ABOUT GREAT NORTH SNOWDOGS SUMMER - AUTUMN 2016 Presented by creative producers Wild in Art, working in partnership with St Oswald's Children’s Hospice, Great North Snowdogs will bring together businesses, artists, schools and community groups to create a public art trail of beautiful Snowdog sculptures, based on the story The Snowman and The Snowdog, by Raymond Briggs. For ten weeks during Autumn and Winter 2016, the North East’s streets, parks and open spaces will become home to a series of individually designed Snowdog sculptures, painted by both well-known and undiscovered artists. This will result in a sculpture trail, sponsored by businesses and individuals, showcasing the rich cultural offer and wealth of artistic talent in the area. Local people can become ‘tourists in their own city’ with a trail map and dedicated app will lead them from popular tourist destinations to lesser known areas of the region. Once the trail ends, the sculptures will be auctioned at a glittering event in December 2016, to raise funds for St Oswald’s Children’s Hospice. A separate trail of smaller Snowdogs, created by local school children and community groups will also be exhibited, celebrating the talent of the young people of the North East.

An absolutely roarsome, lion-inspired, public art trail became Paisley’s ‘mane’ event for ten weeks in Summer 2016.Paisley-First-Pride-of-Paisley-Auction The Pride of Paisley Wild in Art project is being led by Paisley First Business Improvement District (BID) and will form part of the ‘Summer of Fun’ campaign. Organisers, in partnership with ACCORD and St Vincent’s Hospices, supported by a range of enabling partners (including Renfrewshire Council, University of the West of Scotland and West College Scotland) ran a FREE, family friendly trail of 25 colourful lion sculptures, painted by local artists, sponsored by local businesses and located across the town centre streets. Paisley Museum’s popular exhibit – ‘Buddy the Lion’ – inspired the project, which also gave primary school children the opportunity to decorate mini lion sculptures, which were displayed inside participating businesses. The event was the BIGGEST public art project in the town’s history and raised awareness of Paisley’s cultural and heritage assets, attracted new visitors and tourists, as part of the town’s culture-led, regeneration strategy. Ultimately, all the lion sculptures will be auctioned on the 21st October in The Normandy Hotel, with proceeds split between ACCORD Hospice, in Paisley, and St Vincent’s Hospice, in Howwood. More information about the auction can be found here. Artist Mandii Pope

Project: "Books about Town" Charity: The National Literacy Trust In association with: Wild in Art Host during creation: The Putney Exchange Original image/design: Tom Adams Sponsor: Agatha Christie/RJL Entertainment/Acorn About the design: Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her books have sold more than a billion copies in English and another billion in a hundred foreign languages. The iconic characters of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are synonymous with detective fiction, and her standalone novel And Then There Were None is one of the best-selling books ever written. Agatha Christie's impact on the literary world is clear -- which is why Agatha Christie Ltd and the Christie Archive Trust are delighted to be involved in the Books about Town project. The inspiration for the bench design comes directly from the artwork created for the newly-published (and for long un-published) Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly, a novella that was to become the more well-known Dead Man's Folly. The story is set at Greenway, Christie's holiday home in Devon, which she called "the most beautiful place in the world". It is indeed a magical location, on the banks of the River Dart, and it was here surrounded by her family that she would often run through her stories and test her plots. Artist Tom Adams was commissioned by HarperCollins publishers to design the cover artwork for the new publication, building on the work he created for Agatha Christie novels of the sixties and seventies. These original covers constitute probably the most famous examples of paperback art ever produced, and have been reproduced throughout the world by many other publishers. The Greenshore Folly artwork has been recreated for the bench by artist Mandii Pope... The Agatha Christie Bench will feature on the Books about Town bench trail in London from July until October, making a little trip town to Devon for the annual Agatha Christie Festival around the 15th of September, Christie's birthday. September also sees the launch of a brand new Poirot novel penned by thriller writer Sophie Hannah, the first to be written in 39 years with full blessing from the family. In October the bench will go up for auction to raise money for the National Literacy Trust.

Name: WW100 Trevor Warphin Description on WW100 Trevor Warphin the Dolphin plane: Trevor Warphin is a mix of a number of WW2 planes from Britain, America and NZ and Scotland as a tribute to our forefathers and remembrance of WW100. His nose/mouth is an American P40 Warhawk with sharks teeth and a moving propeller. The body and cockpit is a Supermarine spitfire Mkla from the 610 and 428 Squadron in Biggins Hill where many New Zealanders were based. WW100 Trevor Warphin has D-Day stripes on the tail His registration ML-407 relates to the "Grace Spitfire" flown by female pilots and also my family name for generations Both my Grandfathers fought in WW2, my Great Grandfather in WW1. Grandad RTW Speirs served was in the NZRAF both NZ and Scottish regiments based in Canada, Scotland and the Pacific Islands. Grandad Pope was based in Egypt. Great Grandad Speirs was Scottish. RTW Speirs and his army number is my Grandad Robert Trevor Wright Speirs. Grandad Spiers wan't a pilot but he was in the RAF as a navigator, lieutenant and a sergeant. Trevor Warphin has the Scottish 612 Squadron logo. Pilot: Hugh Somerset Tucker - 20 year old New Zealander from Taranaki, based at Biggins Hill in the 428 Squadron. Hugh has a few close calls when his plane was almost shot down. Hugh blacked out as his plane plummeted in a downward spiral. He woke up 2000ft before he hit the ground and pulled the throttle up nearly missing a train. The propellers 4ft below the plane narrowly missed the ground with the tail collecting a clump of grass on the way up. Hugh decided to fly to the nearest airport for a spot of lunch, upon his return he saw a note on his plane that it was unworthy of flying. He thought to himself, buggar that - I'm 70 miles from home, so took off without clearance and flew home. The wave: Side one from top to bottom - All New Zealand Planes One one side are New Zealand planes. A Spitfire with markings as a tribute to kiwi pilot Hugh Somerset Tucker who flew at Biggins Hill in squadron 485 OU*H The Silver P51 Mustang is Trevor Blands. NZ2451. Trevor now in his late 70s flew in the RAF and the Warbirds in NZ. He was also a commercial pilot for Air NZ and taught most of the Air NZ commercial pilots flying today. The next plane down is the Harvard EN*E flown by Ernie Thompson. As kids we grew up on the beach with Trevor & Ernie and their kids and often went for rides in the planes over Pauanui. The bottom is a Mosquito EG*Y the only mosquito built in NZ at Ardmore Airport in Auckland. Side two from bottom to top - Scottish planes except for Ferocious Frankii On the other side of the wave are various Dolphin planes from the 612 Aberdeen Squadron. The bottom plane is a Whitley VII (Sept 1941-June 1943) WL*U The next plane up is a Spitfire F Mk 14 (Nov 1946-Oct 1949) RAS*L The next plane up is a Vampire FB Mk 5 (June 1951-Feb 1957) The top is an American Mustang Ferocious Frankii Trevor Warphin is named after Trevor Bland from the Warbirds and well respected Air NZ Pilot, it is also my Grandads name.
