ART THE ARMS FAIR

I’ve new work in The Opening Night of Art the Arms Fair group show on Monday. Cassetteboy is playing too. Tickets are available from artthearmsfair.com or the event page above. All proceeds go to Campaign Against Arms Trade . This Thomas the Tank sculpture will be on sale as well as a bunch of prints, comics & postcards to raise enough money to really #stopDSEI next time. We’ve also just heard that some stands setting up at the DSEI arms fair are up to 4 days behind schedule thanks to the actions of everyone who have been helping Stop The Arms Fair. Anyone who has put on any kind of exhibition before knows that being even one day behind schedule is a nightmare. I’m so happy.

PAT MILLS: THE POLITICS OF 2000AD

I was lucky enough to meet Pat Mills at Glasgow Comic Con (founder of 2000AD & writer of Charley’s War, Judge Dredd etc) and was surprised and honoured to find out he likes my work. Here he is giving a great talk recently (starts: 2:49) about the politics of comics & 2000AD and at the end gives a hearty plug for both Join the Army and the Action Man: Battlefield Casualties films which I made with director Price James, et al.

THE MOONLANDINGZ

I drew this for a poster for the excellent The Moonlandingz, a fictional band made up of members of Fat White Family and The Eccentronic Research Council who are doing a real tour. They are very good at doing it and you should go see them do it. Tickets released on Friday at 9am here. The actual poster is below, after the jump.

COALITION OF BIGOTS

After the fantastic and unexpected news from last night’s election, albeit with the end result being a Coalition of Bigots between the Tories and DUP, I think it’s about time we got started building that Anti-Thatcher Museum I was on about awhile ago.I reworked the old Tory logo into something more approrpriate and I’m taking pre-orders for screenprinted t-shirts of it in order to raise some funds to get the museum off the ground. If you’d like one they’re £15 from hereI’m going to be working on the museum with Gavin Grindon who curated the The Museum of Cruel Designs at Dismaland, Disobedient Objects at the V&A and the museum on the Israeli occupation inside the The Walled Off Hotel. It’s going to take awhile, but it’s going to be good!Onwards!
