Folk Art Protest Biscuits - Now in Resin
As you may already know, Raw Art has spent the past two weeks pouring resin over the EU protest biscuits, including the rock n roll biscuit, to see if we could finally mummify the artworks, or whether the whole process would destroy them. In addition, the rock n roll biscuit is about two years old - and shows no signs of disintegration - so maybe this is due to industrial amounts of preservative. Or the fact that it is a magical biscuit which defies nature.
Probably the latter.
Now a few more are ready – cast in resin – to flee the so-called nest and go out into the wider world. But watch out, this is slightly involved. I was not certain there were pictures of all of the biscuits, so as a result there are now too many - but this is just to show as many as possible.
There is a list below. Please, if you buy a biscuit, request which one. This is very important. I can paint and cast another edition for you if one has sold out, if you are happy with that, or do choose another. You can use the contact page as the paypal notes thing I tried to do doesn't seem to work. I am keeping the original Rock N Roll biscuit.
Update - some of the originals have sold so please check list below or you can request a copy of a particular slogan/design

I have also found out, when prompted by the loyal Raw Art customer base, that the biscuits use sustainable palm oil.

28 September 2016. This is the unofficial Week One of the Raw Art Christmas.
Low - Now Square And A Bit Bigger
Hello. Time was, about two months ago, Raw Art had a shop as part of Grrrr! We miss that bloody shop, we do. We miss the people strolling in, having a chat, almost buying a "Failure" pencil and then not. We miss being surrounded by the art. We miss our lovely artists, the light of NW5 as day faded into night, stopping by the Gipsy Queen on the way home for a quick pint.... Raw Art misses having a shop. WE REALLY MISS THE SHOP. Just thought I'd put it out there. WE MISS IT.
Sorry.
Anyway, onto matters more urgent and pressing. And first person. I've been looking at the postcard-sized Low for a few months now, it's sitting in the Raw Art Towers kitchen. And it socked me in the jaw - why the hell is not square? And slightly bigger? I've not done that much David art since January – you may be aware there was a lot more of it before. Felt too trite, too icky, too maudlin. But, listening to the albums over the months I still come back to Low. One of my favourites. Perhaps the favourite? I don't know. Bit bleaky-bleak-bleak at points but it's 2016 – man – so it fits.
I've made a new Low painting for this season, and it's 20 x 20 cm now, and I hope that it makes sense.
If you would like one of these they are painted as multiples and limited to twenty. Only £60 including the P&P. Acrylics on canvas board. Expect some biscuits on a similar theme in the next few weeks. Maybe.
If you would like a Low mug we still have a few left.

Grrrr! Punk Rock Rock!
It's still summer. It is it is it is. The sun is in the sky – people are getting extensions built and their sink fixed and everything is as is as is. Or something.
So! You're imagining you're at the seaside, and that you're not worrying about the sink, or the cat, or what you're going to do with the rest of your life. The ageing process. Family and friends. Love and hatred; pity and redemption. Yeah, you're thinking "I'd like to be on the beach, 'cos that's better, even when it was officially too hot it was better. They hadn't suspended my housing benefit then and the world was full of possibilities."
And what does the beach mean, other than all of those things? Ice cream? NO. Buckets? NO. Rock?
YES.
ABSOLUTELY YES.
Well help is at hand 'cos Raw Art only went and got some official Grrrr! Punk Rock Rock done. Yes. In minty flavours and with some stupendously Grrrr! style words in it.
Pack up your worries in a neoprene travel case and get rockin'. Hm. Phrases to choose from are Up Yours, Hot Lips, Dream Lover and My Best Mate. For some reason there's one "Nympho", a sort of Lars Von Trier reference there more than anything else, and it's yours [or another one is] for only £3.50 inc UK P&P.
Every order also gets a free Grrrr! badge, because that's the way it is.
Grrrr! at the Clerkenwell Festival Sunday 28 August
Grrrr! – Raw Art and Pandora Vaughan – is preparing for the Clerkenwell Festival 28 August 2016.
We're going to have a Seaside Summer Art Special including NEW punk rock rock plus Television watermelon slices for sale [other New Wave band names will be available].
There'll also be mugs, Summer pencils, Headache Jewellery, Hot Motel prints, badges and bags. It's a bit like the Grrrr! shop. But as a stall. In East London. On A Sunday. In The Summer. With a Seaside theme. And a dog show.
So far, Raw Art has painted some business cards on blocks of wood...
....which I'm not sure what to do with. See it Sunday! Drop by and say HELLO.
the two Grrrr! proprietors share another joke

Protest Biscuit Print
As you may be aware, the day after the EU referendum, Raw Art sat in the Grrrr! shop and felt despondent. There's a piece about it here.
Print image
The biscuits are a protest, placards of sorts. (They are sitting in my fridge at the moment, coldly continuing their protest.)
There's the "Fuck Gove May Farage Johnson"; "Broken Biscuit Broken Britain"; "NHS"; "I Don't Understand This At All"; "EU" plus more. If you would like a ltd print hurry – they're going fast. Will be sent rolled in a postal tube – P&P included.
The print is A3 on Hahnenuhle German Etching paper. Price only £30 including postage. 2016. What a bloody year.
