Mad Pride have asked me to provide the placards and design tee shirts for the demo on the 26th of October. So here’s the finished item. The papers are starting to break down the proposed cuts, and to be honest they are frightening. Why should the most vulnerable citizens pay for the mistakes of our richest ? Ah… thats right, because they have no voice or power. Glad we live in a caring society eh? Come along on the 26th and support our nations Mad people, help them get the care they deserve!
They are back! They are Mad and they are proud! The Dotmasters have had a long history with the Mad Pride events over the years, providing visuals for their gigs and events. With the swinging cuts planned in both the social services and sickness benefits it seems the time for MAD action is nigh. Mad Pride is supporting survivors of the mental health system to organize a Day of Action on 26th October. This will be just after the release of the Government’s “shock and awe” Spending Review – which will outline cuts from 2011. Specific details of the event will be finalised over the coming week check Mad Pride or here for details.
Met an East End Pearly king today, just round the corner from the studio, Made my day! Haven’t see one on the streets for years, great to see they are still around. The practice of wearing clothes decorated with pearl buttons originated in the 19th century. It is first associated with Henry Croft, an orphan street sweeper who collected money for charity.
Well i suppose it had to happen at some stage, check the new domain name in the address bar. www.dotmasters.co.uk. I resisted it for ages, i don’t even remember the reason now, so there it is.
Playing with some new work, the theme will become apparent with each image release. There are nine in all the series is call Paranoic , it gets darker, trust me.
The Robin Hood Tax folk are putting on the pressure with a new campaign for the start of university’s new term. Mugs and postcards with Dotmasters graphics are at this very minute being collected around the UK by drunken freshers. Thank god one of the items is unusable as roach hopefully making it to the end of the first week.
Read the small print.
An invite an a half thumped onto my doorstep this morning, the postman complained of a hernia and the dog sprained his jaw. With more gold than fort knox and more gucci than Louie 5, Nick walker pulls out all the stops with this invite for his new show, can’t wait to see what he’s been hiding.
While round at Sickboys, snapped his filing cabinet, think we all have a zone for our stickers and he’s got some crackers here.
