This final selection from sketchbook 5 (Silence =Death) is a selection of images to do with planning a set of photographs to do with ideas around skinhead imagery. I understood skinhead as to do with the Specials and the Beat and the anti-racist music of two tone I was listening to. Very many of the marchers against the BNP in London had been left wing skinheads. Stoke though has its fair share of nazi skins, (boneheads as they were known). The planning was to do with queering the machismo of the image as a symbol for groups rather than couples which was suggestive of an undercurrent of male sexuality underneath the boots and braces and led to a reasonably successful photo shoot. The planning drawings were clumsy but served their purpose. Obviously the context of the bulk of my work couched these in not just subverting the skinhead symbol as queer but also subverting as many religious images as I could think of. I was pissed off with the political and religious right and wanted to cannibalise the meat of their flesh to feed my images. #sketchbook #archive #queerartist #queerart #queerskin #drawing #jarman #artdegree #artstudent #liverpoolartist (at Stoke-on-Trent) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWI5M3esNyr/?utm_medium=tumblr

I had imagined a perfect future boyfriend who I named Benjamin and the excellent Mr Herbertson drew him in my sketchbook- not quite as I had envisioned him #sketchbook #archive #queerartist #queerart #queerskin #drawing #jarman #artdegree #artstudent #liverpoolartist (at Staffordshire University) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5tP6MCgWOb/?igshid=1wx4tm1r0voc2
