Well, this doesn’t happen very often. I completely forgot to write my blog posts this morning, and am now in a bit of a panic. I think it must be the disruption to my normal routine, and that feeling that I have an awful lot to do before Christmas. Perhaps the character piece by Zake adequately describes my state of mind today.

This piece was part of a PWA paint jam, but alas, by the time I got there this was the only bit of it left. The laughing face full of depth and texture, has a fractured skull through which his brain appears to have turned to jelly. I suspect that there is some Face 1st influencing going on with this fun piece.

3298. St Werburghs tunnel (203)

This piece has been in the tunnel for rather a long time and similarly was in my October folder for an equally long time, speaking to me saying ‘post me, post me’ every time I saw it. I have at last yielded, and I am writing about this piece by Zace, a Bristol artist whose work I can’t recall having seen before.

An alien face with brains hanging out of the top of a severed skull – now there’s something you don’t see every day (unless you go through St Werburghs tunnel a lot). This is a memorable piece in bright colours that attract the eye, and the artist has woven the letters ZACE into the brain squiggles. Weird and wonderful, and I am sure not the last we’ll see of Zace.
