Finally Got the Plasticine Model to do Karate
The Plasticine Luke Haines does karate to celebrate playing at the QEH, Southbank, July 13 2011.
And why not.
Beverly Callard Multi-Tych
Today, let's hark to the early renaissance and the two dimensional portraits artists made of Christian deities. From Giotto and his beatific St Stephen, thence to hop nimbly over to digital portraits taken from ITV's This Morning.
Beverly Callard talks to Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby about her brain tumour.
Bev goes into quite horrific detail about her brain on the programme, but here rendered in photographic stills she seems close to God.
A bit.
Estate Agent Art
Art that used to hang in an estate agents...
Art that also used to hang in an estate agents....
Sometimes, that's just what art's about.
Latest Artwork - Ikea Bistro
It's a put-anywhere, do-anything, constant Outsider Art reminder of the furniture store's special food bit when you get to the exit and the car park.
Feel free, feel breezy, feel Bistro.
Rendered in the exact colours of the Ikea Food bit, it is joy and laughter, chips 'n' hot dogs, melamine and glue.
Look out for other versions in different colours, to follow.
Here it is without the daffodils:
If you would like one let me know. They measure 24x30cms. They are painted in acrylics. They are probably quite cheap.
Luke Haines Portrait - Around the World
This is one of the Outsider Art Luke Haines portraits of - yes - 2009.
It reached all the way to Portland, Oregon and this is it, on the mantelpiece.
At Insider Outsider Art, we feel that no portrait is complete without a nearby wild boar's head, so if you did buy a Haines "Bad Vibes', you will need to get down to the local taxidermist pronto. And red wine, you need that too.

Outsider Music 51 - An Appraisal with Pictures
And so... Mr Haines plays the guitar and sings to create Outsider Music Vol 51, live at the London Hoxton Pony venue, 19 January 2011. Sian Superman paints along, acrylics drippin' and canvas splinterin' in the blistering heat. 40 minutes later an historic gig is born. All those (mainly) unheard songs etc.
And an historic portrait of the bard himself is born. By the wife. All those unseen colours and thematic groupings.
Apparently, I got in the way of a woman in the audience who could not see the Haines 'cos of the picture, and thus decided to get a pre-prepared bagel out of her bag and eat it in defiance. Many apologies, woman who decided to eat a bagel.
Outsider Bagel no 1.
A nice man called Simon, I think [that he was called Simon, and that he was nice], won the picture in the raffle at the end [below]. He is on the right.
I spoke to him afterwards, ill-advisedly, telling him the paint might still be wet and I think he thought I was being nosey.
[Many thanks to GD Preston for the photographs.]
