Check it out, sweethearts - the latest wonderful video from friend and collaborator dou_ble_you, filmed in the environs of the Portabello Road - and starring myself! What more could you wish for? Oh yeah - when you're done drooling, why not pay a visit to UU's flickrstream, where you can see his many other fab works of art (several of which also feature myself, alone and in the company of Six Inch Killaz)...

Six Inch Killaz: The Cutting Edge

"Bossanova" (2009). Montage: dou_ble_you. Colouring: Luis Drayton.

* * * *

Just thought I'd direct your attention to a brand new set of images I've just finished collaborating on with artist/friend dou_ble_you... Entitled "Six Inch Killaz: The Cutting Edge", they're a collection of montages created by UU and coloured in by myself, no less! Go take a look, and you'll see that UU has utilised (along with a whole other buncha stuff) imagery from the Six Inch Killaz fanzine "Bake a Cake Make a Bomb", a copy of which you can order yourself here...

Scum of the Earth

I don't usually pay any attention to the press - buncha walking-dead dinosaurs choking on their own shit, dammit - but this recent article by Jan Moir of the Daily Mail - whose very existence succeeds in shaming 200 millenia of human progress - was just too much to ignore. Ms. Moir, as a bisexual male (technically bisexual, that is - femme is what turns me on, I just don't give a shit what lies between the legs) living with the constant threat of Sudden Death Syndrome, and on behalf of my bisexual wife, allow me to politely inform you that you are nothing less than the scum of the earth.

However, seeing as the current Chairman of the PCC Editors' Code of practice Committee is one Paul Dacre (also current editor of the Daily Mail), I'm guessing it'd be more effective to hit the Mail where it hurts and let their advertisers know exactly what kind of stuff their adverts are appearing alongside... (Also at the Facebook campaign page - a list of Mail advertisers, their email addresses and phone numbers...) Oh yeah - for a neat summary of this kind of hatred, and its overall effect on civilisation, check out the ever-dope Mr. Charlie Brooker's excellent article; and The Daily Quail for a pant-pissingly, knicker-shittingly funny parody...

The Mysteries of bunny M...

"bunny M @ the BBC" (2009). Illustration: bunny M. Photo: Luis Drayton.

"Little to nothing is known for certain about bunny M. Although there is some talk of bunny M's status as an oracle, prophet, or conversely as a vandal, or 'fortuneteller', the truth is no-one knows exactly who, or what, bunny M is. At this point there are no recorded accounts of encounters, exchanges, or even physical sightings anywhere in the world. Recently, however, there has been a growing influx of hints loosely suggesting bunny M's whereabouts; the mysterious public appearance of visual gifts signed by bunny M, in and around some of the major U.S. cities, lead many to believe bunny M is often among us - unwitnessed, yet present. It has been rumoured (albeit with some discrepancy regarding the details) that bunny M occasionally keeps company with a squirrel named decimal, who eats only potato chips."

* Update: Since this communique was published, the cult of bunny M has spread beyond the U.S. and into Europe; for proof of which, the above photo, taken by the author of this blog in a phone box on Wood Lane, White City, (opposite BBC TV Centre). To experience for yourself the mysteries of the blessed bunny M, click here; here to see bunny M's flickrstream; and here to read The Book of Bunny M (bunny M's blog)...

Playing Cards, Pigeons and Pop Art...

Hey there, party people! Sorry for the age-long gap between posts - I've been busy as hell lately! Thank Burroughs some of my efforts have been directed toward creating new material, however - not least of which, a whole buncha collaborations I've been working on with fab artist and even fabber friend dou_ble_you... In particular, we've been putting together a whole new batch of playing cards for UU's Duchampian Snap project - and if that ain't enough for y'all, UU's also found time to create two fantastic new videos for the Six Inch Killaz songs Jackie and Rubber Drugette! Now, you may remember that I had the privilege, a couple of months ago, of meeting UU in person - well, a few weeks back, I only had the pleasure of repeating the experience! UU and I spent the afternoon drinking on the Portabello Road (for the second time), after which we made our way back to White City, where we enjoyed dinner in the company of Pauline and Steph... Oh yeah - while he was with us, UU took the opportunity of filming Pauline as she fed the pigeons from our back balcony - and this delightful video is the result! When you've finished watching it, go check out UU's cool-ass photos (and video) of our second rendezvous - and keep watching this space for news of further UU/Luis D collaborations in the very near future...
