Created in Birmingham

Birmingham’s People comes from the folks at Birmingham Photospace and is a continuation of the portrait project they carried out over the Artsfest weekend in September.

The website has been featuring the portraits taken, including the latest of ‘Radway’ (below) who, unless I’m mistaken, is none other than Violet Attack from the Birmingham Blitz Derby Dames.

The project will be exhibited at The Drum from 7 December 2009 to 29 January 2010. You can also sign up to attend the (free) private view and artists talk on 9 December.

• YouTube – The Eccentric City Promo
  The worst video on YouTube? Lofty aspirations from the Eccentric City crew. “Offers little in the way of narrative, fails in adsurdity, encourages little in the way of imagination”. Their words, not mine.
