Big Squirrel / Strange Death Of Liberal England

2 colour design 45x64cm (screenprint)

"Once I had printed my first poster I was hooked - whilst waiting to hear back from big labels, promoters and venues I busied myself honing my skills and providing friends' bands with lavish posters.

This was a crazy night, Big Squirrel (play their audio above) are believe it or not an acoustic duo and brought the roof down, the same roof that was rebuilt after Ken Russell torched it whilst filming the concert scenes in The Who's rock opera "Tommy".

The small X at the end of the pier marks the spot where I fell in the sea and nearly drowned as a child... little did I know at the design stage, that it would also be the spot I'd throw the few remaining posters into the sea in a drunken rage when a certain Sadie wouldn't let me stay at hers after geeing me up all night! ...Ah drunken melodrama.
'I am an artist after all' I remember thinking the next day.   

P.S. sorry, I don't normally litter the street let alone throw things in the sea"
