If any of you happen to be in Brighton over the next month, why not pop down & see the joint show I'm in with the elusive Dr.D, lots of new & never before seen work on display.
Our special guest in this exhibition is Seattle's Mike Leavitt who has produced a pair of beautifully detailed "Art Army" statues of myself and the Doctor, I'm thrilled with the result!
I'm also in a group show at John Jones in Finsbury park, London called "Dorian Gray-Happy days" until Nov 30th.
On Saturday Aug 4th I launched my latest exhibition at Barbie Deinhoff's bar in Berlin.
The venue is a gorgeous place, themed after the famous doll, all pink and gold with pole dance poles and rope-lights in the window.
Inspired by the décor and ambience of the bar I designed a series of "Dolls and Prostitutes" themed paintings. The imagery derived from my own collections of tart-cards (found in the phone boxes of London and Tokyo) and weird dolls including Yumeko, King Walder & Manko's infamous "St. Sebastian" as well as some antique mommets from the V&A Museum of Childhood collection.
They were all painted in acrylic and varnish on hand pressed paper, some of which included pressed marigold flowers!.
The show launched as part of the "Dada Gods Disco" event alongside Mark Splatter's DJing and live performances from Gob$au$age and Gene Serene.
I contributed by sketching live in marker pens on a huge sheet of white paper while Manko, wearing pink drool gear tattoo top & manko-panties, posed for me in the window like some fantasy whore in a glamourous dolly redlight district.
We ended up in Jail (it's a bar) where I was surprised to see a photo I'd taken on the flyer, I think it was the subject they were after rather than the photographer though as the pic was from Manko's debut "Bubblegum" set.
Thanks to Temper & pals for taking us there and making sure we were well lubricated.
As usual I couldn't keep my pen in my pockets and the doodles and scrawls spread out onto the streets of Berlin like some marker pen virus, I'm such a tagging terror when I'm tanked up on booze!.
The next day we added to the local colour with a bit of paste-up.
If you are in Berlin between now and the start of September why not pop into Barbie D's and have a peep.
Cheers!

Too much has transpired since I last logged on to go into detail about any of it. Sharing a computer with Manko means that she's constantly logged in and to be honest I just feel disruptive when I log her out.
Vivid we still miss you, it was a pleasure to chaperone you around London, and serve as your PLP.
We had an amazing time together, Manko & Vivid both already talked about it in their blogs, what can I say?...I was in big nose girl heaven.

Sadly miss Manko will not be accompanying us as she's got other plans...

Happy New Year folks.
Here for your edification I present the last painting I finished in 2006.
It should explain in part why my blog posts were so few and far between.
)
This canvas started life as a collage of photocopied pages from my sketchbooks starting on Aug 25th in Milano and finishing at the SG DVD launch party at 93feet East on London's Brick Lane.
There is also a performance of the ballet Gizelle and a punk gig at the 100 club with Eater, TV Smith and Don Letts, a trip to TG, a part2ism art opening, Gobsausage and Ebony Bones live, pet dogs and more...

As mentioned in my last blog, I've been working on some exciting new artworks of late.
The biggest one is almost done, I've got another month or so to finish it off and then in the first week of Feb 2007 it'll be going into a group show.
It's a semi-abstract self-portrait, mostly acrylic & varnish on board, but with added rubber toys, nails, collage, bodily fluids and a vicious malignant curse aimed at the little fucker who stole my beloved fetish hat back in March.
Oh yes as well as the usual Manko & Atomic stuff I've interviewed Seattle based artist Mike Leavitt about his Art Army project, if you don't know Mike's work go check it out he's white hot right now.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm painting like a motherfucker this week!
seems like the idea I've been waiting for finally burst through into our shared reality, it all just seems to make sense and fit together HAHAHAHA I've got continuity, depth and a million and one little tangents I can go on without losing the idea.
I know this is probably gobbeldigook but wtf I just wanted to shout it out.
Oh yeah it looks like I'll be doing a DJ slot at the upcoming SG video screening in London this sunday.
If you are perchance in the London area it starts around 6.30 at 93 Feet East opposite the Truman Brewery (& the tattoo convention
) on Brick Lane.

