Band of Skulls bassist and vocalist Emma Richardson launches her first solo exhibition ‘Cruisin’ for a Bruisin” today, so we thought after making the cross-over from music into the art world, she might be keen to answer some of our pressing questions about the artistic and intellectual challenges she’s faced along the way.

Words & photos by Jim Pilling. Despite the name strangely reminding us of our Latin classes at school – wasn’t there always an image of a dead dog in the textbooks? And a phrase that we still remember to this day: ‘Caecilius est morte’ (the character’s father, not the dog). No? Just us? Ok, we... Read more
Words by Jim Pilling. Back in the day, music was a physical product – there was simply no other way – something that, here at Art Wednesday we are a little wistful for.

Miss Crofton (nee Georgia Campbell) was living in a very big, full house / borderline squat in Peckham when she met Katie,... Read more
Freddie Forsyth is a publisher and creative director extraordinaire but most importantly the driving force behind the Crack & Shine book series about the dark secretive world of graffiti. What started as a geeky passion project about graff providing an escapism to the commercial work life in advertising led him to starting his own agency,... Read more
Robert Rubbish co-founder of Le Gun Magazine and the kind of artist whose work (as part of the Bare Bones collective, or solo) just makes you want to chuckle, and makes you think at the same time. In one moment, it’s sardonic – the next, it’s sort of rock-and-roll and poignant at the same time.... Read more
This week, we sat down with Charlotte Jansen (an Art Wednesday contributor, no less) to discuss her new position as the director of No Way, a creative agency which deals with talented artists who are established, but who still need a helping hand in a world in which creatives aren’t supported as well as they...
