Two friends smoking pot in a room with Regency wallpaper, oil on card, 18 x 16 cm

This stuff is bloody strong, said Mumbo.
Jesus, I said.
Oh God, said Mumbo.
I know. I said. Don't look at the wallpaper.
Oh fuck, said Mumbo.
I know.
Jesus, said Mumbo.
Oh God, I said.
Pass it over, said Mumbo.

Pixies play football with the head of a social worker

Pixies play football with the head of a social worker

 oil on card, 16 x 18 cm

Wherever the Pixies went, they left mayhem.

A social worker, a good, kind-hearted person, went to see them.

But even she, in her munificent goodness, was not spared. Now the Pixies use her head for a football.

Such behaviour is very wrong. But it seems that the pixies have no conscience whatsover.

The Return of the Pixie

 The Return of the Pixie (detail)

At first there were rumours: murmerings of fear in the frontier provinces. There were a series of strange incidents and a sensation of dread was everywhere. The authorites were dismissive at first: these incidents were sporadic: mere coincidence or happenstance, they said.

But eventually it became obvious, even to them: the pixie had returned. A state of emergency was declared.

We are friends

We are friends, oil on card, 18.5 x 16 cm

We are friends.

"We are friends."
"Yes we are."
"We sit and talk to each other."
"You talk and I listen."
"Yes I do. And then I talk and then you listen to me."

"It`s so nice that you have come."
"It`s so lovely to be here."

Flowers (Hollow Hills), oil on card, 16 x 17 cm

Painted to the accomaniment of Bauhaus`s splendid Hollow Hills, which appeard on their second LP, Mask:

Ancient Earth work fort and barrow 

Discreetly hide their secret abodes 

The most fearful hide deep inside 

And venture not there upon Yuletide 

For invasion of their hollow hills 

The music hold and Oberon fill 

Is surely recommended not 

For fear of death in fear of rot 

Hollow hills 

Hollow hills 

Hollow hills 

Hollow hills 

Baleful sounds and wild voices ignored 

In luck disaster the one reward 

Violated sanctity of supermen's hills 

So sad love lies there still 

So sad 

So sad 

Hollow hills 

Hollow hills 

Witches too and goblin too and speckled sills 

Lament repent oh mortal you 

So sad 

So sad 

In the right dosage, the gothic is truly a delight.

Flowers (Ziggy Stardust)

Flowers (Ziggy Stardust), oil on card, 16.5 x 14 cm  -available

the surface of this picture is pitted and has picked up dust

I am trying to incorporate, and have been for some time, some ideas from Japanese and Chinese art about leaving aspects of surface plain, the play between mark and non-mark, void and presence. And I also want to developing, from Eastern painting, an attitude in which I accept unintentional events on the picture field as as possibilities, instead of necessarily "correcting" them to suit an a priori schema.

Today`s music was by Bauhaus: their fine cover of Bowie`s Ziggy Stardust never fails to delight:

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo

The kid was just crass, he was the nazz

With God given ass

He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar

Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind

Like a leper messiah

When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.

As ever, I bow before the greatness of Fantin-Latour.
