Amorous Enthusiasm

Amorous Enthusiasm

Look into my eyes. Not around the eyes. Into the eyes…. With the deft touch of a stage hypnotist at a late night Butlins show this lady is trying to convince you of her amorous intentions by using the power of her eyes alone. She believes (and rightly so) that a little enthusiasm can go a long way. Who are you to dissuade her from trying? My mind is clearly in the gutter…

Almost Original Grace

Almost Original Grace

No one’s perfect are they? Grace here comes pretty close but does occasionally have impure thoughts. She’s only human after all. It’s a rare thing to find a lady with as many positive attributes as Grace has but to reveal all I know of here would probably show her in a different light. Maybe it’s best just to leave it at that…

I came to the festival for love

I came to the festival for love slate. Now loose on the street.

I came to the festival for love slate (front)

I came to the festival for love slate (back)

Here we have the third installment of our Back to the Future mixtape project which sees us combine two of our loves – music and street art.

Our plan is simple. Get some new mixes together, burn them on CD and then put them out on the street with some exclusive slate cover art to see what happened. The piece is the size of a standard roofing slate (about 40 x 28 cm) and has the CD securely taped to the back so she should last a reasonable amount of time out in the open. It has been completed using the magic of paint pens, spraypaint and stencils. They are signed on reverse with our trademark id-iom stencil and logo.

With sunshine the prevailing weather condition for once we can finally get round to the idea that summer – and the always amusing festival season – is on the way. I’ve been to Glastonbury every available year since 1999 and thoroughly enjoyed myself every time – come rain or shine. I’m sure this year will be no exception. The poor lady in this piece however is not having such a great time as she’s gone to a festival and someone has callously broken her heart. My best advice to her would be to head to the bar…

We are also now open to submissions – so if you dj at all and fancy taking part just get in touch and if we like your mix then you’re in! You can find more information on our facebook page here.

Happy hunting!

Cheers

Cross my heart

Cross my heart

Cross my heart (edition of 5)

‘Cross my heart and hope to die’ is an idiom that one would use to emphasise that something is true. This lady on the other hand is a tricky little customer and I have a hard time believing anything that comes out of her mouth. Even if she has crossed her heart. Maybe, just maybe, this time she is on the level…

She’s a compact A4 in size and is from a small edition of 5. Each has been completed using the magic of screen printing, paint pens, spraypaint and stencils. Signed on reverse.

Let’s face the music

Let’s face the music

Let’s face the music

This picture, or some version of it, has been hanging round on my computer for a good long while now. For some reason I can’t really explain I had set myself the mission of trying to convert my sometime earworm ‘Let’s face the music and dance’ into a picture that would reflect the spirit of the song.

After many false starts and incomplete attempts I finally had something I was happy with and so put paint to paper. I think my favourite touch is the bass clef in the ladies eyes which speaks of late nights clubbing and busy dancefloors. So, as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers sang in Irving Berlin’s 1936 film ‘Follow the Fleet’:

“There may be trouble ahead
but while there’s music and moonlight
and love and romance
let’s face the music and dance”

She’s an eminently frameable A3 in size and has been completed using the magic of screen printing, paint pens, spraypaint and stencils. Signed on reverse.

We Come, We Go

We Come, We Go

We all only have one life to live so you might as well live it to its fullest, take every day as your last and all that malarkey and this beauty is doing just that. Her parents always told her to put her clothes back on when she was a child but she just didn’t care she was going to do as she wished and even now as someone more advanced in age she’s still up to her old tricks. Admittedly this doesn’t always go down to well at parties but then again who cares, certainly not her that’s for sure.

Wonderland!

Wonderland!

What kind of a sick individual looks at this picture and thinks ‘Wonderland!” i hear you ask? Well the reason it’s called Wonderland! is because its based on a friend called Alice, although she looks more like a princess than this zombie like wired version.

It is A2 in size and is made using the magic of acrylic paint, spray paint, glitter and there’s even some hand-stitching on there! Signed on reverse.

Two heads are better than one

Two heads are better than one

id-iom is made up with two of us so we can attest to the adage of two heads are better than one but unlike this picture one of us isn’t a girl, well i say that but the other half can certainly act like a little school girl sometimes…
