    NICOLAS PARTY


    Our dear, old friend Nicolas Party (incidentally, brother of Ian Party) is represented by The Modern Institute, in Glasgow. It is always so nice to see someone you grew up with and shared so many ideas with make it “this high” in the artistic food-chain. We are very proud of him. And obviously, big fans of his art!

    “She tied off the left sleeve of her coat, moved out of the apartment and into the hallway, missing the forearm already but resolved to leaving it… A single forearm was well-worth the escape.”

    Again, it is such a shame that so many good books have to bear such ugly covers on their surface.

    I suspect that Rae Bryant’s The Indefinite State of Imaginary Morals might really be worth reading from the beginning to the end, but I’m not completely sure about it.

    I mean, abrasive is a surface. Only apply abrasives to another surface, superface. Ugly becomes superugly.

    Wanna give it a try anyway? It’s here.

    It has already been established, I have a soft spot for (good) tribal tattoo. I recently stumbled across Roxx’s work. Pretty stunning.
