Painted Moonjocks 12″ Cover

Suzie — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:47:19 +0000

Most of my work is a mash of all different types of techniques including traditional and digital but this time I wanted to just paint the whole thing. The canvas I used is exactly 12 inches and the inner label canvasses are 6 inches. I feel it is not correct to use metric when describing record covers.

It’s for Mungolian Jetset, it’s called Moon Jocks and Prog Rocks, it’s disco, and it’s coming out on Smalltown Supersound soon.

New work – I canz has cute eyes

Suzie — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:46:48 +0000

Inevitable work from someone with chronic long term exposure to lolcats, B3TA, Strongbad, MySpace, Rather Good et al. Here are the printed cards of my new ‘Graphic Interchange Format’ paintings. That’s the .gif file extension for all your geekeroonies… and here’s an emoticon for good measure

Acrylic on canvas – now digital print on card.

Mill Co. exhibition

Suzie — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:41:39 +0000

In May I took part in the first Mill Co. group exhibition held at The Russian Club in East London. The theme of the exhibition was community (as befitting a co-operative) so I made a series of paintings to celebrate the crap, cute and wrong images people share on interwebz communities like MySpace – titled the Graphic Interchange Format Paintings after the humble .gif image format.

Lots of great people took part in the show including Patternity, Si Scott, Richard Kelly, Kevin Cummins, Karina Lax, Lisa Stannard, Inventory and loads of other people too. It was a reet boozy doo, collecting the most women from Rochdale in one East London venue ever.

Creative Review were there, and The Ballad Of too, plus Dazed and Confused and various other other happening people popped in to drink the free booze look at the work.
You can buy the work from the show in the shop and all proceeds go to the Mill Co. Foundation – which is set up to help children with health and learning disabilities get involved in making stuff and being creative.

Here’s my work – The Graphic Interchange Format Paintings – acrylic on canvas, none of your digital shit.

Tree mural makes perch for pigeon light

Suzie — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:54:30 +0000

I decided to paint a tree on the walls of my apartment – inspired by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and her spotted tree installations and the beautiful wrapping of bare trunks with tiny white lights in the dark of the Scandinavian winter.

Also it serves as a handy perch for my Ed Carpenter designed “pigeon light” which has for the past few years been suspended precariously in the middle of various unsuitable habitats but can now perch safely on the boughs of this painting.

Get out the freaking WAY Enid Blyton!

In what teeters between being one of the most self indulgent loads of old crap that has ever gushed from my idiot brain to a masterstoke of highly commercial genre changing childrens writing, I have put pen to paper and started a childrens book.

It’s about my two cats; Chairman Miaow, who is called “The Grand Wizard” in the book and Sooty, who is called “His Very Charming Shadow”. It’s about co-dependence, how one part of someone else makes up the bits you don’t have and vice versa. It’s also about the hidden charms of cats (read people) and how sometimes the people who take the longest to get to know are the people who are really worth getting to know.

It’s also about Britain and the shocking state of the country.

Here is a quick snap of the cover, I will of course be illustrating it myself.

I’ll give U some money 2 buy a dirty mind

Straight outta Norway! Here’s the design I did for Ost & Kjex (cheese and crackers) and the mighty Mung’s cover of the little purple fellas filthy ditty Dirty Mind.

Released in a limited run of 10″ vinyl which was so limited I don’t even have a copy myself. If you don’t own a copy either you can download it from the information superhighway, put it on your mp3 player of choice and then jerk around your living room while gawping at this on your computer screen. A truly authentic musical experience.

Mungolian Jetset “We gave it all away, and now we are taking it back”

Jamie Huskisson — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:18:07 +0000

Mungolian Jetset released an album earlier this year, with all the stuff they gave away on free download in the past reworked and generally more epicly Munged up. It was released on Smalltown Supersound. I did the cover and here it is, showing the Mung rampaging through the deadlands eating some blahs along the way. He chomps down on kebabs made of heads, as you do.

It came with a 20 page booklet too:

Here’s my latest cover work for the release of Eurora by Fjordfunk with Blackbelt Anderson and Brennan Green mixes. Out soon in one of those old fashioned record shops.

I did this using Crayolas, Color Explosion Black Rainbow – available at all good newsagents and shops that sell mainstream stationary for kids.
