notes : Early collage using on old 78rpm sleeve, and a basic cut-and-paste technique. A version of this appeared in ‘The Time Is Now!’ magazine in 1987.
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!”.

I still look like that now”.
