Claustros

Claustros is an allegorical visual poem in nine chapters. All nine chapters will eventually be published here.

Claustros started life in the 1970s as a single painting (oil on stretched newspaper, aprrox 600 x 600 mm), which I sold for about £10. The original painting is recreated as Claustros V.
A second painting was commissioned and produced (which is recreated as VI) - similar size, similar price and the idea for a trilogy was born; however I don't think that the third painting was ever created.
As the idea for the trilogy emerged, so did the concept of a poem (which was written, though sadly lost to time) which evolved firstly into a tetrology, then up to six or seven chapters (I think).

This modern rework attempts to recreate the vision of those earlier thoughts, but alas may be subject to the vagaries of time and fading memory.

2. Never trust a fart.
3. If you get an erection, use it; even if you're on your own.

Don't understand why they never appear on the blog as they do in preview. The intention is that they sit side by side with the text underneath.

Logo

I've been using this logo for years on all sorts of things. Probably started off with SIGMA (Simulation Games of Manchester) which never bore any commercial fruit. Now I just put it on my CDs/DVDs and Covers.
