Saatchi’s to host Howman’s ‘Monsterous’ show
Saatchi Auckland creative Tim Howman (pictured) is set to put on an exhibition featuring his illustration works. The art show, titled ‘Monsterous’, opens this Wednesday 12th May at 6pm, Space 2B (in the Saatchi’s building), 123-125 The Strand, Parnell.
All are welcome to attend the opening night where drinks will accompany the 35 unique artworks on display.
Howman explained of the show’s fruition: “It came about because one late night a few months ago, a friend flipped through my illustrations in my moleskine and challenged me to do an exhibition. It consists of twenty A0 pieces, ten A4 pieces and five A5 pieces, all done using just three sharpies. It’s taken just over three months of a lot of late nights and weekends to finish. It’s been a real labour of love”.
Saatchi’s ECD Dylan Harrison said: “Tim’s a real talent and a true creative spirit. This exhibition is proof that he’s not one of those people who can turn off their creativity like a tap when they walk out the door. But more importantly he’s had the discipline to get it done. This is what separates Tim from the millions of wannabe’s out there who just talk about it.”
The exhibition will run from 12th-19th May and after then it can be viewed at http://bemonstero.us

Wish i could be there. If they’re all as cool as the one shown here – i want one. (no, not the photo of you)
I’ve seen a few of the pieces, they’re spectacular, I’ll get Timmy to save you the best one bboy.
Fuck Tim, stop being so trendy all the time
Can you please fax me the wine list, I’m still undecided about whether to attend or not.
…and then off to Amsterdam to join 180. Way to pack it all in!
Amazing what you can do when you’ve got sod all on at work.
Is there a fan blowing your hair to one side?
Nice monster drawings.
