Nightcruising in London exhibition

Thursday 5 November, Nightcruising will be screened on a loop from 6pm - 9pm at Matt Roberts Arts, 25 Vyner Street, London.

Nightcruising is a video made using footage that I shot on Hampstead Heath, but re-edited and messed about with so it's eerie, rather than hot. Parts of it are still pretty hot though. More information here.

Brad Pitt swastika

A coincidence.

In 2007 I made a piece of work called 120 Days in the Manson Family Republic (pictured below). It included two mock posters for an imagined movie of the same title, starring Brad Pitt as Charles Manson. In both posters, Pitt is pictured with a swastika on his forehead.

In 2009, Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds was released, starring Pitt as a Jewish Nazi-hunter who carves swastikas into the foreheads of Nazis (that is, those that he doesn't simply kill).

Drawing: Doodling on Oct 29th


A doodle in my diary today. I didn't notice when I was drawing this, but the quote at the bottom of the page is Charles Dickens: "He would make a lovely corpse".

Drawing: Bad Influence

Found this when I was tidying my desk. These are notes I made when I was editing Bad Influence. The names are blacked out because I was using real names in my notes, not porn names.

I have no idea what all the sums are at the bottom of the page, something to do with frames maybe. The written notes were jotted down during late-night telephone calls with Paul Morris.

The sentence "BURN OUT IS THE BIG PROBLEM" refers to an effect filter I'd put on the entire video that made the image high-contrast, but also made the whites look over-exposed. I thought it looked cool, until I saw it on a proper TV set, where every scene looked like it had been filmed in the glare of an atomic explosion.

This document demonstrates that, no matter how much work there is to be done, I always find time to aimlessly doodle pictures of men's butts.

Mailbox: Built to Fuck guy

Here's another fine specimen from my email inbox, wearing one of our shirts.

Just like Ronseal*, he does exactly what it says on the T.

*For non-UK readers: Ronseal is a quick-drying woodstain product, advertised with the slogan "It does exactly what it says on the tin". Come to think of it, not only is this guy built to fuck, but he can probably also stain wood.
