A Fairy and her raven


Cannibalism




When making the first series Oh No! (after Maurice Noble and Philip Deguard) 2014, completely by accident a child rammed a toy tanks gun through three of the canvases that were stacked against a wall. 

Fortunately this provided a way through a problem i had with the work and I have continued to find something that is counter to the material of the work.

The drawings above were put into a summer shed to gain some tanning in the sun as this is often cited as a problem when auctioning the original work. 

3 days later I discovered they had been nibbled probably by mice.

The Ghetto





Leni and Walt








'Olympia premiered for Hitler's 49th birthday in 1938. Its international debut led Riefenstahl to embark on an American publicity tour in an attempt to secure commercial release.[26] In February 1937, Riefenstahl enthusiastically told a reporter for the Detroit News, "To me, Hitler is the greatest man who ever lived. He truly is without fault, so simple and at the same time possessed of masculine strength".[27] She arrived in New York City on 4 November 1938, five days before Kristallnacht (the "Night of the Broken Glass").[28] When news of the event reached the United States,[28] Riefenstahl publicly defended Hitler.[28] On 18 November, she was received by Henry Ford in Detroit. Olympia was shown at the Chicago Engineers Club two days later.[28]Avery Brundage, President of the International Olympic Committee, praised the film and held Riefenstahl in the highest regard.[29] She negotiated with Louis B. Mayer, and on 8 December, Walt Disney brought her on a three-hour tour showing her the ongoing production of Fantasia.[28]'

Martin Cahill

  • 'Whatever it is you say I am, I am not. Whatever it is you want from me, I will give. Whatever it is you take from me, you can take. What is it you can do to me? The worst thing you can do is kill me, after that I won't care, I am still free.'


There is no mention on the wikipedia site about his alleged abuse by priests




Badfellas by Paul Williams




 

Leaving court with ticket t shirt and boxers on his head. Allegedly abused as a child he develops a disdain for authority and in this court appearance, from which he drops his trousers, he shows cartoon character boxer shorts and t shirt, taking the mick out of the authorities.
