GREEN SHOOTS OF RECOVERY
25 January 2014
The rain is lashing against the uninsulated window. I'm huddled underneath a blanket from which one icy hand protrudes, typing these words with a single digit. The floodwaters are continuing to rise.
Here is a new print:

It is called 'Upturn', and this is what I wrote about it;
Despite the ongoing economic disasters engendered by the mendacious movements of the finance industry, we are informed that the appropriation by the wealthy of ever more of the world's resources is 'working'and will lead us to a shining 'recovery'. To celebrate this upturn I present a small print of a different kind of upturn. an upturned car. Complete with a refugee.
Anyway, they are only available from Chapter in Cardiff at the moment. There are only 44 of them and they are £44 each. They are about 25cm across and about 32cm high. How you get them from Chapter is another matter. My internet sleuthing skills aren't up to much, but you could perhaps start here.
In other 'news' I hope to be having a collection of stories published by Faber & Faber this year. I'm still unsure what to call it, still unsure what the illustrations should look like, and still unsure of what the cover should look like.
And I'm still working on the covers for JG Ballard's books. This is something of a challenge and I'm not sure how it's going. I think I need a deadline or a cabin in the woods or a bag of crack. I don't know what I need. But I will get on with it. On Monday.
PS. It turns out that Chapter don't sell prints online; you have to go to Cardiff. If that proves troublesome (and I can sympathise) perhaps it might work if you phone them. Sorry!
