ARTPIX UPDATE

Has been a while since I've updated on all things ARTPIX.

Things are slowly starting up again after lockdown, which is brilliant.

I've been able to source new stock from further afield, in the ever-hopeful thought that I might actually be able to sell things at vintage markets!!

Looks like my first market will be the Giant Shepton Flea, which is pencilled in for 30th May.

Fingers crossed for that!!

As the boot fairs are already up and running, I'll be selling for the first time this year on Sunday, at the Axminster Boot Fair over in Devon. Good to clear some space in the ArtPix Storeroom!

My unit at The Customs House in West Bay is flying again, having reopened a couple of weeks ago.

That is fully stocked with wonderful vintage goodies, and an extensive range of retro football stuff, including my own unique designs.

 

I'm working away on various restorations and upcycling projects ...

One of them is an amazing early 1920s Dulcephone gramophone player. This beautiful object had bizarrely had its base painted white, the metal parts spray-painted bronze, with the speaker painted silver.

I'm still meticulously stripping this all away! The speaker is already revealing its incredible original green, blue and turquoise colours.

The second issue of my ARTPIX MAGAZINE is still happening, but after the usual total loss of confidence and drive, is still waiting to be finished. 

Ironic when you think for years and years I designed magazines at breakneck speed on very tight deadlines for a living!!!

And don't forget I'm selling a huge range of vintage items via the Facebook Marketplace.

Just search Matt ArtPix and see what there is!

 

More updates and news to come, keep in touch!!

LOYAL SUPPORTER

Loving the massive backlash from football fans that has already started against this ludicrous super league.

The people involved have already made a massive mistake to label traditional fans as 'Legacy Fans', implying they are not needed, as they chase the money from plastic fans worldwide.

Every fan is now using this tag to underline what being a real football fan is all about.

So putting my cards on the table ... I've supported Chelsea since 1974, first match in 1979, regular match-going fan since the 80s. Yup, that's right, BEFORE the corporate suits and greed arrived. Don't remember seeing you standing in the middle of The Shed back in the day.

 

 

RISING SUN FC

The corporate suits were always going to drain football of any integrity it had left, and today is the day it has now totally gone.

One tiny glimmer of hope for any Chelsea fans disgusted at what is going on, is the fantastic idea and project of getting a phoenix club up and running.

 

As if any proof were needed that this has to happen, now is our chance to get behind this and support it.

Just look at what AFC Wimbledon has achieved, it CAN happen with RISING SUN FC.

 

 

THE CUSTOMS HOUSE IS REOPENING!!!!!!

Finally some good news on the ArtPix front ... THE CUSTOMS HOUSE in West Bay is reopening tomorrow!!!!!!

 

I have a unit in this fantastic emporium down in West Bay, Dorset.

 

Get yourselves down there and pick up some vintage treasures, exclusive ArtPix football designs, and quality vintage books handpicked by Carya Gish from Arcane Publishing!!!!!!
