BACK TO SKOOL

Good afternoon. May I offer my profound apologies for failing to bore you with my tedious ramblings for over two months? Or may I not? I have been away collecting mud from various swampy regions for purposes I will not disclose here.
But now I am back, with many things to relate. In no particular order.

This is a screenprint called 'Edge of the Harvest' and it was printed on my behalf by Shepard Fairey for a show in Chicago called The Provocateurs. The prints are 24" x 34", cost three hundred dollars, and are available HERE.
This print is actually the first to emerge from a strange and new body of work that has been fermenting and curdling in my mind for some time. Even I find it quite disturbing. More artwork will emerge next month, perhaps wrapped around a record.

I've also had some work printed in London, for a show called Blisters. The work for this show is called 'Dazzle', and it looks like this:

The show, which is (as far as I can tell) only open on the 12th and 13th September features loads of artists and all the prints in editions of forty and are forty quid each, which is kind of amazing. There is loads more information about it HERE.

In other news, the latest print release from the tiny web shop sold out in about half an hour. This is of course most gratifying for someone who got a D for their art A level, but it does appear to have left many people disappointed, as there were only 70 of each print. I'm not quite sure what to do about this - make the edition size bigger? I guess that's a reasonable thing to do. So next time I will do editions of 99. Oh yes, and to all those who bought a print; we will be despatching them next week, probably on the 26th August. This is what the prints looked like; they are called 'Emergency Stabilization' and 'Spreading Contagion'.

Pitched, price-wise, somewhere between the $300 of 'Edge of the Harvest' and the £40 of 'Dazzle' is 'Fucked Millennium' at £122, which is available HERE, and looks like this:

Well, that's all I have time to write about today, as I'm off now to continue the edit of the new edition of 'Catacombs of Terror!', a pulp thriller featuring GUNS, DRUGS and PIGS that I wrote for a bet ten years ago. It's going to be published again, perhaps even in time for Zmas... so I'm off to the library with my coloured biros and little post-it notes. Bye for now, innit.
