Henry Darger

I'm officially finished Uni forever and I cant stop listening to posi hip hop. Also, here's a screenprint I did of Henry Darger as a part of my current body of work on recluses. Henry became famous for his posthumously-discovered 15,145-page, single-spaced fantasy manuscript called  In the Realms of the Unreal which includes The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion, and extends over 15 immense, densely-typed volumes. The text is accompanied by three bound volumes of several hundred illustrations, scroll-like watercolor paintings on paper, the work of six decades, derived from magazines and coloring books. In addition, Darger wrote an eight volume, 5,084-page autobiography, The History of my Life; a 10-year daily weather journal; assorted diaries; and a second work of fiction, provisionally titled Crazy House, of over 10,000 handwritten pages. He also went through a lengthy phase of feeling compelled to make strange noises which irritated others.

'I Eat Cat Chow' Screen Prints

Here are some images of the final screenprints I created using the raccoon drawing I posted a little while ago. Ive been really lazy and boring with my blog lately but Ill make a conscious effort to be a bit more interesting and add some new things for all of my loyal readers... In my defence, I have a variety of excuses including; my computer has some dumb virus so whenever I use it I say grrr all the time and go watch a movie instead, no one reads this anyways and also I keep falling asleep.

Every boy, Always, Always

Here are some of the images I promised from my little exhibition at Shopfront Gallery. Ive made them into screenprints and printed them on lots of different things! These are the first ones I did on fancy gold paper! How fancy! More to come veeeeery soon!

Bedtime Batman

I drew this Batman so i could make it into a screenprint on some pillowcases as a super present. I also thought that Batman would probably see quite a few stars when he's getting about during the night hours.. And that is why I put this into Illustration Friday for this week. I'll put a photograph up of the printed pillow aswell as another pillow with The Phantom on it when I get a chance slash camera.
