07-08-2008Get Involved part 1
Over six months in and going strong. The gallery home page is for new work, ideas, sketches, images, projects etc Artists and Designers on the directory have created.
But we want more…
If you are registered on the directory, whether a fine artist or commercial design studio, take a moment to think of the last project you did or completed recently. It can be an experimental piece or a finished artwork - a sketch, project, website, photograph or a corporate identity, you get the idea. Send us a jpeg and background info (if possible) and we’ll do the rest. If your not sure, drop us a line.
Artists and Designers like Malcolm Attryde and Paula Groves have benefited from over 15000 hits to the gallery, showcasing and promoting their work.

Our Teenage Cancer Trust project.
The blue and white graphic images you see on the gallery page are part of a collaboration project between Steve and artists/designers in the directory. More on this and how to get involved to follow.
