Mixed media on cardboard
Collection: The artist.
Added note: I used my fastest lens in this exhibition, & this did not get the entire artwork.
Signed copy of David Lynch's Lime Green set I bought from the UK Twin Peaks Festival for a charity thing.
This box set is long out of print & very expensive.
"As a member of the Bureau, I spend most of my time seeking simple answers to difficult questions. In the pursuit of Laura's killer, I have employed Bureau guidelines, deductive technique, Tibetan method, instinct, and luck. But now I find myself in need of something new, which, for lack of a better word, we shall call... magic." -Dale Cooper

In Lynch's work, the subconscious if often viewed as a place of conflict, where paranoid, phobias and moments of crisis reveal the negativity and instability of the human condition.
As he asserts, 'Everyone's subconscious is filled with plenty of horror. All the things we don't want to face with our conscious minds are there just waiting for us.' While locality plays an important role in characterising the immensity of these problems (in particular, insular and closed spaces), the challenges are ultimately made worse because the 'problems are inside the people themselves'.
In many of his lithographs, we are presented with an almost infantile outlook, with protagonists engaged in states of confusion, longing and alienation. The use of text - a few words or short phrases inscribed onto the lithographic stone - bestows these often solitary figures with various states of existential distress and emotional anguish reinforced by the titles of the works.

there is a neon JESUS here
dressed like an electric Hank Williams
picking out Bob Dylan on the juke box
trucker cap patrons make fun of his long hair
Jesus smiles when he hears the prayers of Elvis
patrons spit bud light on the bar
"uh oh, I know , I know what I have done"
cries the fat one
jesus says 'there ain't no God, I ain't no son
"you've got a lot of nerve" barks the JUKE
'you betcha' says Jesus
the barmaid asks for a percocet or a vicodin
way out back little Richard is putting on eye liner
robert Johnson tunes his guitar
the devil takes note and offers him a deal
and that's how we got rock n roll
with a pop art kiss
and Kurt Cobain shoots smack and complains of a bellyache
Jesus is tired and ready to go and ready for a breakfast burrito
then a needle drops on Lou Reed's velvet underground (and by some miracle the closet mix too!!!)
"jesus help me find my proper place"
Jesus finishes his beer
and says
"anything for you, Lou"

WIT: I took the selfie as my annual Halloween spirit coming out, and snapped a picture of trees nearby. Superimposed them in Photoshop - I think I was influenced by David Lynch's Twin Peaks, after watching 18 hours of strangeness, and the his fondness of images of heads without bodies floating around in his scenes.

"I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dreams, my dreams of you
In dreams, I walk with you..."

At the 2015 Twin Peaks Festival. She signed one of my copies of the Fire Walk With Me screenplay & an 8X10 shot of Sheryl Lee I took at the 2011 Festival, which I'm holding.
She was a nice lady. She sadly passed away not too long after.

I have some very very big news guys: I got accepted into the Gobelins School of Image in Paris to study photography for the next 2 years!!! It's a very good school with a serious reputation that will make me able to make money out of my pictures and it was so very touching to see the pride shining into my parents' wet eyes.
Absolutely nothing would have happened without your priceless support on here though so I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making me stronger and making me believe in what I do all along the way! You guys are my strength. I'm just so deeply grateful and can't believe what is happening to me at the moment. THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU ALL. And it's only the beginning.

"Lay your sleeping head, my love,
Human on my faithless arm;
Time and fevers burn away
Individual beauty from
Thoughtful children, and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral:
But in my arms till break of day
Let the living creature lie,
Mortal, guilty, but to me
The entirely beautiful."
- WH Auden
