This exhibition is on at The Hancock Museum at the moment, it follows a character simply called 'gadgie' at various places in and around Newcastle during the peak of the mining and shipping industry. I found it interesting because its different to a lot of the art I've seen lately. The figures are cartoon like and you never see any faces, perhaps this is to allow the characters to represent anybody living in the northeast in the 60's.
