Adult surrealist piece: Jim Henson with erections.2013 pencil on paper.- Adult. nsfw

Pencil on paper.
The work combines some of my themes using a movement i created called 'Adult Surrealism' invented 2010
I am very interested in censorship, the piece at its base level is about highlighting the hypocrisy of such a position. All the different types of censorship that exist in modern society and media.

Die Hand Hoch (The flag flies). Flag series 1. Pencil crayon paper-2013.

First bit of art i have worked on since finishing my degree .

The flag series came about with my long standing interesting in flags and symbols. Jasper Johns andFrank Stella were heavy influences in this series along with the low brow artists like Ron English (whose work is a transgressive dialogue on America). I  was interested in the symbols of domestic terrorist organisations. I placed Disney characters next to the flags to promote a discussion about this theme.
The title comes from the National Socialist anthem 'The Flag flies' by Horst Wessel and was also a famous painting by Frank Stella.
The flag symbols are: Combat 18 (a racist para military group started in England but has groups in Europe), Animal Liberation Front (with Porky pig), The Aryan Brotherhood (a racist prison gang), and The Golden Dawn (a racist greek political party).

These pieces will be worked upon and finally end up as paintings. Which in time i would like to exhibit, if anyone will show them that is.

Reason to celebrate.. Maggie is dead! She really is dead .

For all those who suffered under the immense cut backs of the social state due to neo liberalism the news that its figurehead, Maggie Thatcher died of a stroke is good news.

For me i could not be happier and i hope her laws and policies that made Britain a colder darker place, threw mentally ill people on to the streets, stabbed soldiers in the back after they served their country, cut pay for nurses, teachers, social workers while increasing hours. Privatised national services at great cost to the taxpayer, increased taxes on the poor while tax cuts for the rich increased. Destroyed our manufacturing industry, ripped communities apart.
Led us in to two crippling recessions that resulted in over three million unemployed (up to 20 per cent of working people unemployed in some cities). Started a war that could have been stopped with diplomacy ending with over a thousand young Argentinian boys dead and over two hundred British soldiers.And spent forty per cent of our tax on building two hundred nuclear missiles in a pathetic and suicidal arms race.

I could go on and on. But i shall end with a wonderfull warm quote from her that summed up her nasty, selfish politics and world view.
'There is no such thing as society, there is individuals and then there is family'.

Am i glad she is dead?
I am delighted.
Good riddance, rot in hell you old bitch.

Dorothy in growth. the basket and dress get smaller. +rough unfinished post+++

re instated captcha.

The doors have a security guard now. Hopefully no more spam,   apologies for that..I also added more to my Marla Olmsted post, since that seems to be popular.
I'm going through the posts and re editing everything, making it more easy to read.

Thanks for viewing.

New Updates, probably leaving blog for good.

This is the rough digital of art i am making at the moment.
The themes are fairly obvious,hardly worth explaining.

I am losing interest in blog, this one is getting spammed way too much and i rarely have visitors if at all. In truth i find its interface so annoying, google changes settings so quickly and with an arrogance that i find galling. Really i do have an issue with any company that treats its customers like that, they earn a fortune from selling our personal details, data tracking  and the adverts we are exposed to daily.Apart from me , i use ad blocking software.
Facebook is the same, terrible arrogance toward its customers.

I have more or less swittched to tumblr and flikr. Flikr being a lot easier to use and tumblr more so.

I might come back and post more work,reformat my posts, make the comments section more secure. Perhaps re install the captcha since i am spammed now because of it being disabled.
Who knows...

Thanks for all that did visit, twas' fun while i was here. Even if i had little interaction and was more looking at others work. It was a nice feeling to see people visiting my posts, though i wonder how many of them are real people and how many just spam bots?

If anyone wants to stay in touch i do have a FB which i can link in a private message or not.
Bye , possibly, for now.

Jon.
