I love "Peanuts" One of my favourite stencils of yours. Nice to see you have a few prints on offer. The "Nude" piece is my other favourite stencil of yours, so great choice of pieces to use imo. Good luck with sales!!! Wish I wasn't skint, I'd have them both!!! Does that answer my own questiion for the unique pieces then? No!!! I wanna see what these new ideas you've got up your sleeve are first. I love lots of your work. Keep up the high standards and fresh ideas mate!

BTW what sort of hand finishing have you added to these out of interest?? And was it only the Peanuts or the other editions too?

We are pleased to announce the pilot/launch of the-situation.

This will be a regular event, with some outstanding appearances confirmed and planned.

The event will be recorded. Start date 24th April 2008. "the-situation #0 pilot"


situationism - having to do with the theory or practical activity of constructing situations. One who engages in the construction of situations.
or a meaningless term improperly derived from the above.


modernism - is a trend of thought that affirms the power of human beings to create, improve, and reshape their environment, with the aid of scientific knowledge, technology or practical experimentation. Modernism encouraged the re-examination of every aspect of existence, from commerce to philosophy, with the goal of finding that which was 'holding back' progress, and replacing it with new, progressive and therefore better, ways of reaching the same end.

Embracing change and the present, modernism encompasses the works of thinkers who rebelled against nineteenth century academic and historicist traditions, believing the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organisation and daily life were becoming outdated; they directly confronted the new economic, social and political conditions of an emerging fully industrialised world.

one of my pals imports & sells bikes, he's got one up in his showroom, always make me smile!

... each one will have some unique hand painted elements mate, i'm not going to give too much away as it might spoil the surpise!

heres something else i've been experimenting with, those of you who have purchased works on paper from me over the last year might have noticed something hidden if they held it up to the light, wtf am i on about? i hear you ask, well i've developed my own technique for watermarking images into paper and card. havent come up with a really good use for it yet, maybe make some lights or a chandelier or possibly re-watermark my own imagery into some bank notes and re-circulate them? if any ones got any ideas i'd be interested to hear them, heres a pic to give you a better idea...

the watermarking looks cool.

is this print a giclee?

cheers mate, it most certainly is its been done properly on some high end printer.

Neverwork... just had a great time looking at your stuff online for the first time.
Loving your stuff, especially the new print and the McDonalds Evil bunch of clowns

Can't really afford anything right now but the Peanuts print has me reaching for my maxed out credit card.... ahhhhhhhhh!

cheers RV coming over your way soon we'll have to meet up for a beer mate...

if you pay peanuts for art...

etc

I like his stuff a lot too. He does seem to get a positive response in the main. I'm looking forward to grabbing some pieces from him directly. Do you have any of his work?

He's one of my favourite artists. I've got one of his originals in my office and I'm very happy with it
