This is my own personal homage to the beautiful and utilitarian design that is the humble Rizla packet. I must have bought thousands of these over the years. I have changed their size and added gold leaf to reflect their importance to me. Rizla have sadly now changed the design of the packets.

I made this ray gun for Artists For Climate Action. They are a group in Ontario Canada run by a very old dear friend of mine. I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m really pleased with how it came out. All based on the idea of what would the Warner Brothers cartoon world look like with climate change. This piece sold to a collector on the launch night and all the money went to Extinction Rebellion.

I spent my teenage years fiddling around with 808s and 303s so when this album came out it was a revelation. Sweeping filters never sounded so good. Thanks Norman for a storming album.

I remember sitting on the floor with my back pressed up against the radiator aged 14 reading this. I was astonished that I could understand the language without translation. The gang violence was echoed by the violence that had begun to erupt in my own life at this time.

1992 when this came out was a difficult year for me. I first heard this when I was sitting near a fire in the middle of a golf course during the last hours of an illegal rave. I lit an endless stream of cigarettes and squinted into the smoke from the fire. The music swirled through my head and into my heart.

"I first felt a fist, and then a kick. I could now smell their breath.
They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs. And too many right wing meetings"
