No Parole

(HB pencil on 140mm x 88mm postcard)
- NOT AVAILABLE -

"He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was something telling him his appeal had not gone at all well."
 
An artwork which shows complete resignation to an inevitable fate and, no matter what you do, there's just no avoiding it.

The Joker : Punch & Judy

(black biro on a 140mm x 88mm postcard)
 
The disturbing obsession that the Joker has for Batman always seems to end with him being hurt, one way or another. But, being so criminally insane as he is, he'll always try again and again, because that's the way he does it.

Nude By Numbers

(fineliner on a 139mm x 87mm postcard)
- NOT AVAILABLE -

It's not easy trying to find a nude paint-by-numbers set, especially one happily stroking her pussy! They tend to be the "chocolate-box" style image, which are never fun to paint, but at least they got more people painting and introduced many to art.
 
It's used here to make the viewer think more about colour, even though there's none present, not even a swatch to match the numbers with. It tries to beg the question: "What colour is her skin?" And when that happens, it gives the subject something of an enigmatic quality.
 
But many who see it will have already made their own assumptions as to her colour, for whatever reason that might be. They may even assume it so much that they'll go so far as to disregard it completely and ask: "What colour is the cat?"
