New Pages

I have been told that posting several images per post is a little overwhelming and doesn't allow breathing room. So I shall post the images individually.

New Collage

I justed completed this piece to irritate my son Alex who has a terrible sick phobia! It is available for sale as an original for £95 , or as a limited edition, signed print for £45

the next installment

I posted the beginnings of this page last week, this is the completed version. I could extrapolate volumes from this page, but I won't. The meaning in the broadest sense is fairly obvious. The nuance I shall keep to myself! I raise a glass to all you Richards out there!

Moleskine new pages

This is a work very much in progress, I'm not sure about the face so that may change, I have mentioned before my fondness for penises( their shape, how they have a life independent of their human support system, and their sheer comedy value). Willies symbolise so much!

I'm still working this one out, any ideas?

Collage

A mixed media piece titled 'Pregnant Pause', a depiction of parthenogenesis in action, giving birth to another self, under the watchful eye of a rook. The original is approx 7"x 9" on rigid illustration board. SOLD

Moleskine update

While I am working, I like to have noise in the background, so I often have the TV feeding constant information. These pages coincided with the very public trial of a Miss Casey Anthony for the murder of her 2 year old daughter. I got very caught up in the details of the trial and it seemed obvious to me that Casey was guilty. So the verdict was a huge shock. The whole infanticide, mother/ child dynamic is such a primal, complex one, that I felt compelled to try and work out my feelings. I had to try and separate my feelings of loathing for a complete stranger, from her alleged actions. As far as I can see the prosecution proved their case, but the jury saw differently. It is strange how fathers killing their children no longer even registers on the public conscience anymore, but a mother disposing of a child she brought into the world just takes us to another level of evil. This is a theme I'm sure will stay with me for a while yet.

New Moleskine July 2011

 The second instalment of my current sketchbook. I am still working out what the overall meaning is and what the connecton  between all the images might be. I am open to suggestion and external input. Often an observer can see more clearly that I can what is going on.
