Melvin Galapon, www.mynameismelvin.co.uk
Originally from the North West of England and now living in London, you can often find Melvin wandering the streets with his sketchbook in his back pocket and his trusty ipod shuffle to keep him company. Melvin's ability at getting easily bored occassionally is evident in his work, which makes him float between different techniques and materials.
Apart from the occasional sense of boredom that keeps him striving to find the new interesting thing for that week, he has also developed an interest in sticky back vinyl that sometimes appears in his work depending on his mood. He's appeared in The Semi-Permament Book 2006, featured in Riot Magazine Australia, won the Howies Art Think spring 2006 competition, has exhibited work at the Magma bookshop in London and is also currently studying MA Communication Design at Central St. Martins.
Clients include: YCN, Howies, New York Times, The Guardian, Wallpaper* and No-One boutique.

Save the date and check the events for all the details a whole host of visual and audio trickery.
Below is a brief run through of stuff:
Dear ShowOffs,
Show Off gives the exhibitionist in us all a stage to dance on,
a spotlight to bask in and a megaphone to scream through!
We wanna have a good time, we wanna have a party,
and we wanna rock to some new music! We also want to be blown away by some top visual trickery! So if you think you’ve
got what it takes to be the best of the best, if you’re established or not, all contributions are welcome
Show me
If you have some amazing work and you want to see your name
in bright lights, the brief is pretty simple...
First,
choose you’re most kick ass piece of work, there’s nothing stopping you submitting a couple, after all if you’re that good it would be rude not too, you’re public is waiting!
Two, part of the deal is that you create a ShowOff sting that can be
used in between your work and someone else’s. Take the ShowOff logo (we send email this to you, just get in touch pdf and do whatever you want... as long as its MEGA, we don’t care
Formats
Dimensions; 1024x576,Pixel aspect ratio; square, Frame rate; 25 fps
Show case
We’ve been getting slighly addicted to myspace so before we sort out a proper website, what we’ll also do is upload the work -if that’s cool with you- onto our myspace page www.myspace.com/showoffclub along with your contact details etc and let the comments fly!
Show boat
This ain’t no competition, there isn’t a trophy at the end of the night,
its a chance to get your work shown outside of the normal comfort zones and see how it goes down, plus you get to meet a load of like minded people, unless you’re really weird or something?!
Showstopper
So that’s it, there’s not much time, all submissions should be in by the end of February, 2007
Show Up
Don’t be a stranger! It would be tops if you can pop down
on the night and obviosuly as a contributor you’ll be on the guest list.
Remember ‘…the better you look, the more you see!’ haha
