You may of seen the posters, Tee shirts, placards or the shutters on Curtain Road. Well here’s the silkscreen print. Designed for Mad Pride’s current campaign against the benefit cuts, this is a two colour hand pulled silk screen in an edition of 50 measuring 57cm x 38cm on 300gsm somerset antique white.
25 of the edition of 50 are available from me here at the price of £30 each, all proceeds going to Mad Pride

Show time
So it was a mad 24 dash to get the thing together but 6 of the 9 of the ‘Capture’ series went on show at the Black Rat Press gallery in Rivington Street last night. A series of stencil painted canveses depicting famous cctv footage. A decision to make a more interactive element at the last minute, resulted in manic midnight carpentry, thanks shaun. The final 3 of the series will appear over the course of the show, shambolic i know, but its been hectic and blah blah blah.
It was a busy night a big thank you to all who came! A special thank you to Fatty and his Viking longboat.
More photos of the works can be found here
So the Mad Pride tribe came together for the day of action in Hyde park at speakers corner yesterday. As i arrived the effigy sporting a double faced head (made during an effigy making workshop at Core arts the week before) hung from a tree. As the chill wind blew, it spun to reveal the lying eyes of both cameron and osbourne. The demonstrators sporting their new Mad pride tee shirts and holding the placards of earlier posts, listened to rallying cries of defiance and sad tales of psychiatric miss adventure. These cuts shouldn’t hurt our societies most vulnerable but it seems that those whose voices are the weakest will be the ones who pay the dearest. After poetry, call to arms and a two minute scream, the effigy was beaten with some gusto, its entrails (sausages) finally being cooked on an open fire made of its body and devoured by the crowd.
The event was important in generating a sense of unity among the displaced and medicated, in these troubled and stressful times there may not be much that separates the sane from the mad, there but for the grace of god go i.

Embossed and 3mil thick
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.
