Anthem for Dead Youth
New bandcamp release 'Anthem for Dead Youth'. A recording from my archive of the first band I was ever in (I haven't been in many!) Movement was a glam punk band formed at Dartington College of Art in 1996.
You can read the full story of the band and see some glammed up pictures in an article just published on the Repeat Fanzine site below.....

The band did get better, but only this raw punk sound captured on tape. Four songs, only one of them (Just!) over two minutes. We had a song that went on for ten minutes by the time we split. I make no great claims for this music, but I am pleased to be able to make it available and it's not bad in a naive sort of way.
Death Book 3: Drawing One Last Breath
My painting 'Sulli' which was made in direct response to an article I read about the tragic South Korean pop singer Sulli in Cosmopolitan Magazine is featured in 'Death Book 3: Drawing One Last Breath'.
The book features various artists and illustrators meditating on themes relating to the grim reaper. It also features Mike Diana, Jean Micheal Basquiat, Herman Nitsch, Ellen and Ellen Cantor and many more....

Grandad Reg Published this Week!
'Grandad Reg' illustrated by me and written by Clara Heathcock who I also collaborated with on 'Perforated Eardrum' in 2018. A story of grief in a time of pandemic (yeah that one!) A story of hope and ice cream that jumps between Birmingham in the nineties and London in the present day.

Grandad Reg Comic
'Grandad Reg' created in collaboration with my friend Clara Heathcock, who I previously made 'Perforated Eardrum' with back in 2019. Clara wrote 'Grandad Reg' and I painted and collaged the visuals.
Published by the brilliant Kus! comics in Latvia.
'Switching between '90s-era Birmingham and modern-day London, this short comic tells the story of losing someone and trying to process grief at a time when there are no funerals. Like grieving itself, this all-too-relatable story is by turns melancholic and muted, and vivid and uplifting.'

It's out 25th January.....
Halloween 2021!!!!
I always like to post a pic on here that celebrates Halloween in some way. This years picture is perhaps a broad interpretation of the theme but it's definitely creepy.
A new version of my 'Zippy Scream' as well as the old one. There is more than one version of 'The Scream' so my 'Zippy Scream' is in keeping with Munch's masterpiece.
The first 'Zippy Scream' which was done a couple of years ago. It recently went viral on the Grayson Perry Art Club facebook page where it received around 1.3k likes and was shared to thousands of people via the page.
I was then commissioned to make another 'Zippy Scream'. You can see both versions below. Happy Halloween!
