Orpheus of the Underworld

During my 2006 Megalo Residency I created an animated etching called Marks. Inspired by an Artist book (etchings) I created in 1994 at the Graphic Investigation Print Studio for my Artists’ Book, Orpheus of the Underworld.

Here is one of the etchings from the residency that went into the animation.

The most obvious still from Marks inspired by my Orpheus Artist book:

I'm revisiting it today as I am doing some inkwinks work here

Miss

September actually Mr Spider

Picture is a random accidental screenshot  

I had an exhibition called ‘Miss’ once. Just etchings. Perhaps my first solo exhibition. ? 

(Was about ‘missing’ rather than anything pertaining to gender. Missing ideas...Missing the point...Missing what is real... you kno, things) Putting this here as I thought would be interesting to revisit these ideas … how would I articulate them now  ?  Ten elephants maybe ..

Some bits and bobs…

Some fine comics: Black Jack by Osamu Tezuka

(Did amazing Buddha series, Astro Boy and Kimba, and so much more)  

Ben Katchor: this comic was a lovely experience to read. The sort of space I need right now. 😁

Adrian Tomine, can’t go wrong. Carves the ordinary into a comic for something amazing. 

Basho 1644-1694

Sparks and 10cc. Bought in Edinburgh. Ashcroft looking fellow, selling on the street (Victoria Street)

Krazy, being and belonging. 

Osamu Tezuka and Basho both from Osaka  🏯

Hajimarimashita!

It took ten elephants to unravel my thoughts.
