We’ve been busy playing with our Gocco this week. Our first limited run available to buy is Bernard the Bear. He’s available in 3 different forms – Blue Bernard, Yellow Bernard and Lucky Dip Bernard. Blue Bernard and Yellow Bernard are limited to just 15 each, and printed on a fine quality printing stock. Lucky Dip Bernard is limited to 30, and printed on high quality coloured card stock for extra colour! They’re all individual, as the print quality of the Gocco is charmingly unpredictable, as you’ll see in these pictures.

Prices: AU$10.00 each (or £5.00 for those in the old world) plus postage and packaging (which won’t be much, as we’ll just stick him in an envelope along with some stiff card to protect him). We accept cash, and also Paypal for those overseas. Contact us for details of how to pay.

Colours: Blue Bernard – limited to 15 // Yellow Bernard – limited to 15 // Lucky Dip Bernard – limited to 30. Colours may vary.

Size: Print – 95mm x 130mm // Paper (varies slightly) – 185mm x 150mm approx.

We put on a small show this week – 17 images taken in Japanese Shoe Shops! They’re on show at 113 Reservoir St, Surry Hills. We’re pretty sure I snapped all of these, so the words alongside the pictures read something like this…

“I’ve always been fascinated with shoes, though mostly not in a kinky way. It’s probably something to do with the massive collection Mrs Harnwell Jones has in her shoe room at home. The lineup on the wall contains photographs of some of the wilder creations on offer in Osaka, Japan, which were taken by me whilst faithfully following her into 350 shoe shops in Dotombori and Shinsaibashi. Whilst she scanned the shelves, my faithful Nikon D40X snapped the stock – mostly covertly, as Japanese shoe shop assistants take offence at you shooting in their shops. Whilst she didn’t buy the yellow plastic ones featured in the lineup, she did buy a pair not featured – black, flocked brogues that smell distinctly like bubblegum.”
