First Blog!!

So, What to say!!!

I am going to try and make this Blog all about the joys of art collecting, without being too "Preachy". I will talk about day to day, mundane things, as well as try to give a little bit of education to those that desire it!!!
Quiet day today here, think the kids running amok, coupled with the blazing sunshine outside, has deterred would-be collectors from our door. But we remain resolute in our objective to bring the glorious world of art collecting to the masses. It can be hard on days such as this, to find the will and desire to fill our days. David, the Gallery Manager, is cleaning the frames of the artworks, while checking the myriad of e-mails he receives every day. I, Brian, have decided to start up this little venture of blogging, to inspire you people out there to come and say hi to us. I guess I should formally introduce the clan here in the gallery.........Pictures to follow........maybe!!

David - Our glorious leader,Our Rock, the man in charge. Always to be found cleaning, answering e-mails and speaking to the public (A task he does very well) He has unbridled passion for his job, and after 5 minutes in his presence, you will feel it too. A nice guy and a good boss.

Brian - That would be me!! If you want to know which one I am........just look for the blonde guy that has a can of Red Bull Attached to his hand. Yes, I know it's a bad habit, but I like 'em. I used to work in the U.S and was a Fine Art Auctioneer for a while. Crazy......Perhaps. Over energised....For sure. Passionate..........Yup!! I Love toys and tech, girls and fun. I am married to a lovely lady named Kelly.

Helen - To describe Helen as Mumsy would be correct.......If your mum was the "Spring Break, get drunk with the kids" type!! From a graphic design background, you will see her handiwork all over the gallery. Invitations are her specialty, check them out if we have an event coming up.

Claire - The Artist of the group. Just like an artist, she is temperamental, honest and funny. Loves her art and her job. Her art can be found on Deviantart (If you don't know what that is, it is not what you think!) Can often be found at the desk, making sure the paperwork is in order. She is thorough......I am not!!!

Chris - The long haired lover from Liverpool........just not from Liverpool! Chris loves Bargains and gadgets, best if both together!! Outspoken and bold, he knows what you want before you do!! A great Art Advisor and knows his stuff.

and lets not forget..................

Matt - The Monarch, the God to whom we bow, The voice from on high. Our area manager. He is an enigma to be sure!! In a very well respected AC/DC tribute band (which you would not believe if you met him, but he rocks out with the best of them!!) A walking encyclopedia of our art and artists, he is the man we all turn to for those little stories about the artists that we all love to hear.



And there you go, the team in all it's glory. Come and say hi sometime and find out how accurate I was.
