Friends of The dotmasters, Ubermorgen and James Powderly release this must have collection of USA torture classics straight from the forgotten holes where they keep all the forgotten victims.
TIME LIFE announces the release of the TORTURE CLASSICS COLLECTION. Torture Music is the kind of music that’s perfect for sitting in the Afghan or Iraqi Desert, sharing a prisoner for a night, or relaxing in a military barack or a CIA black site in some godforsaken country on a lazy afternoon. It’s music that just makes you feel free and drives others crazy. But, the artists included in the TORTURE CLASSICS COLLECTION have taken the Torture Music sound and given it a psychotic and everlasting quality. This Torture Music compilation includes 60 songs, tons of images, uncensored videos, pdfs and extra bonus material. The Ultiimate Collection DOWNLOAD-DVD inlcudes both The White Site Album and The Black Site Album.

Random Weekend
It was a whistle stop tour of East and West Sussex this weekend. Ted and Claire’s in Haywards Heath, for a messed up night in the nicest tent i have ever not stayed in, then Poynings for a visit to Grange farm, fun wasps and a swiming pool and then onto Sam Haggerty’s pikey camp for a celebration of final planning permission on the workshops in the wood. Allot of different places and people with one mission, to stay up all night and talk nonsense (check the photo for confirmation of it)
Ubu web
Saw this site ages ago and loved it! Followed a link to it today, to find it had quadrupled in size. A great resource for all those weird avant guarde films you can never find. There are hundreds of films in this archive they range from Not I by S. Beckett which is absolutely terrifying, to Fat Boy Slim’s weapon of choice which is frankly silly. Well worth a visit, Ubu Web

Zadok & I
Found some stuff Zadok and i did earlier this year that never saw the light of day. It was fun to work with one of the finest drawing machines i have ever met perhaps there will be more to come later this year….who knows? You can check out his stuff at Plastic Bones . Those of you who were paying attention to last Saturdays episode of Sherlock Holmes you may of noticed that he was responsible for allot of the graffiti in that episode. Anyhow here’s a couple of stencils I cut from the Z’s sketch’s.
The one below is sprayed on some mulberry paper that a friend brought me back from Bhutan.
Camel Balls
Lost in translation
So to return to the previous blog entry of Ill communication. Here’s the final image of a recent commission for Japan, the guy buying it saw a similarity to the work of a Japanese woodcut master Kitagawa Utamaro. High praise indeed. So with a series of misunderstood emails later, 3 canvases and a few days the finished image is completed.
