Pregnant Suicide Girls beware!, my dear friend & “Swastika Sister” Kid Banano (a.k.a kidxbanano, cybershadow, Marco Bonetti) died last month.
I’m sure the little bugger is already shopping around for a punky new mummy (last time he went for a lady that owned a toyshop).
Any Christian Death fans out there may remember him as the cover model for “Sex and Drugs and Jesus Christ”.

Kid was a Lovecraft obsessed, drugged up outside artist with an irrepressible imagination and an obscure yet infectious sense of humour.
He was well loved and will be sorely missed, caio Kidoooo!!!!

Good news!
any fans of my artwork please take note.
Those wonderful people at Zero Boutique http://www.zeroboutique.com/index.php have added a nice batch of sketches and paintings by your truly to the cornucopia of delightful art prints available on their website.
This includes several sketches featuring the lovely miss Manko, as well as various other luminaries of the freak scene, my Tokyo paintings etc... all for a measely $5 a throw, it's the bargain of the century so get over there and check it out.

Well it's cold and dreary here in London town.
I'm keeping busy though, Manko and I have been out and about doing interviews and reviews for local mags we've recently attentded a shit hot Suicide show and interviewed the wonderful artist mr Andrew Logan about his artwork, The freaky extravaganza that is Altenative Miss World, his friendship with Divine and so forth.
I'm looking forward to opening for Sputnik2 on saturday, Mr Deluxe has decided to dress as a punked out version of the Black Swan (from Swan Lake) & requests me clad in my frilly Gothic/Lolita attire (you've probably already seen Manko in the outfit I refer to on her page) should be a blast!
HA HA HA

having been offline for the last month I'm back, settled into my new flat and getting reaccquainted with my poor abused computer.
i'm also delighted to finally be reunited my table, desklamp and lightbox and am working through sketches colouring and organising.
Things are heating up again in old London town the current freak scene is gaining strength.
Miss Manko and I have been getting more exposure check us out in the Electrogogo feature of the latest issue of Disorder magazine.
We've also been working on articles for Alternative London magazine interviewing Dresden Dolls and superstar DJ Mark Moore.
My customised shirts and t-shirts are now selling at a delightful little shop in Soho called Unknown Peoples Collective, and it looks as if I'll be exhibiting my paintings again soon.
I'll also be performing again with Fist Fuck Deluxe in January, on the 29th we'll support ex_sigue Sigue Sputnik frontman Martin Degville with his new project amusingly titled "Sputnik 2, the future".
Yes it's a good time to be mr Atomic, I feel like I've woken up from some weird waking dream and am now in a position to start making sense of things, just as well really with the new year hovering there at spitting distance.

'Ello guys and gals, I've just been loading up some scans of my paintings into a picture file.
Please feel free to pop in and take a peek, there are some rather lovely ones, if I do say so myself, of the delectable miss Manko as well as sketches made live at clubs and gigs.
enjoy...

My name is Atomic listen to me while I tell you a little story, eyeliner, glitter, lipstick, rouge. oooh 'ello I like your shoes, false eyelashe, pearls on strings, these are a few of my favourite things, dressed like a queen but hung like a king, i'm a TV with a deadly sting, I'm the bomb with a fizzing fuse, dressed to kill & born too loose, like a panther through the jungle stalking, LONDON FREAKS! CATWALKING!
