New shop in Bellenden Rd

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Has anyone been in to the rather curious 'woodcarving' shop? Slightly scary picture of Bobby Moore at the back.

where abouts is it? what does it sell? bobby moore pictures?

Don't worry, no Westham enclave getting its foot in the door round here!

It is a shop that offers to turn photographs into woodcarved plaques and the large one at the back shows Mr Moore hoisted on his 1966 team mates brandishing a certain cup.

I just found it odd - not sure there's a market round here for it and the ordinary, everyday photographs/carvings look a trifle scary - as if the subjects have been petrified.

Surely xylofied, PGC?

Actually it's all rather badtasteofied but I was trying not to be too judgmental!

I am just trying to find my most hideous photos to have turned into woodcarved plaques for Christmas presents next year for those in my family who are fond of kitsch :))

Can't wait to investigate this shop, it sounds wonderful :))

Never mind all that pontificating and academic 'xylofied' and 'badtasteofied', what's happened to that duck?

This shop is so odd I thought it was some sort of situationist joke when it opened - maybe the people in IdeaSpace 157 making an obscure point about the modern art world.

But I think it is actually just a bloke who thought, "What SE15 needs now is a place where you can have your favourite photo reproduced in bas relief on a massive mahogany plaque."

And, you know, fair play. I'd offer him ?20,000 for a 10% share just to see the look on Deborah Meaden's face.

I reckon if you offered him that 20K he would snatch your hand off TMax.
