Blue Suede Shoes

By Gumbo

Welcome to 'Blue Suede Shoes', a game played by six artists known collectively as 'Gumbo'...

Using the well known title 'Blue Suede shoes' as a starting point, this group of artists have played a game of 'pass it on' to produce a sequence of new illustrations that will be on display in the gallery. Through a series of word changes the story twists and turns to take you on a surreal journey into the imagination; thus Blue Suede Shoes becomes 'Blue Suede Dinosaur', somehow transforming into 'Blue dinosaur soup', and so on…

Gumbo collective are comprised of Sandra Howgate, Sarah Horne, Eivind Gulliksen, Harriet Russell, Samara Andrews and Chris Andrews. Members work independently as illustrators on their own projects as well as together on books and exhibitions.
