Paintings, Drawings, Prison Diaries


Paintings, drawings and excerpt from the Wayland prison diary....







Reminiscent of "The Death of Marat" This drawing is the frontiespiece from the Wandsworth prison diary








This A4 painting of the professor has an eerie likeness, the painting went missing from Mass in Brixton after I laid it down on a table back-stage, if anybody knows its whereabouts there is a reward offered for information. It had previously been stolen and offered for sale on ebay but fortunately was returned before charges laid ...








"My Workman's Hands" was painted at Sturmey in 2008, it now lives with a collector in Belgium.





"Chicken Pype" also painted at Peter's Wiltshire home in 2008 is a delicate drawing of a glass chicken shaped vessel that Peter adapted into a pipe and then art. It is in the hands of an avid collector in Berlin.





"Maybe it's a Big Horse I'm a Londoner" Sturmey - whereabouts unknown although the Bankrobber Gallery were interested ....









A classic early work sprayed onto the wall of my Whitechapel flat - it has undoubtedly been painted over -  there are more variations of this on walls around the world than there are "Sunflowers" by Van Gogh.









Painted onto the back of a print this is "Charlotte G" now domiciled with the Berlin collection.








"Bloodclot Bilo" is one of the very first paintings that Peter made and was included in the Bankrobber exhibition.







This is a page from the "Wayland Prison Diary" - The prison lighter is used repeatedly throughout the Wayland diary as a motif on page after page.

The complete set of prison diaries will shortly be published as limited editions by small presses as well as being available in facsimile and text on Kindle.
