Mr Bingo Talk at Hen's Teeth
As part of our Art Market weekender this coming September, we're buzzing to announce that we'll be hosting a very fun and intimate fireside talk (minus the fire) with one of our favourite illustrators on the 🌎, Mr Bingo.
Tickets will shift in double quick time, so don't snooze.
About Mr Bingo
Mr Bingo was a commercial illustrator for 15 years, working regularly for clients such as The New Yorker, The Guardian, TIME, CH4, The Mighty Boosh & The New York Times. An archive of the thousands of illustrations from this period doesn’t exist online because he got bored once in a motorhome and deleted his entire portfolio website. You can see a small selection of work from this period here.
In 2015 he launched a Kickstarter to fund a book about his Hate Mail project. The campaign featured a rap video and a diverse selection of rewards including being trolled, having your washing up done, going on a date in Wetherspoons, being told to fuck off on Christmas Day and getting shitfaced on a train.
He decided around this period to never work for clients ever again and focus on being some sort of artist which he’s done ever since.
In 2023 Mr Bingo decided to take an entire year off as an experiment and left London with a rucksack and no plan at 8:40pm on Dec 31st 2022. He was spotted in Sri Lanka, Japan and Cornwall.

Cian Ó Cíobháin - Disco Dána
Cian O'Cíobháin's Disco Dána, expect disco, house, techno, Italo, post-punk, indie, half-forgotten classics and dreamy bangers.