I was just watching that CG cartoon The Incredibles last night & y'know what? theres a character in there, they call her Mirage, that reminded me so much of Manko that I had to stop and reply every time she came on screen.
Check it out. Sure her accent is wrong, the eyes are brown, she's tanned and the nose is a bit Wacko Jacko but the proportions, the mannerisms and expressions are pure Manko (even she recognised them!).
I dunno what happened to Mirage as we ended up getting freaky on the sofa and missing the finale.
Come to think of it the new Catwoman in The Batman cartoon is a bit familiar looking too.... could it be that the people who make Superhero cartoons are the same kinda geeks who log on to SG?...comic fans=geeks... nah that can't be it, everyone knows comic fans are out-going, elegant sophisticates like yours truly, they wouldn't be sat in front of a computer screen all day doing their character reference would they now?

Phew! it's been 30 years since I remember the UK being this hot, which is appropriate considering that we are currently celebrating the 30th anniversary of the UK punk scene.
I've been doing my bit with some magazine articles (for example see my myspazz blog) and by helping out my pal Johnny Deluxe with his 100punks project, he's doing some amazing artwork and we've even got legendary punk icon Soo Catwoman lending her support. It's like the movie Ed Wood over here with a rag-tag team of misfits working on pure enthusiasm...
Last week my marvelous muse ms. Manko celebrated a quarter century on the planet and as usual the festivities lasted most of the week. We got up to some interesting hijinks and japes with a typically mix of sex, drugs, punk, fashion, alcohol, art, pop culture, blood, sweat & public transport, all in all a most excellent time was had!
Well, I'm happy today. Full of the joys of spring, London is fan-frikkin-tastic with the sun turned on.
I've been strutting around cocky as Hell, grinning from ear to ear and giggling to myself as I pass teenage Dresden Dolls fans in full regalia, gutter-mouthed Transsexuals as glamorous as Joan Collins, all lips and boobs and attitude, queer-acting straight boys trying to look cool in Soho.
It all pleases me greatly....oops, I trip on the curb and do a poncy little skip to right myself, some butch lad wolf-whistles me HAHAHA...
I've gone proper bone head for the season complimented with tons of eyeliner, glitter and a razor slash on my cheekbone. I wish I could call it a body mod... but the sad fact is that before I passed it on to Manko I had that stupid cold she's been on about lately.
Take my advice: if you are stuffed up, dis-coordinated, clumsy & suffering from a delayed reaction time DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TEACH YOUSELF SHAVING WITH A CUTTHROAT RAZOR!
Actually though I like it, kinda like Action-Man's but a little lower set.
On Thursday I had the immense pleasure to interview a young lady by the name of Ebony Bones.
She's working with Rat Scabies at the moment knocking out some super-fine girly punk tunes, go download her FAB tracks for free on myspace, tell 'em mrATOMIC sent ya.
Then yesterday I went to keep Manko company at her Hair job.
I felt like some kind of enemy agent hairlessly infiltrating the HQ of one of Londons top hairdressers, me without even an eyebrow to my name!
While they piled on the make-up I popped out into the West End feeling full of beans & very metropolitan.
I got requested to bring some paintings down to Tom Tom gallery, met a couple of editors who wanna use my work, gossiped with young BomBom and got a magick deal on a bottle of whisky.
I paid the man £10 for a £2.50 bottle & got the booze and £12.50 change! I think he thought I'd given him £20 and was trying to short-change me.
Today I went to the supermarket & nearly got run down by a crystal (PLASTIC) pumpkin coach, drawn by 2 white horses with pink feather headresses, inside the carriage were a bride'n'groom enjoying a sub-C-list celebrity style "special day". I was singing pseudo Mozart operatic nonsense about it all the way home.
