Welcome to The Great GeXchange Zine... UK Edition!
In 2022 we launched The Great GeXchange - a project encouraging artists to work together and create two sketchbooks full of art! Two A4 Splashy Gecko Sketchbooks were sent out from Artgecko HQ to two artists, who responded to a theme set by us. After creating their artworks, they sent the books onto whoever they wanted and so the chain continued. When the books were full, they were returned to us and what was inside blew us away!
This zine was created as a way to share the incredible artworks within these sketchbooks and for you to become part of The Great GeXchange! Find sections about each artists, their art and even collaborate with The King Of Collaboration himself, @background_bob. Art legends involved with the project include @korporate, @curtiscreationz, @jimmer_willmott and more!
Each zine is sized A5, has 24 pages and 100% of the proceeds from the zines will go to the charity Wipe Away Those Tears. The charity was formed to grant a wish and bring a sparkle into the lives of terminally or seriously ill children in Essex and is supported by @background_bob who contributed to The Great GeXchange.
