blurb started in 2008 as an artists run group crit session and after the first couple of sessions the idea quickly developed into an online network and soon to be developed magazine also.
blurb was started by Staffordshire artist Mark Brereton because of the isolation artists find themselves in when working alone or on freelance projects. The blurb network, artist sessions and magazine is dedicated to all and any Staffordshire based artists and creatives.
The network is aimed towards, collaborating, networking, sharing or discussing your issues as a modern day artist/creative living and working in Staffordshire.
Please join up, set up your profile and support the creative talents within the midlands.
I've had a varied career to date, mostly involved with creative imaging for Art Direction, Advertising, Branding and Photography. After leaving Stoke in 1996 i worked in different art & design studios around Brighton and London. Upon returning to Stoke i now work for international clients from a shared artists studio based in Burslem. I have also recently taken up a role as Creative Director & Partner for the Peter Silverman Photography Agency and work with a select group of international photographers.

Lucy Roberts said… - That is RAD!!!! I want one, i wonder how much a mortgage is on a Lego house? i suppose i could always build an art gallery out of Lego. I have been investigating gallery spaces, i should be able to get a few viewings next weeks so that should be sw33t. I shall also pop down to artwaves next week for a chat... what days are you in?

Tania Paling said… - Hi Mark
It was lovely to meet you yesterday and see your art under construction, I would be really interested to see the time lapsed photography stuff we talk of. This is my first experience of Blurb and I'm impressed by the site and the atmosphere last night was great. You need more space mate! a victim of your own success i think.
Regards
Tania :)
