Recent Unleashments


Here are two of my most recent paintings, Sophia Elle and Joe black. I used biro and watercolour to create these beauties. I had been having the same reacurring dream about Joe Black creeping towards me singing "oops I did it again" without moving his mouth. So I thought I would give him a taste of his own medicine by making this painting scared of me.

When I was in Liverpool last, I met Sophia and she was a vision of beauty, immaculate and fabulous, my new favorite burlesque superstar.

Foxy and his gold gnashers


As you can see, I have extracted all the rancid meat off of poor foxy, and sprayed his teeth gold, I used Montana in gold chrome. It worked really well, when spraying, I covered the bone around the teeth with tape so I didn't make a mess. He still smells a bit but at least he looks rad.

Dr.Sketchy


On Saturday I went with my friend Holly to check out Dr.Sketchy's anti art school, which is a life drawing class with fabulous burlesque models. It is run by Charlotte Thompson and Scarlett Daggers, I had an amazing time and highly recommend it, the next one is in October. I cannot remember the name of this model but I loved her hair!

Tattoo design for Tommy P

A sketch for Tommy's tattoo design, I need to add text and ensure that the globe is perfectly spherical, but it's a good start. Going to add text but need a manly way of displaying it.

The surgical delights of ORLAN


ORLAN is one of those delicious people that has evolved themselves into a new state of optical superiorness. I've just bought her new book,' ORLAN, A hybrid body of artworks.' She takes the phrase 'body of work' quite literally. After looking at her website it made me realize how boring my hair and face is. Hopefully I shall get to see some of her work live, or I could just hold my new book real close to my face so it looks like i'm there. I'll make a review of the book once I've had a gander.

Alexander the great lives on...



Whilst I was waiting for the bus home, I was flicking through magazines to kill time, and I noticed this ad by Dsquared, it reminded me of McQueen's 2001 spring/summer collection because of the encasing of the models and the coldness of the atmosphere. Suppose putting things in glass cases could link back to ol' Damien Hirst, then from him to Francis Bacon...
