Artist's Comments

My gran always gets things muddled up. Rabbits mistaken for foxes, children mistaken for penguins, hairdressers mistaken for taxis - you know how it is, when they get to that age. Their eyes start to go. Mrs. Whatshernameagain probably just crashed that old car into a streetlamp or something. You know how it is when they get to that age, didn't ought to be on the road. Didn't ought to be in Homebase either. Triffids and Audreys - daffodils and hosepipes, that's all. What a racket, jesus. Well, what can you do? You know how it is.. when they get to that age.

Homebase horror. I go into that place and see the plants and see the beige, the horrible beige (why is everything in those shops bloody beige?) and something in the part of my mind where the old film reels are kept clicks on. And I look longingly at the sad little venus fly traps with their teeth like needles and think about how nice it would be, how nice if the Triffids came here just for a day.

:iconsoultown:
it is beautifully sketched, yo. what paint did you use for this, gouache?

--
Ribston Pippin'.
:iconsoultown:
and I think it's entirely possible that those are FORK MARKS in the clouds, in which case you go up in my estimation even more.

ahahehehe.. you know I love this one.
something almost spiritual... the cracked earth, tentacles...

Homebase... ever noticed how it makes homes sound like vending-machine donglies (only less bouncy/chewy/pointless)?
:iconlilaims:
Close - chopsticks (I've lost all the forks.. probably under the bed with all the spoons). It's acrylic and watercolour mostly, I think. Thanks for your comments!
:iconlilaims:
Spiritual? Tentacles? That's a hell of a cult you're running.
:iconbonzaialsatian:
I think I need some postcard pictures.. Mormon style...

damn the internet!
Wouldn't think we live in the same flat, would we? (though it is too cold to move) :P
