alice 2017



"green tea party" is on show at the "alice 2017" exhibition at the roppongi stripes space gallery, 15 to 23 july - numerous other distinguished artists - more info here

actually, i wasn't intending to join this exhibition - i feared everyone getting bored with "alice" (especially trevor brown alice!)? - but now maybe wish i had done something new - "green tea party" is taken from span art gallery's private collection

rip glb.



i’ve just heard - final printed issue of “gothic and lolita bible” came out april this year (which suggests it could live on in digital form or something?) - harajuku street culture mag “fruits” also closing after 20 years due to lack of cool kids to photograph any more? - end of an era! - i’m still amazed they used my art for a cover (number 24, back in 2007) but apparently they were at the nananano x trevor exhibition last year talking about maybe working with me again..? - i repainted the pink skull in “normal” colours after this cover illustration, btw



glossy sheet of stickers!

INSIDE artzine





just received the new issue (along with a generous bunch of back issues) of "inside artzine" - number 19, which includes a splendid 8 page piece on me (plus a half page book review) - as i didn't want to do an interview as such, the text is gonzo fiction incorporating some highlights from my “ask me anything” page - the magazine is hellishly beautiful (with the emphasis on hell) and high quality - definitely recommended! - japan readers can find back issues at vanilla gallery 

and there’s a 4 page tb spread in the vol 11 spring issue of “girls and corpses” - why'd i agree to this? - i regret it - the layout is pitifully banal - headline lazily taken off the lousy trevor brown wikipedia - you can tell their heart wasn't in it, despite all the reassurances it was "amazing" - they were equally unconcerned about sending me a copy - finally got these scans from a fellow artist featured in the thing - never seen it but can't recommend it (i mean really, who actually buys it? - it’s not remotely sexy, goth or funny - i don’t get it - probably just vanity publishing for the editor who gets off on it?)
