3 x Truth
date : 2005size : 43½” x 32½”
medium : collage.
notes : Trilingual collage produced during Jones' visit to Bulgaria in Summer '05. Bulgarian and Welsh, with English sandwiched between.
comment : “Very simple, and immediate on first view; I've thought about those words for a long time, so this is one of my more contemplative pieces. The composition was dictated by where I was, and the fact that the Bulgarian and Welsh flags, have exactly the same colours”.

Burn Baby, Burn
date : 2011
size : 8½” x 11½”
medium : collage
notes : Echoing the line from Vietnam in its title, juxtaposed with an apeing of 1970s petrol station ‘special offers’ in the text, this powerful image may initially appear as humourous, or even too cutting, yet has serious intent behind its creation. The artist felt the need to express his shock and sadness at the extreme measures being taken by Buddhist holy people.
comment : “Hopefully the title will help to put this piece into its intended context. There is something seriously wrong when monks and nuns feel that the only choice that they have is to make the ultimate sacrifice, and self-immolate. A shocking image? It needs to be. I find the reality far more shocking. Perhaps the story would gain more coverage were it to be ‘marketed’ like a special offer at a garage. There is nothing frivolous or disrespectful about this piece.”

Cultural Blackspot
date : 2006size : 8½” x 11½”
medium : collage
notes : Designed by Brian in 2006, this image was stolen from this site and has subsequently appeared on various websites in photographic form, and it appears to have been printed as posters which have been fly-posted in various cities. The artist has never made any money from this design, which was done as an homage to the old 'Accident Blackspot' road signs, and resents the fact that his imagery has been taken without permission.

God Bless the Squatters
date : 2011size : 8½” x 11½”
medium : collage
notes : With the proposed criminalisation of squatting on the agenda, the artist, who previously spent ten years squatting, addresses this erosion of the rights of the citizen in this collage, which depicts a family's ‘1st. night in a squat’.
comment : “Cottars and Borderers are the old British names for squatters. With so many empty buildings and a shortage of housing, this ancient right will become a criminal offence. What is the alternative? The re-introduction of Workhouses? Homes for all.”

date : 2011
size : 8½” x 11½”
medium : collage

medium : collage
notes : Original collage design produced for Sofia-based punksters KPD-0.

Norma Queen
date : 2002size : 35” x 16½”
medium : giclée.
notes : This gicléed multiple, from the original single collage, was produced for the ‘Vive La Republique’ anti-golden jubilee show at the Centre of Attention, London. The image was selected by the London Evening Standard ‘Hot Tickets’ to promote the exhibition.
comment : “I was working with Jamie Reid at this point; I wanted to do a piece for this show, but what could I do to the queen that Jamie hadn’t already done? I steered away totally from his work, planted my tongue firmly in my cheek; I found a picture of QE2 without a crown or headscarf (not as easy as it may sound). She had that kind of 50’s semi-Marilyn suburban housewife hairdo, so I produced ‘Norma Queen’”.

Norma Queen X
date : 2012medium : digital collage
notes : A collaborative piece produced by Brian and Shaun Featherstone for the front cover of ‘The Great Frock 'n' Robe Swindle’ anti-jubilee newspaper art project.
comment : “I was asked could the Xs be added and said “yes”, so it's a collaboration with someone that I've never met!”

Oil Addict
date : 2006size : 8½” x 11½”
medium : collage.
notes : Produced in response to the “addicted to oil” comment, Jones subverts the 80's anti-heroin ads; the text reads as follows:
When life doesn't seem that great, oil might seem a great way to have a few laughs.
But it won't be long before the fun turns into a bad joke. You'll start looking ill, losing weight and feeling like death.
You'll lose control of your mind as well as your health. And eventually you might even risk death.
So if a friend offers you oil, don't treat it as a joke.
Otherwise oil might have the last laugh.
comment : “Being an artist is better than being a mass-murderer, or a bollitician”.

date : 2006size : 24” x 17½”
medium : collage.
notes : Second in Jones' series of cities, ‘Satori Of Sofia’ (S.O.S.) voices the artist's concerns and observations of the Bulgarian capital.
comment : “It's like the worst of Fagin and his gang meets East European mafia. Corrupt from the top down. Check my ‘Bulgarian Misadventures’ which will be appearing in the ‘Words: Wordsmith’ section of this site in the near future”.

Satori of Sofia
Suffragette City
date : 2006size : 11½” x 8½”
medium : collage.
notes : Another concern of the artist is the whole question of individual freedom. One of a series of anti-iD card pieces, this work, taking its cue from the David Bowie track, shows both his senses of history and humour.
comment : “iD cards will literally be ‘taking liberties’…”.
