This one is a specific reference to the Stop Oxevision campaign - because the fights of the present are the fights of the future - find out more and sign their open letter: www.nsun.org.uk/news/open-le...
In the centre of the poster is the black silhouette of CCTV camera embedded into the ceiling, with a black eye in the centre. A red triangle stretches out from the eye into the bottom left corner. White text cut out of the ceiling above the camera reads: Surveillance and beneath this large block text in black reads ‘Is Not Safety’.

These posters were created for the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival 2023 on the theme of 'Revolution'. You can find downloadable and printable versions on their website: www.mhfestival.com/explore/revo...
In the centre of the poster is a hand written large block text in black which reads ‘No One Way Works’. This quote is continued turning around the outside edges of the page, reading ‘It will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down - Diane di Prima.’ Around the central text is a border of 16 illustrations, which have a thin black outline, and are shaded in three shades of bright red. The illustrations are of: a razer blade; a bunch of Rosemary; a vial (like you would use for Oestrogen); a knotted rope; a pair of scissors; a crowbar; a wheatpaste brush; a balaclava; three round pills with smiley faces on; a spray paint can; a needle; a packet of prescription medications; bolt cutters;a lighter; a dildo; and a brick.

made a new comix zine for out of sight out of mind this year. It assembles/archives(?) some of my notes & drawings from the last 2 1/2 years of therapy, and considers them alongside the big box file of notes from my time in mh and probation services: www.gearsforqueers.co.uk/shop/p/thera...
A spread from 'therapy notes', a comix zine printed in black and red riso. The first page interweaves the lyrics from the mountain goats song up the wolves with a person bringing down a box file from a high shelf. The second page sees the person returning the box file to the shelf, and some images of a scanner, fire, a blender, and the box file casting a shadow over them that they are trying to ignore. The open zine sits on top of some pages from the zine, not entirely visible, that are also printed in black and red riso.
