He's a multidisciplinary artist, this was from a series of studies using felt tip

Heavily inspired by the hands of Tony Hart, to whom the T is a tribute.

I like Andy Warhol-
he painted matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs
He painted kids on the corner of the street inhaling drugs
And now he takes his brush and he waits, outside an empty Yates,
singing something something, matchstick fucks and clogs

Very brazen attempt from America these weeks to turn a magician in a Perspex suspension into "art" using only persuasion and guile.

This is a picture by William Blake.


It's been said that this picture was the inspiration behind Metamorphosis; the short story by Francis Kafka.

William Blake also wrote songs, but it's not known if he liked the sport of rugby (union or league).

William Blake was once put on trial for sedition after getting into an argument with a soldier and calling the king a c*nt.

I went to an Andy Warhol exhibit in Toronto a few years ago on a whim. It was underwhelming and overpriced and I left feeling like I'd been conned, which in retrospect is a fitting tribute to the man himself.

Went to a David Hockney exhibition in Cambridge a couple of months ago, loads of it was just mad stuff he'd done on MS Paint or whatever, enjoyed.

Had the pleasure of going to an Ai Weiwei exhibition. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Television.

Television.

What, just giant works of art made outdoors out of smashed up televisions? Doesn't sound very likely.

This is an Art Attack

*smears Craypas™ all over the screen of a 28" Grundig in a branch of Rumbelows*

This is an Art Attack

*dips a 14" black and white portable into some green paint and uses it like a potato stamp*

This is Art Attack! *klaxon*

We all remember the episode where he an homage to Georgia O'Keefe Art Attack out of some dildongs.

[Huxleys Babkins]

I remember when The Head won the Turner prize for that exquisite piece where he forgot to glue feathers onto the canvas so they catapulted across the room when the easel popped up.

Neil Buchanan making a beautiful city skyline from an old bin bag and a load of used tampons.

It's more likely than you think!

Neil Buchanan seemingly just eating a packet of Hob-Nobs, but he opens his mouth mid-chew and reveals he's shaped the oaty mush into a perfect facsimile of Van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night.

Jonny Sparrow in year 7 told me that Neil Buchanan's red Art Attack jumpers cost £7,000 each because they were made out of a special red fabric that wouldn't cause the cameras to strobe.

Fucking hell I heard that one as well! Will Morgan in year 5 though if memory serves it was ten grand not 7.

That's two sources, someone bung it up on Wikipedia.
