Headfirst Editor's Pick
"A three-day plunge into the strange, playful, and surreal! Clown trickster Doug Francisco reveals a cabinet of uncanny curios, a nude pirate life-drawing session unfolds to the raucous strains of a live buccaneer band, and artist Zie leads a hands-on printmaking workshop that riffs on oddball motifs like meat, toys, lips, and more…"

A event held at The Island on Friday 12th September. The event starts at 10:00.
In the cells of the old police station!
12th - 13th (10:00 - 19:00): The Incredible Amazing Show of Outstanding and Spectacular Things
Sat 13th (19:30 - 21:30): Nude Pirate Lifedrawing with Live Pirate Band
Sun 14th (10:00 - 14:00) Last chance to see the things (print workshop cancelled)
For 3 days only, every object in Bristol that could ever be considered worth looking at is assembled in one comparatively small room.
Artefacts and oddities from the curious collection of Doug Francisco; the grotesque and enigmatic clown deity who's creative influence is directly responsible for every smile spread, tear shed and child fed since his escape from Panama in the 20s. Accompanied by The Tasty Boys, a few of Doug's most ambitious and calculated grunts, you may bare witness to the grandest heist in Bristol history; the great assembling of every single thing in Bristol that could ever be considered, by anyone at any time, worthy of an afternoon visit.
On Sat 13th (19:30 - 21:30)
Nude pirate life drawing with live pirate band!
A very limited and exclusive 30 tickets available for a lifetime opportunity to draw a sea-hardened rogue stripped down to his eyepatch (for discretion), stripping patiently to the accompaniment of Piratitude, a band of the South West's most ruthless and revered plunderers.
ARRRRRRRRt!
All ticket sales and profits go to the life model and the band.
All ticket sales from the printmaking workshop go to Zie.
