Mums.
I have a Mum.
I proved it back on Day 69 when I took a photo of her, sat beside me, enjoying a delicious piece of cake for Mother’s Day.
I bring this up some 19 Days after her last appearance on my blog because today’s THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt is one originally purchased by her.
For no reason other than that she saw it and thought of me, or rather, she saw it and thought of some illustration work I had completed at about the same time, my Mum bought this tee and gave it to me upon her return from work.
It’s an ASDA George original and features an abstract design of several cubes outlined in an identical perspective, scaled separately and then layered upon one another. Some of the angular gaps between the framework have been coloured blue and yellow, and then as a final touch, my favourite ingredient has been added to the graphic – a heavy dose of “f this s up”; a layer of scratching, scraping and general “this will not stand” deregistration has been used to appropriate my position in the community. Yeah, that's right, take that everyone else's comfort zone. All is not as it should be and this T-shirt has got the yarn to show it!
The illustration work that my Mum had likened to this T-shirt is my Perfect Day collection; a series of seven canvases showcasing uniquely illustrated and brightly coloured compositions of London-based architecture and rhetoric, created for an exhibition held in Farringdon, and later re-exhibited in a gallery in Dorset. I still have these works (one of a kinds) safely stored and wrapped, and they are still very much for sale if anybody is interested.
Take a look at them here.
Thanks Mum!
