RCA Secret Exhibition

If you click on postcards you can browse them - there are 2700 though. I've just gone cross eyed trying and definitely spotted a Quentin Blake and a Paula Rego.

There are cards by Quentin Blake, Nick Park and Sara Fanelli
John Squire (Stone Roses), Jimi Tenor (Jimi Tenor & His Shamans), Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), and Paul Simonon (the Clash)
fashion designers Paul Smith, Manolo Blahnik, Sophia Malig, Johnny Moke and Sonia Rykiel

  • Tracey Emin, Paula Rego, Philip Akkerman, Derek Boshier, Maggi Hambling, Allen Jones, Mimmo Paladino, Alex Katz, Yoko Ono, Olafur Eliasson, David Nash, Richard Wilson, Nicola Hicks, Magdalena Abakanowicz and Guillermo Kuitca.

People queue up all night to buy one and they all sell for £40 each, so you could get a Damien worth thousands.

Are there any originals by that famous illustrator, ooh what's her name...you know, something to do with Thomas and Friends...you know...pretty, blonde, talented...looks like she sucks up diesel

no, the name escapes me..

She sounds weird, esp 'sucks up diesel'. Filth.

It took me ages to find mine - have 3. Two are very easy to spot if you had a spare hour to trawl through. A couple more rabbits. One looks like he's reading a dodgy magazine in a b&b for some reason.

I really want the one that I'm sure Quentin Blake did, a naked lady looking into a hand mirror, is cute.

I dunno - an awful lot of them look so teenage to me. And I'm not someone who generally thinks all modern art could be done by my 7 year old.

Has anyone been to this event? I'm curious to know more about the specifics of this event.....how big are the postcards,and how are they displayed on the day of the show? They're not really postcards, are they? Just postcard sized??
