Andrew Walter at The Macbeth Gallery

April 14th - April 27
The Macbeth Gallery, 70, Hoxton Street, London N1 6LP

Andrew Walter is an illustrator and bad tempered sod currently being kicked out of South London. He graduated from Kingston University in the summer of 2007 with a BA in Illustration and is now chipping away at establishing his freelance career. Drawing takes priority in his work, but he yearns for the day he can tackle some printmaking again. He has exhibited at a number of Lazy Gramophone events in the past, as well as at the group exhibition. A Word In Your Eye, in conjunction with Write To Ignite festival.

The grey hair on the right side of his head is a birthmark, not an indicator of worry. Trephine Me contains all new work, and is his first solo show in London.
