Original Art Sketchbook inc. 70+ Unique Collages Abstract Comic Art Journal
An original and unique A5 sketchbook comprising 70+ collages made from vintage comic books and magazines. Embark on a mind-bending journey into the bizarre and surreal world of washbelly - the analogue and digital collage artist, designer, writer, and opinionated contrarian - through his unique wall art, sturdy print sets, and the pages of his eponymous, self-published, limited edition magazine. In Jamaican patois, a washbelly is the last child out of a woman. Made from the leftovers, the scraps, the residue, the least material, literally the wash of the belly. This artist submits to that description. To use the term as a name for his artistic endeavours is an appropriation, and a cultural one at that. Perhaps not the most politically correct thing to do in the 21st century, but as the hangman said on the scaffold to the murderer John Christie who was complaining of an itchy nose - don't worry, it won't bother you for long!
