This is Vagina Soup.
An unashamed Warhol ripoff.
It’s 70x100 cm, in pencil and felt pen.
I brought it home today and hung it above my bed.
I can keep it for free, if I like. But if you’d like to take it home, it will be £900.

Today’s good thing was kneeling on my studio floor and finishing this drawing off.
I was in good company today.
Laura was in and we talked of many things-
The pill.
Jeremy Kyle.
The Nasty Party’s idea to limit benefit payments.
Farting.
Hanging one of my prints on a toilet wall and colouring it while shitting.

Days with Lady Laura Price are never dull.

This drawing is approx a metre by a metre and a half.
Its title is Everyone You Meet Knows Something You Don’t.
I used coloured pencils and felt pens to draw it.
I will need £1200 from you if you would like to take it home.

This, hot off the press.
Not sure what to call it yet, but it’s big.
It’s felt pens on photographic paper.

Here’s some video of it being drawn-

I bought this piece of paper as a roll end from a printers in the town where I live.
I did not measure but you can see in relation to the figures in the video how big the piece is.
In my mind, this is where I dwell.
And in April, I will go to New York, a place I have never been but imagine looks much like this drawing.

No?

This is called Your Voodoo Will Screw You.
The paper is 70x100cm but the image is slightly smaller.
While I was drawing this, I was having a conversation with a friend about witchcraft and superstition and so on.

He told me that someone had used voodoo on him once.
I asked him if he found that scary.
‘Quite the opposite,’ he said, ‘It meant the person felt so completely hopeless and was at the end of knowing what to do or of how to control me any longer. I’d won.’

This is a hand coloured print of a drawing called Breakfast in the Chapel.
I was doing this drawing, the original, in my friends house, around the time of my 47th birthday.
My friends house used to be an old chapel.
And was once owned by Richard Branson.

This is an A1 print coloured with felt pens and coloured pencils.

You Were Once Mine; My Valentine
I began this on Valentines day.
It’s about lost love and love never regained.
It’s about people who break your heart and don’t give a toss.

Conversely, it’s happy and colourful, as is love itself.

The right kind, that is.

This is called SELF.
It began as a self portrait, but quite frankly, ended up an unintelligible, tangled mess.
Sort of like my life this year.
This is the last in a series of ‘bad’ head pictures that I will be drawing.
From now on in, it’s happy-clapping all the way.
A new year soon, a new outlook, a new way of looking at the world and a new lot of drawings that dwell on the good rather than the not-good.
Can I pull it off?
I don’t know.
The content of my head is dictated by the events of my life.

Or is it the other way round?

Here’s another one, called Flow.
I started it a few months ago.
The man with the hammer was initially done to represent my father, building a city.
Milky the Dollar Dog is there, along with photographs of me and my brother and mother, a hand full of holes, a deadline and how YOU have absolved yourself of everything you have done.

That’s about all I can explain.

This drawing is entitled Enough Is Enough, But Love Isn’t.
I won’t say anything more about it.
You can come to your own conclusion.
Art is more fun that way, don’t you think?!
Interpreting it for yourself?
Identifying similarities and attaching your own story to it?

This the the First Big One I Ever Drew.
This came about after the suicide of my father, a not very pleasant experience for the family, and probably less for my father.
I found a big roll of Fabriano paper in a charity shop and emptied the contents of my head onto it with pen.

It’s about 2 metres long, maybe more, and about 1.5 high.
It’s done in various felt pens and black ink.
It’s a little bit worse for wear on the edges from being pinned to walls and from having been carted from house to house and now studio.
