The Art Blaster! at PARK LIVE

This oversized ghetto blaster was commissioned for Source Fm's PARK LIVE July event in Kimberly Park Falmouth this Sunday just gone.

It's a large canvas to be drawn all over and the theme was "What do I see in the future for Source FM".

Adults and children left some great images and ideas on the installation, including: "Broadcast from space", "More community news" and the art included some very bold neo-expressionism!

The sun was shining all day and the spoken word (selected by Mac Dunlop) and the live music (selected by Ryan Jones) kept everyone highly entertained.

We're Jammin' (the radio!)

Every Friday night on The Source FM in Falmouth I present The Cosmic Art Show (or Cosmic's Show) and last night I had a short, but epic interview to play with reggae music legend U-Roy!

First person to get this tattooed wins a t-shirt!

Everything was going good, I was enjoying the show. The interview with DJ Johnny Nash (U-Roy's main man and selector) played fine. Then,  I was about to play the U-Roy interview and the radio jammed! I could still speak but no music would play what-so-ever. Spooky goings on indeed.

U-Roy DJ Johnny Nash scored some art.

The "Ulysses, read by Jim Morrison" Show

Every Friday I do a radio show on Source FM in Falmouth, called Cosmic's Radio Show or The Cosmic Art Show (why have one name, right?).
It started life as an arts show and kept the theme, even though we often go off-piste!

Here's the listen-again podcast from last night's show, where reading a book by James Joyce turns the studio into a Doors tribute act! with Tam Johnstone, Mat Roberts, Keef Purple and the legendary George from Penzance!

Radio Show, Catch up from here:

Good Morning, HERE is last night's ear candy from my weekly radio show on Source FM in Falmouth.

The Cosmic Art Show

The Source FM is a community radio station in Falmouth, Cornwall. It is live online at www.thesourcefm.co.uk/listen

I'm Cosmic, a contemporary "street" artist based in St Agnes Cornwall, I do loads of artwork in Falmouth and all over Cornwall and the UK.www.drawingonthings.com

This is the first ever Cosmic Art Show! In fact this was my first radio show ever, hijacking The Funkin' Art Radio show that normally airs on this station at this time. I took on of it's DJ's, Lizzie along with me!

I had some very brief training the day before this show aired and then I was thrown in at the deep end.

This show's guests were:

Dilk is one of the best oldskool graffiti artists in the country. He calls in from his graffiti supplies shop in Nottingham. montanashopnottingham.com/talking tips and a Saatchi gallery show he's been working on.

Mr Penfold is a leading contemporary artist, known worldwide for his colourful characters and unique images. He calls in from London where he has been drawing live for a project for the Saatchi gallery, along with Dilk.www.facebook.com/pages/Mr-Penfold/32281712075

The Aggie Boys Choir from St Agnes (of which I just happen to be a member!), sang two songs live on air before we sing at a sea shanty festival the next day in Perranporth. This is a relatively new sea shanty band and we are all (relatively) young sea dogs. Our songs are all original and written and directed by Samuel Stephens from St Agnes, who leads the band.

Kevin Murphy from The Cads and Bounders, who are raising money for charity by driving the Mongol Rally, rings in as they are searching for a free car in Cheshire. They are going to be our news reporters on the show however, this week I ran out of time and didn't manage to call them back. Sorry boys! If you have a car, which is less than 2500cc, that you can give them drop me a line.

Art needs people that make things happen. One of these rare creatures, Meena Rajput, who single-handedly revolutionized the international surf industry by sponsoring artists when they were completely unheard of (singer Ben Howard, the band I Am Giant and me! to name just a few) calls in about following her own dream cycling across the USA.
