I've been a little quiet recently. I was exploring a world of magic at Boom Festival in Portugal (one of the best festivals I've ever attended), followed by Wilderness, Green Man and Shambala (in the UK).
I wrote a little groupie blog post about Boom, you can check it out here. I posted few pics on my private IG.
I've also been working on a bunch of stuff in the background. I appreciate your patience and support.
Below you can find a couple of things for starters, I'll post new work on here in the coming days too ;)
1)
I'm very excited to invite you to the VIP opening of 'Individualised'; a London solo exhibition by renowned tattooer Dots To Lines.
This exhibition will feature a collection of nine metal prints we've made together, a UK debut from an unpublished project I've been working on in the background called 'The Inner Outside'.
They are exclusively previewed here, following a successful appearance at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome 'TATTOO FOREVER' Group Exhibition (2016).

We're doing 2 main events; a VIP Opening on Sept 13th and a Public Opening on Sept 27th:
VIP opening (invite only) on September 13th (7-11pm), Public viewing on September 27th (7-11pm).
Exhibition opens to the general public September 14th to November 30th, 2018 (10am-6pm).
Address: NR Studios: 6 Minerva Street, London, E2 9EH (Google Maps).
Check the Press Release here. Dots To Lines' Instagram.
You're welcome to come to either one or both! (better quality versions: VIP Opening | Public Opening).
You can bring friends, just please let me know the names if you can make it - would be super cool to see any of you!
Email for names: therealbenhopper@gmail.com.
2) Online Shop
I recently made a New Online Shop where I'm offering limited and open edition prints as well as other merchandise (shirts etc).
I'm particularly excited about the Open Edition prints; for the first time you can get museum quality prints from £25 with worldwide shipping of £6 only!
These purchases are processed by my London partners theprintspace, who print and ship everything within a day or two!
You can find that section here. There are currently only 8 available, each in 4 sizes (A4-A1). I'll be adding more in the future. If you have an image you're interested in just drop me an email and I'll make it available.
Check out the shop on: shop.therealbenhopper.com
Much love and thank you!
