something to do with a small group of crafters/illustrators. Amazing little bird boxs and patterned woodblocks - really nice asthetics to the little exhibition. I don't really have any more info other than the Art Galleries website, I really should pay more attention in future.

I managed to visit the current exhibition by Nigel Peake at Analogue books the other day. The photos above don't do the work justice and there aren't as many as there usually are on Analogue Books flickr page. There is a great amount of fine detail throughout the pieces of work - extremely engaging.
For anyone who hasn't heard of Analogue books, it is a great book shop for design with a little gallery space at the back. They have a great selection of Graphic design books, one off and small run publications. Most can be bought online at but what I love the most is they publish photos to give you a taster of each months exhibition. It's a great thing if you don't live in Edinburgh or can't get to the exhibition in time. There is also a large back catalogue of work from previous exhibitions which I highly recommend having a look through. Matt Swells, Drifting is one of my personal favourites.
I'll keep posting up on each new exhibition but the details for Nigel Peake is as follows.
