Autism Plays Itself.

 Not long after seeing the first cut of AUTISM PLAYS ITSELF I started on a series of illustrations for myself basically to help me process the whole project (I'm a visuals kinda guy what can I say?).

Recently I've had a chance to revisit/rejig/re-imagine them for the 17th edition of Archivio Aperto (this years theme is The Art of Memory) taking place from October 24 to 27, 2024 in Bologna, Italy.

Edward Davis Wood Jr.

Happy 100th Birthday to the one and only Edward D Wood Jr.
 
 Little known fact - the minister that married us was from Ed and Kathy's church in Vegas.
 




The Dying Moon.



Faux 70s movie poster art for Robin Elliott-Knowles sequence in The Stimming Pool - a hybrid film that presents the possibilities of a world informed by autistic perspectives and perception. 
 
It's only fleetingly onscreen but gave the director a few variations ranging from video box style to print ad to see which worked best.
 
Finalized poster art.

Born on this day in 1924, my favourite author, Cassidy's namesake (and my height twin) - Truman Capote.
 
 Let's celebrate today with a 'special orange drink' and a good old bitching sesh!

Arting About.

 Been busy with (non-art) stuff of late so been relaxing by playing around with some old pieces (and scans of old comic covers) just for fun.
