The second Christmas With The Impossimals was held at Castle Galleries in Solihull, we arrived to a great window display, banners and balloons festooning the entrance to the gallery.
Inside everything looked fab with Impossimals old and new adorning the walls and of course a few surprise originals after the ones allocated for the show were sold before the event started.
So, glasses at the ready the event began, this time with a different start to normal, an Impossimal cake!
Baked by collector Cathy pictured above the cake was a fantastic gift and a great addition to what was to be a great day at the gallery and indeed a great little set of events leading up to Christmas.
It quickly filled up as collector after collector came through the door until around 2pm when it started to get really full.
This was the last photo we managed to snap before it got so busy that we spent the rest of the appearance chatting away with collectors. I lost count of the amount of dedications we managed to sign over the event but one special one I do remember was this...
A joint dedication with Elliott, a young fan who always brings me a picture to keep when I visit Solihull. This time he joined me and added his own special Christmas tree to the back and I added several Impossimals before we both signed it, this is exactly what these events are all about, smiling, a great deal of fun and a great chance for us to try and give something back to all the collectors that have supported us over the years. We managed to leave the gallery two hours later than the official finishing time, exhausted but very happy indeed.
So all that remains is to say a big thank you to the incredible team at Castle Galleries, Solihull for a great day and another big thank you to all the collectors that came along to the event. Next it's the turn of Evergreen Art Cafe in Daventry on the 8th of December to receive the Christmas With The Impossimals event along with a selection of unseen originals and a very special prize giving ceremony for the winners of the recent design an Impossimal Christmas Card in conjunction with the gallery and Waitrose. It should be another great day and as usual you are all welcome to come along and join in the fun :)
All that remains is a goodbye from me and a goodbye from him. Nom, nom, nom!
