News update - only ONE painting is left in this series of ten of Luke Haines' Post Everything book jacket. Get in quick, sirs or madam.

Original book jacket

Original painting commissioned for publishers William Heinemann

This is the jacket to the Post Everything book, the second memoir by Luke Haines. Mr Sian Superman was asked to paint the cover of the book and thus it was so. It's a very good book. Why not buy it? Click here if you think it's your cup of tea. You might have read the first book, Bad Vibes, and liked that. You might want to read this one first, as you are the type who has no truck with sequential narratives. Maybe you just like the cover and are indeed 'judging a book by its cover'. And why not? Thanks.

If you remember, and maybe you bloody well don't, that it was two lovely years ago when forty Bad Vibes paintings were sold by me, Sian Superman.... Multiples of my husband's - L. Haines' - book jacket. The paintings, which were 30x40cms and painted in acrylics, went far, they went near. They were posted and they arrived. They were hung on a wall, or hidden in a cupboard, or burnt in a satanic pyre by naked people with bananas on their heads. One cheeky type even tried to sell his "extra" painting on eBay and was - alas - not successful. Well, not when I looked anyway. Not the TWICE he put it on there.

And thus it is - Superman Towers has found an extra! A Bad Bad Vibes, one which was lurking near a pile of empty polystyrene packing, which once housed some jointed rabbit.

It is here, smiling, un-lurking, glistening even. But it wants a new home. It is going to growl at you, oh yes, if you don't buy it. It might even eat a plate of spaghetti and invite some mice round to share some garlic bread.

Art.

Outsider Art.

This one is number twelve and if you're dead fast you can buy it for £110 inc postage ANYWHERE.

That means, acquaintances, that if you live on the actual moon, Superman will try and get it there.

Try, though. Not expecting that to happen etc.

Let's go. Let's Art.

From tonight, ie 27th May 2011, a pop up art gallery is showing Sian Superman's Outsider Art, including Georgia May Jagger (above), Britney and John and Edward.

This is a rare opportunity to see these 'mazin' things in actual real life

and not on the internet, oh no not at all.

It's at 19 Swains Lane, London N6 6QX. Open weekends, mainly.

I don't think the place has a name yet, it's so new and unformed and potentially potential.

But if it does, I will find it out. Probably.

Tonight there is booze and cake at least, and lots of work by other artists too including quite a good raven scultpure.

I kept the Local Pound Shop flyer for a few years.

Many years.

Too many years.

Because I didn't want to throw it away. Then I wondered how it would look as a painting, especially if some young girls bling-ed up from French Vogue were painted quite quickly (and not very well) at the bottom of the painting.

And they looked like they might go to the Pound Shop in Fortess Road.

Or they might go for about a pound if they got in with the wrong crowd.

Direct Value.

Direct.

And why not.
