Setting up shelving, ready to fill with goodies, including the Gorgon sisters from Katy Parrett

And a corner full of work from Simon, ready to go up on the wall.

Julia Pott in the Shoppe

The super talented Julia Pott has sent 6 of these lovely prints to the Shoppe. Julia is popping up in all kinds of places lately- right now she can be found on her blog, over in her shop, and her fabulous animation 'My first Crush' is in the Aniboom competition- go vote for it here.

Setting up shoppe

We started to set up the shoppe today.Look out for cool stuff by Johanna, Katy and Camilla.





Here is mine on the gallery wall. You can get an idea of how big and bright they are but there better when your there. I've put more pictures on flickr for now if you want a better look. But i think its going to be worth coming down to the sea side to experience the whole thing with the art and the sweets in the little gallery by the side of the rusty Birnbeck pier.

A visit inside...

Our lovely upstairs neighbours

On Sunday we went and took a look at the inside of the future home of The Mythical Beast Sweet Shoppe. After many visits where we had been restricted to pressing our faces to the window it was really nice to finally get inside and see what we had to work with. The space has recently been repainted by the volunteers who run 'The Friends of the Old Pier' upstairs, and the white wooden walls, with black beams were all sparkly in the sunshine.

Gunilla Jähnichen

A package of beasties arrived in the mail today- all the way from Germany. Gunilla Jähnichen has sent over three framed postcards and some copies of her new book of drawings.

The framed pieces will be selling at £30 each

and the books go for £17

Work will be for sale in The Mythical Beast Sweet Shoppe UK, when it opens it's doors on September 12th, and then it will also be available online.
