NSFW - not safe for work
How much can be revealed before comfort gives way to curiosity?
From playfully concealed to fully exposed, here you’ll find a body of figures on paper. The ‘NSFW’ label is subjective, but if you’d prefer to avoid nudity (and tongue-in-cheek descriptions), please continue to the next collection.
Red, Ink and watercolour on paper, 42 × 29.7 cm
Introducing Junior, known to his friends as Red. A laid-back sporting type, his favourite game is catch. Nothing is a struggle for Red - he’s never faced a problem that can’t be swept under the carpet.
Spike, Ink, watercolour and acrylic on paper, 42 × 29.7 cm
Introducing Spike. Despite his youth, he’s a well-seasoned young bull who enjoys plum sauce and wordplay. Here’s one of his haiku:
You gave me a ring
so I handle your bullshit
please don’t steer me wrong
Bill, Ink, watercolour and acrylic on paper, 42 × 29.7 cm
What do we know about Bill? He’s an avid birdwatcher who likes masquerade parties and long baths. Bill’s often described as a sticky beak, as he’s inclined to poke his nose in other people’s business.
Doug, Ink, watercolour and acrylic on paper, 42 × 29.7 cm
What do we know about Doug? He’s into acid house, amongst other things. Doug is a fictional character (so are his friends).
Ed, Ink, watercolour and acrylic on paper, 42 × 29.7 cm
Meet Ed, an accomplished kickboxer. In spite of a knockout personality, he’s painfully shy and hides behind a mask. Meaningful relationships don’t come easy for Ed, especially as people tend to see him as an object rather than a person.
James, Ink, watercolour and acrylic on paper, 42 × 29.7 cm
Meet James, a full-throttle speed demon. Some see him as a walking cliché, but he’s more likely to reach for a lollipop than a Marlboro. A colourful rebel who bristles at comparison, he’s got a sweet tooth and a killer smile.
