Dear Subscriber,
Some news on the music and paintings from Mark Sheeky.
Painting News:
"Thinking About Christmas" has been delivered to Resources for Autism for future exhibition and auction for their cause. Their exhibition will include artwork by autistic children and adults and probably take place in London. Another painting, "Insecurity Grasping For Freedom", has been delivered to the Sue Ryder charity for evaluation in their annual auction in London (Art Liberating Lives). I await the judgement of the panel on that one.
In Keele, "Two Roman Legionaries Discovering The God-King Albion Turned Into Stone" has been commended by the judges. About 200 pictures are shown in Keele and only ten to twenty percent of paintings that are submitted make it past the jury into the exhibition. Of those that do, the judges award three cash prizes and three commendations. The exhibition is on for approximately a month and open to the public in the Chancellor's Building in Keele University.
Another painting Uranos and Helios will go on exhibition in the Lowry Gallery, Salford Manchester for two weeks from next Thursday. Painted for a company called Urenco, the picture is a landscape that represents man's use of nuclear power.
Music News:
My next album, Stupid Computer Music, will be released on December 1st. As with The Spiral Staircase I've decided to spend extra on the printing and production of the CD to give a high quality product at a high price instead of trying to cut corners. Each CD order includes an exclusive photo card too. It's the perfect gift for fans of computer game music and is available to pre-order from today.
CD prices are currently £12.99 including postage. Downloads in MP3 or FLAC formats are currently £6.99.
The next CD release will be The Twelve Seasons. A collection of themed tracks like Animalia, the music will include three pieces of music for each season. Not all of the music is written at the moment but I aim to finish this and release it in January 2009.
As ever, thank you for your interest in my work.
