Each of the participating artists are internationally renowned in their own field, be it comic art, graphic design, illustration or fine art, which will make for a diverse collection that will appeal to a broad audience of art and music lovers alike.

Our exhibition includes new risograph prints (a selection shown above) by Sophie Alda,Rose Blake, Morgan Blair, Marc Giglio, Kirstyna Baczynski, Gabriella Marcella and Alec Doherty.  Along side a selection of the original, gicclee print run.  All A3, All £15, All available to view and buy online here.


A Famous Night

New Orleans print collection!

Inspired by a sign in the "Spotted Cat" on Frenchman, there will be no drinks or drunks on the piano!
Woah There Pickle is one of The Red Door Gallery's newist recruits, and we just love these joy filled prints.  Created after a visit to New Orleans, this print is  part of a series the artist made celebrating her love of the city. The artist has wittily incorporated some of the idiocyncratic sayings, phrases and motifs that capture the unique spirit and characteristics of this inspirational city.  View the whole collection online here.

Woah There Pickle AKA Vicky Day lives and works in Brighton by the seaside. Having studied Graphic Design at university, Vicky’s passion for print and printmaking lead her to create these beautifully produced works, crafted from a hand-cut, then inked and printed piece of print-maker’s lino.

Many pieces in Graham's collection are in really small editions. Some as little as 10. There are so many beautiful details in his work, many piece with gold foil details. It's a must to come and see these pieces.
