The 950 Million Nursery

Royal Bank of Scotland donates it's 950 Million Pounds in bonus payments to avoid cuts in school and nursery budgets. On Saturday 26th RBS inaugurated a newly secured flagship-nursery on Bishopsgate....NOT.

The new faces of protest

The New Review asked me if I would Portray some of the people behind recent student protest in a studio session. I suggested we should do it in the style of "The Family". portraits of the most powerful politicians in the USA commissioned by the Rolling Stone Magazine in 1976. The Indy agreed and they all received the Richard Avedon treatment.  

A hint of political symbolism (and don't worry: I know Avedon is the better photographer).

Adam Ant

...might have his mental conditions, but when I met him he definitely must have had a good day. No PRs, no hair and make-up artists, no fancy hotelroom. Just the real Adam Ant in his crazy flat. You don't get that very often these days.

The Laundry

The Police seem to have recently become overly fashion conscious.  Taking photos and notes on what people are wearing at demos and even raiding protestor’s houses in their desperate search for style tips.

So at last Saturday's Crude Awakening the Space Hijackers proudly presented "THE LAUNDRY":

A helpful team of laundrette ladies gave people an instant restyling that the police fashion hounds were not able to keep up with.

Ian McShane

"If you want to look like a gangster you have to stare past the person you're talking to. As if that person was already gone." Ian taught me when I asked him to give me that gangster face.

 

Tried that in front of a mirror?
