Ziggy Played Guitar
Hello there.
Spring is in the air. It is, it's positively light - but rainy. A bit shit, a bit depressing, but not like January. That was awful. And this time of year I get to thinking about Dave, and how a new Dave painting is well overdue. All those badges, all those mugs. Clear off. It's 2015.
Ziggy Stardust, standing not in outer space but in Heddon Street, London. Ziggy Stardust, waiting for his Spiders from Mars, in the parked cars. He has purple boots on. Careful Spiders, don't run underfoot. He's jiving us that we are voodoo. Wouldn't he ever.
As ever, the superlative Bowiesongs blog details the album so well. Tales the words out of my mouth. Mate. Just as well.

Raw Art Christmas - Week Four - TELEVISION Marquee Moon
Hey cats.
I've painted Television - the Marquee Moon album. It's a great cover. I usually hate the skinny white boys rock band thing but they all look so incredible. So tense. So beautiful but really bloody miserable with all that NY angst and pollution and blankness and stuff. They look punk. Of course they do.
It's nearly 2015. Aint that strange.

Television, again
Like the Beach Boys, they're a sort of boy band. A pop band. My God, you think again, looking a bit closer, they are made out of magic dust.
If you would like a painting they are done as multiples, as per usual, max 20 but probably 10. They measure 20 x 20 cm, acrylics on canvas board. If you order before December 15 I will try and get your painting to you for Christmas. Even if I have to walk to your house in the snow.

RAW ART CHRISTMAS: WEEK TWO - PET SOUNDS
Hello. Welcome to another in the series of art blog posts about art.
Welcome to Week Two.
Today I can unveil the latest painting on canvas board. It's Pet Sounds, that album, you know. It's by the Beach Boys. It's good.
I thought that it was one of the most complicated album sleeves of all time, so I decided that it would be interesting to paint, to see if it was possible. So I had a go.
You can buy a piece of this Beach Boys magic - a little bit of the life force. (You would not believe the price of art materials, they are going through the roof.) Painted to order as multiples, limited to twenty.
Any questions, do ask. If you want an extra-large version, a handy 60 x 60 cm, then please do contact me as I can do 'em for Christmas.
Thanks, friends.
AVAILABLE AGAIN SOON

The Beach Boys - they're a boy band. They sing harmony and sway. They're pop. They're soul.
Detail
My favourite Beach Boy is Dennis, who seems to be feeding an invisible animal on the sleeve. He's so out there. There is a good blog about the original photoshoot at San Diego Zoo here.

We interrupt this blog to announce #livedraw TONIGHT
First one, Roy Hodgson
Adrian Chiles, from World Cup 2014 #livedraw
The football's on tonight, a "friendly" between England and Scotland. Oh yes. And wooh. But what is it really about? Is it about millionaires in shorts? Is it about goals? Is it about art? Or is it about Mylene Klass and her many Mansions? Who knows. Anyway, there's going to be some #livedraw tonight so get some gin, turn on the telly and watch the Twitter.
Update: for tonight I've gone posh with wine and some reduced price bread that, quite frankly, I wouldn't have bought had it not been reduced. And it's still expensive.
UPDATE - ROY HODGSON
This is Roy Hodgson. He measures 18 x 12 cm, acrylics on canvas board.
SORRY THIS HAS NOW SOLDUPDATE - GORDON STRACHAN
Gordon measures 18 x 12 cm, acrylics on canvas board.
SORRY THIS HAS NOW SOLD
UPDATE - MATCH OVERVIEW
This measures 18 x 12 cm, acrylics on canvas board. This one has been finished after the most wine. Which makes it more precious.
RAW ART CHRISTMAS: WEEK ONE - CARDS
In what people refer to as "the past", back in the midsts of time before time actually had midsts and was called Olde Tymme or something - Raw Art was called the Outsider Christmas Art Shop. For lovers of facts I have just checked the records – and I can confirm that it was two years ago.
How. Time. Flies.
It's now nearly Christmas again - we don't want to think that but we must. It's bloody November and here we all are. Loveable, difficult, offensive – but utterly clueless. And utterly unprepared.
Bearing this in mind, the Raw Art Outsider Christmas Art shop countdown to the festive season is BACK. Back Back Back. And the thinking person's crumpet, Father Christmas, is coming down our collective chimney quite soon.
And what do we want when our chimneys are thus preparing? (?)
Cards. That's what. Raw Art Christmas cards.
Yes. It's true.
These are cheeky little cards, measuring a sensitive 10x15cm. They have the sort of Christmas messages, printed with an exclusive stamp, that only the discerning festive art fan will appreciate. Here are detailed photos:
CARD NUMBER ONE: Pissy Christmas
CARD NUMBER TWO: Crappy Pissy Christmas
CARD NUMBER THREE: Happy Pissmas
CARD NUMBER FOUR: Another Nice Boring
Packaged - cards n envelopes
These cards are strictly limited and are available until we run out - they are offered as a set of four, each with an envelope (pictured below, near Lou). Cost including postage and packing is a mere fiver. A fiver!!!! Buy them before they buy you. Or something.
Please do take some time look around the Raw Art site - artwork may be still available, ideal for top notch Wintertide gifts n that.
