This was a commission from my friend the acid tongued social commentator and professional busker Ian Adamson for his EP “Bread and Circuses”. It was also a chance to pay homage to Willem DeKooning heavily referencing his superb painting “Excavation” from 1950. Mr Adamson’s cruel and incendiary dismantlings of all things at the bleeding edge of NOW can be found within his blog at sugarthepill.wordpress.com. Go there and feast.

Done as a homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jasper Johns. Referencing the work of your heroes always feels uncomfortably close to stealing from them. Although, if you become exceedingly good at it then you will have a lucrative career in forgery and will no longer care what they think.

This was done for Rob as payment for making this site. Thank you for pointing out that this was a very cheap thing for me to have done to a friend. Sancho the Fat refers to Rob’s website name (and possibly also his secret alter ego) and I thought I was being dead clever writing it in Spanish. As I used Babel Fish for the translation, this is almost certainly not how any Spaniard would write this.
