comment : “I did this years ago in response to the ‘Fuck Art Let’s Dance’ t-shirts that were about; they just looked wrong! At one point, Jon Savage asked me could he quote it as a line – hope I got a credit! I re-worked the image a couple of years ago, and in 2004 I produced some 6” x 4” screenprints of it. If it looks familiar, I got it from the same source as the Clash!”.

comment : “It's funny to be able to look at something I did a quarter of a century ago, which, by some fluke has managed to survive; includes charcoal drawing, oil pastel, pieces of charcoal, hair, life drawings, oil paintings, a torn shred of a Top Rank wage slip (don't ask!), and lumps of oil paint. I still look like that now”.
