a snippet of one of Rick Warden's pieces on display at the Tricycle - i spy JOHNNY ALUCARD (in the bath!) from Dracula AD 1972 - a personal favourite! |
i was over at the
Tricycle in Kilburn the other night to catch a film and was intrigued by current
exhibition NOSTALGICart & DigiPics by
Rick Warden (memorable as demon Astaruth in the BBC's cheery exorcism tv drama series 'Apparitions' - tho he's done a lot more!). the NOSTALGICart part of the exhibition came from memories of his childhood top trump card obsession - begun anew as he has now managed to search out and complete the sets he coveted in the school playground - absolutely LOVE the Dracula piece (sadly not for sale as its obviously his personal favourite).

in 'Apparitions' Father Jacob (Martin Shaw) sends demon Astaruth (Rick Warden) packing - despite the extreme blood loss and levitation he still doesn't rate high enough for his own top trump horror card..... |
the DigiPics he created by using an app on his iphone, then made digital prints and has also done a couple of oils - despite my initial reservations the vibrant colours grew on me and i actually fell in love with this one...probably cos that looks suspiciously like Trellick Tower there...anything with a bit of
Trellick gets full marks in my book. check out Rick's exhibition before it goes - on till saturday 14th May 2011.

i spy...Trellick Tower...? |
I just discovered this and was really chuffed you a) caught the show and b) got something out of it. Perhaps you and I are in the same demographic!
