Basket Empty
So I’ve been rooting through the archives again! Back in 2003, between blasting soundtracker mods and punk records, I spent hours hacking away at lino blocks, tearing through ink-stained rags, printing these rough, jagged images.
Neo-expressionism was a big influence on me then (still is!), I love the kind of art that feels immediate, unpolished, and urgent. Bold lines, frantic energy, restless hands. The process was messy and unpredictable, but that was exactly what I needed at 17 year old punk. A way to channel something raw, something that didn’t have to be clean or precise, just honest.
Maybe not for everyone mind!
