THE LAUNCH OF PATRICK WOODROFFE’S NEW BOOK “BENIGN ICONS” IS TO TAKE PLACE IN DENMARK ON 14th JUNE 2008.
Claus Brusen Mikkelsen is checking all the pages of “BENIGN ICONS” before it comes out. Claus Brusen Mikkelsen is now the publisher. It shall be launched including a quite large exhibition of Patrick Woodroffe’s work at his new gallery “FANTASMUS” Groennegade 3, 9300 Saeby, Denmark on Saturday the 14.06.08.
Great news for our continental customers or anyone in the UK who wants to go to Denmark and have the chance to see the work of a living legend. Patrick Woodroffe’s art is not just brilliant, it is astounding! Apart from the sheer vibrancy and original creativity of it the technique (especially the incredibly intricate small details) is really something else. The top off to the awe inspired by seeing Patrick Woodroffe’s original work is when you find out that he is almost entirely self-taught - utterly awesome indeed!

So; if you’d like to meet artist Ed Org, now definitely confirmed as unique and uncloned despite doubts in previous posts, then here are the places to be … and please let him know you heard about it via Artists UK DotNet so he’ll make sure we don’t run out of stock 
The prize must go to John Howe for the shortest notice on a signing with the following in his newsletter -
I will be signing the FANTASY ART WORKSHOP (Yikes! That’s tomorrow!
Where’s my passport?) at Forbidden Planet in London on November 17th from 12:30 to 2:00 pm.
Fortunately, first thing this morning, John laid his hands on the workable Time Machine he’d been looking for since sending that email …
Sadly it emerges that Ed Org is not capable of bi-location and has not been cloned. Mind you, with a few more of him running around producing those amazing works of art (and identically!) it wouldn’t be so special (and possibly a bit creepy too 
). So; on the downside it means he won’t be at both places and a friend of his will be running his stall at one of the events on the duplicate dates. On the upside it means he is still unique!
…… finally here is what he says -
“I will be in person at Ludlow Medieval fair (24/25 Nov) and Knebworth (8/9 Dec)”
So; if you want to meet the great Ed Org go along with all your clones and ENJOY

As promised, here are artist Ed Org’s dates for the rest of this year. He is doing two places on some weekends. He has not confirmed yet whether he has gained a yogic power to bi-locate or is going to be at one fair one day and at another on the other day or parts of each day or whether someone else is running one of the stalls for him. Or maybe he is actually twins with the same name or has been recently cloned. All will be revealed in the fulness of time and when we know we’ll let you know …
