Liz Adams' book of poetry, Green Dobermans, will be published by Lazy Gramophone in 2011.

Dan Prescott, Lazy Gramophone comrade and resident typesetter, will be exhibiting a selection of his artworks and illustrations throughout July and August at the Mill House cafe-restaurant on Windsor's Peascod Street, as part of the exhibition Fragments.

Dan has exhibited in and around London, most notably at the Macbeth Gallery in Hoxton, the Hospital Club in Covent Garden, Angel tube station and in the café at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, St James' Park. He was also part of the fund-raising, collaborative art initiative, Love in the Sky, in association with the ICA.

Through his involvement with Lazy Gramophone, Dan has designed, typeset and/or illustrated titles for the collective's publishing arm, Lazy Gramophone Press. A number of the images featured in this exhibition were created for Lazy Gramophone Press's latest publication, The Book of Apertures.

Fragments is the second bi-monthly exhibition organised and curated by the Two Magpies. After a debut show of painting and photography, the summer show is filled with mainly illustrative drawing and graphic work by young local artists.

Fragments will be on show from 1st July - 31st August 2010 at Mill House, 11 Peascod Street, Windsor SL4 1DT
