The Return of The Minoan Reptile (Cartoonish Studies)
A selection of drawings from a sketch book complied after spending six months traveling around Europe. Most of this time was spent on various Greek Islands, Turkey and Bulgaria. Minoan artefacts, in particular the clay models of human figures were greatly admired and struck the artist as looking akin to ancient versions of 'The Simpsons'. The drawings in this book return to a more figurative mode yet retain many of the peculiar discoveries from the past 5 years. A certain 'old world' European aesthetic is noticeable in a number of the studies and these references were amplified in the work developed over the next few years. Weirdly anthropomorphic characters began to wear waistcoats and tilted hats on their heads. As if Toad of Toadhall had decided to party hard. Twisting the night away in his Dad outfit as Rome went up in flames. Ratty carried on messing about in boats.
