illustration friday night : it explains itself

Damn it, the poem is gone, the topic has changed already in a day, but here goes, and it was amazing how quickly the image came for this topic, poor Mama and Dad:


They fuck you up your Mum and Dad
They may not mean to, but that do;
They fill you with the faults they had
Then add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old style hats and coats,
Who half the time were sloppy stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man;
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can
And don't have any kids yourself.

Philip Larkin



sorry if I offended anyone... don't read my blog Mama!

illustration friday night : The Science of Self-Deception

I have given my Moleskine to go to the Moleskine people for the The London Book Fair, a little scared, but I have documented it well, so I can let it go for now.
See here if you want to see more images from this Moleskine.

I was in Melbourne with one of my Sydney friends visiting Ordy. Was really nice, we finally got to see where she lives after being told crazy stories, saw her fabled white possum, so we can vouch for her, she isn't imagining it. Yesterday we went to the Heide Museum, which was good to see, as I had never been there, and there is a possibility one (or a few) of my Ern Malley pieces might be in a show next year there. So now I have seen the spot.

I am now in Queensland with my mother in her big, crazy rented house with it crazed carpets and all the cane toads hanging outside. I have yet to see any snakes... she can tell i am beside myself about the snakes. I have never really got over that phobia, despite seeing them up close in the Northern Territory years ago.

Being just a leg didn't mean that Billy could be a part of the dismembered trophy animal club anymore.

A new Ern Malley piece. This one is inspired by the poem Young Prince of Tyre. If you are new to my blog, and haven't had the Ern Malley Experience, and wonder who he is... look here is the best explanation on the web, in my opinion.
