Thank you for watching. As the Pinhead Cenobite said to Kirsty in Hellraiser II, "Come with us... ...we have such sights to show you!"

Thank you, it's good to see you here.

That's a real compliment. Francis Bacon did have a rather morbid artistic sensibility. He painted on untreated or unsized canvases and was bold enough to use semi-accidental gestures and methods in some paintings. If such a 'mistake' should ruin the canvas it was impossible to recover it by over painting. He also derived inspiration from photographic and cinematic sources as well as the work of classical fine artists, particularly Velasquez. What may not be so widely known is that he was fascinated by pathology and the effect of disease processes on the appearance of human flesh. Munch also seemed to be morbidly fascinated by illness and depression [cf The Sick Child [link] ]. My interest is in urban decrepitude, vandalism, graffiti, old and weathered surfaces, painted and unpainted, and science fiction, macabre fiction and aspects of popular culture that may have ceased to be popular, including urban blues music, psychedelic music, 'prog' rock, 're-synthesiser' electronic and classical music. Just for fun, here is the result for a search on 'Music' in our gallery: [link] which bears out some of the foregoing.
