Himptology: Afterwards

Couple more drawings from our exhibition and book about "belief and belonging" looking at what happens after we die. Click here for more information about the book and here for more about the show.

EDIT: Whoops sorry Illustration Friday, I was trying to do three tasks at once and pasted the wrong link on the page. You were supposed to come to this page and not straight into my Etsy shop in what looked like blatent selling of the worst kind. Anyways, here were some drawings from our show which looked at ideas of when life ends what happens afterwards.

Himptology: Sacrifices

So that's our Himptology show all over, thanks to everyone that came along and took part in the Sunday Service's and created work for the "gallery" of suggestions for rules and ideas for the new religion. Hope you are now all converts.

We had quite a few people asking about small print versions of our large Commandment posters and diagrams. These are availible at 20x25cm size - have a look on Etsy and contact us to arrange the print you are after.

Himptology: Watch You Mouth

Another print from our series of commandments from our Arches exhibition.

Himptology: The Parsonage Choir

A short clip of the wonderful Parsonage Choir who were kind enough to join our motley crew at today's last HIMP Sunday Service.

Those of you who took part and want to know when/ if we shall return or those of you who have read about the wonderous event and want to find out how you too can get involved should join our mailing list in the right hand collum of this page for future news.

Thanks again to everyone who came along over the course of the three weeks and especially those who came along today and bared with The Arches and their technical hitches - 40mins late and yet everyone was still happy and game for fun.

Until the next time - May HIMP be with you.

Himptology: Initial Itch

You can hear extracts from the Second HIMP Sunday Service as recorded by the Initial Itch show on SubCity radio here - http://www.subcity.org/shows/initialitch/9de74

"All rise! We've been blessed with a section from Hole In My Pocket's Sunday Service this week. Pulling together the work of a community of creative Glaswegians for a secular alternative to church, it's presided over by Reverend Gary McNair, and features Rhymes With Purple's Waiting for Groucho, a sermon from John Fitzpatrick of Trongate 103, and a chorus led by Fish and Game's Eilidh MacAskill. HIMP's Sunday Service is back in the Arches lobby on Sunday 10th October."

You can also listen to Alan Cesarano's talk from week one here - www.alancesarano.com/wheredoigofromhere.html

Himptology: Last Sunday Service

The Parsonage Choir have confirmed that 22 members of their group will be attending this Sunday and will be performing four songs.

Have now seen most of the speakers images and it looks like again a brilliant and varied mix of talks and topics.

So far over the course of the Sunday Services we have come to expect the unexpected, be that talks about the design of urinals, a discussion about computer games where you drive across the US in real time or two ladies singing a revue style song in which all the lyrics are miaow. A wonderfully chaotic mix of creative superb-ness by our performers.

Himptology: Sunday Service 1

Thanks to everyone that came along and took part in our first Sunday Service, it was such a good laugh. The "sermon" givers were all excellant, the host and music were superb and the vocal efforts as we all sang along to "Living on a Prayer" and "Take on Me" were brilliant. Hope you all return for our second extravaganza on 3 October when we will be joined by Gregor Wright and Sebastian Tombs.

"Hole in my Pocket invite you to join them for The Himp Sunday Service, an non-denominational alternative to Sunday School for creative types. Come along and hear a series of sermons from top artists, designers and performers about their chosen creative fields, find out what inspires them and celebrate the Church of Creativity in style with some group karaoke led by a local Choir, readings from Moby Dick and a ...nice cup of tea. Sundays 19 September and 3, 10 October 1 -2.30pm."
