PLAN AND EXECUTION
I spent the last week in Brighton as part of an art residency at CaC Gallery where I made the above rat gallows/cat scratching post and a few other bits and pieces including the below cyanotype blueprints. (No rats were harmed making any of this, they were bought pre-harmed.) Editions of the blueprints can be bought in the shop.
ESOTERIC PRODUCTS
Mark Tolson and I made these esoteric products for our Mystic Mark Shop. The above Homeopathic Gullibility Cure, “gets to work after only a single gulp, instantly re-energising your incredulity chakras. By building a skeptical particle wall around your naïvety gland it’s also effective at stopping quantum mechanical trickery.” And below, Ghost Cheese is especially churned from the ectoplasm of free-range spirits, (*May contain traces of demons) If you like any of this we also write a monthly ‘astrology’ column for The Skinny magazine in the North and Scotland. They’re all online here. #MysticMark
ACTION MAN: BATTLEFIELD CASUALTIES – THE TOYS
As part of my Join the Army comic I made this poster of three Action Man ‘Battlefield Casualties’. If you’re not already aware of it, the British military have their own line of children’s toys which tend to focus on how much fun war is, (called H.M. Armed Forces). I wanted to make something of an antidote to that. I also recently wrote a short article for Veterans For Peace UK about the project and military advertising in general. You can read it here. These will been shown at the launch exhibition for the comic.
WHAT HE WOULD HAVE WANTED
I found this dried out dead frog on a road in Thailand and decided to immortalise him in an appropriate fashion. I feel like it’s what he would have wanted. This is currently hanging in my bathroom, but I’m willing to sell it for the right price. #Daft #Animals #Space
WEEGIE BOARD
I made these Weegie Boards for contacting dead weegies for the Mystic Mark shop I run with Mark Tolson. In case you’re not familiar with the term, a weegie is a type of Glaswegian. The type that asks you what the fuck you’re looking at and always wants 18p for the bus. £40 from here. Mystic Mark on Facebook #Daft #MysticMark

The opposite of a placebo is now available direct to the public! Despite containing no active ingredients whatsoever, Nocebo can cause a wide range of undesirable effects, from nausea to diarrhea, that is because it’s potency lies entirely inside the human brain! Nocebo merely suggests that it is bad for you, your brain and body does the rest! Try Nocebo today! You’ll almost certainly regret it. #Placebo
