We last wrote about the Beermat Character project by Inkygoodness in August last year, and since then it has been joined by Ammo Magazines Poop Deck project, has been exhibited at the Coningsby Gallery in London and is now online for all to see, and buy. There are many Midlands artists in the exhibition, including Ed J.brown, Michelle Turton and Jim Rogers.

If you don’t know much about the Birmingham born project then watch the following video’s below that show the framing process by The Framers based in the Custard Factory, the print process of the Poop Deck Project playing cards and a video showing the exhibition space transformed from an empty gallery to a busy launch night.
