Title: 'The Precipice'. 2005

Acrylic on canvas.

An image of a flying skateboarder made of self-penned lyrical text - rendered in retro-futuristic 'Fat Albert' font.
The crucifixion stance of the figure juxtoposes with the symbolic optimism of the yellow background.

Text:

Outside pedestrians gather at the monuments
Look out here it is, the invasion of the pinheads
Check out the clown pants billowing like leg tents
Single out the Bensons and sell ‘em for ten pence

Teenage craze on a Saturday
Face to face with the king of the space age
Face to face with the blood in the rat race
Face to face without fear of the precipice

Morning to the bong in the land of agoraphobics
Exercise the Airwick before you hear the ding dong
Your mammas back we’re gonna get the crack
But we’ll give her all the backchat ‘cos we know where its at

Teenage craze

Randy dandies head back to the dance
Sluggin’ on a Hooch and hangin’ out with the slags
Plink plink fizz its not an aphrodisiac
It makes you sick and you don’t get your money back

Teenage craze

Stand back here he comes the one we call eccentric
The mathematic asthmatic no-belly whiz kid
He burned down the lab and smoked a spliff on occasion
Its a pain to explain the power of persuasion

Teenage craze on a Saturday
Face to face with the king of the space age
Face to face with the blood in the rat race
Face to face without fear of the precipice
