F*@k this for a game of soldiers
Another piece in the id-iom demolition sale and it’s starting at just 99p. Here’s the Ebay link
War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Say it again! – so sang Edwin Starr in 1970 on the anti-Vietnam song ‘War’ (which, i was interested to learn was originally recorded by The Temptations but not released as they didn’t want to alienate their more conservative fans). Whilst i have a lot of respect for our armed forces and the work they do it is generally political forces which dictate what they do and when – and this can sometimes lead to questionable decisions being made regarding their deployment. That’s all i really want to say on the issue as i think this piece largely speaks for itself…
A single level screen print with hand finishing. It’s A3 in size and signed on the reverse
Cheers

So it’s a few days closer to Christmas and we’re here still here to help out with the Christmas shopping. We’ve got a few more pieces for our Yuletide Fundom Demolition sale starting at the austerity measures price of just 99p.

Hug Me Before I Cry
First up we have ‘Hug me before I cry’ which depicts a sad and desperate looking teddy bear who is just looking for a big hug. This sad lad is A2 and has been made using the magic of acrylic paint, ink, spraypaint and watercolours. Signed on reverse. Surely someone wants to give him a home? Here’s the Ebay link.
