My name's Johnny...
"an' tell all the commies, my name's Johnny, Johnny PISSOFF"
I'm in the process of throwing out old cassettes(!) which have been hanging around in boxes since a very long time ago & found a wonderful compilation which contained The Fugs delightfully titled 'Johnny Pissoff Meets The Red Angel'- this was drawn in response...

insert band name here...
London Fields sketches - he walked by too quickly to clock what the t-shirt slogan was so I took the liberty of inventing it myself - probably some no-mark landfill indie band - I'd have remembered if they were called Cöck Spawn* or something like that.
* the unnecessary umlaut is important in the naming of metal bands don't you know?

Somebody reminded of this piece I directed for the Monkeydust series many moons ago so thought I'd post it - the talk of government targets all sounds depressingly familiar (contains sexual swearwords)

Just finished this for Inside Out magazine for an article about stealing from work commissioned by the delightful Amelia Clark.

Michael Holden's All Ears 5th March (& my last one)
Sadly this my LAST EVER All Ears. (although in the print edition it's credited to 'name in here')
I only officially found this out earlier in the week which is rather disappointing in that unbeknownst to The Guardian, all through the run I've been secretly implanting symbols within each illustration with the plan that if you laid all of them out on a large flat surface they'd spell out a secret message that can only be read from space* (something about lizard people, the Holy Grail & Rupert Murdoch etc.)
So much for my masterplan...
Anyway thanks to Stephen & Sara at The Guardian for being a pleasure to work with over the last 3 years or so & have enjoyed Mr Holden's articles (despite never having met him!) at least I get my weekends free now
PS *this may be a lie
(& milk in coffee's for wimps & little girls, - FACT!)
Over & out, here's the article
(Article by Michael Holden)
Mid-morning at a busy sandwich and coffee concession in the middle of the city, and one young businessman collected his, presumably daily, sought-after beverage and returned with a look of what could only be described as woe.
Man 1 "I hate the way they shout it out."
Man 2 "What?"
Man 1 (quietly, as if in shame) "'Milky Americano'. It's the word milky, she says it, 'mill-key', really strings it out. She shouts it when I order, too."
Man 2 (right first time) "You think it's a sign of weakness, having extra milk in your coffee?"
Man 1 (embarrassed to be read so rightly) "No, I … "
Man 2 "Yeah, you do!"
Man 1 "I don't. I just take the trouble to say, 'With plenty of milk', and they turn that into milky, and shout it out, 'Mill-key!'"
Man 2 (half joking) "Well, it's a dynamic environment – they have their own way of getting things done."
Man 1 (playing along) "Yeah, but I'm a key part of that environment, I'm driving it."
Man 2 "You're just one person. And you'll be the only one that gives a fuck."
Man 1 "I reckon this could be bigger than you think."
Man 2 "You're not alone?"
Man 1 "You never know."
Man 2 "Get on Twitter, start a revolution."
Man 1 "It's blocked at work."
Man 2 "Do it when you get in."
Man 1 "It never bothers me at night."
Man 2 "What does?"
Man 1 (emphatic) "Other stuff."
Man 2 (retreating, quite probably wisely) "Right."
