their dreams are dead

a load of pictures of the masks and stuff. back to bristol tomorrow so perhaps some more sketchbook scans, listen to slingshot dakota...

I made these masks for the project im currently doing/finishing. The project was called 'balance/support/enclose/disperse'. I decided to do mine about child manipulation through religion, i got a lot of inspiration for this from the documentary 'jesus camp' so quite a lot of this is based on that film, some is to do with other stuff. The first mask is enclose, basically someone having a religion or ideal forced onto them like a mask and they can't get out. The second is support, its pretty much an old guy who's the person who's supporting/forcing religion on them and helping them out (or not? you decide). The third is disperse, it's someone turning into a 'god warrior' (which they call themselves a lot in jesus camp) and they're basically dispersing of their true identity and opinion through their mouth. The last is easily the worst mask i think, it's balance, basically the balance between good and evil in the process of making kids dedicate themselves to religion, the face on the right is a happy smiling child and the right is some kind of monster they've turned into from being forced this militant religion on them... i've taken some photos of them on kids i'll post in a bit.

i drew this for a show bob and jamie put on. i did the cold snap part on paint cos i dont have a scanner at dover. it was a really good show, good to see some people i havent seen for a while and good to stomp my feet to never again. all the bands were great.

happy holidays you bastard

should have some pictures of stuff ive achieved with this paint sometime soon, pictures of these masks i'm doing as well and them on some kids. buy the never again 7".

Currently making some big papier mache masks for a project on child manipulation and religion. Should have some pictures of these on kids when theyre done pretty soon. Papier mache and chicken wire piss me off.

the endless blockade

well, i haven't put anything on here for a while because i have no access to a scanner and although i put other stuff on this, this blog was mainly created to put my art on it. I'm starting at bristol on monday and have a load of summer work i've been doing for there so expect some stuff up here real soon. listen to the endless blockade, listen to plutocracy, listen to infest, listen to siege, listen to mind eraser, listen to loaded for bear.
