Here's my humble contribution to the Occupy Wall Street Movement that's taken the world by storm with almost no valuable coverage from the mainstream media. That's people power for ya… It's a free poster, for marches, sit-ins, or even to stick up on your wall. It's a PDF image (300 DPI resolution) and will print up to A3 (420mm x 297mm) poster size on your printer.

Download the PDF Here.

If you do use the poster in a protest I'd love to see some photos of it "in action"

Viva La Revolución.

Issue Three of the online arts magazine StepAway Magazine has been pre-launched and is now live at http://www.stepawaymagazine.com. They've also featured a work by me for their front cover – Reigning Men.

Yep, I couldn't resist chipping in on this one, even if I am nowt to do with it. There are a lot of rumours flying about concerning the UK riots. I've been flipping between the news and Twitter and from what I can gather….

The government line: It's not a protest, it's just naughty children, and we will lock them all up.

The people: It's not a protest, it's just naughty children, can someone please lock them all up.

The disinterested observer: What about the Olympics?

The (mad) man on the street who wasn't even offered a microphone "There are two sides to the argument. Next targets will be ********** & *** ****** ** ********** (at this point I have taken legal advice from my imaginary lawyer and decided not to specify possible target areas of further insurrection in case I am in some way incidentally accused of masterminding a generation of disaffected youths to bring down the powers that be.) The man on the street concludes with a call for anarchy in the UK before, who I assume to be his slightly embarrassed son, pulls him away from camera.

Old Lady waving her bag in the air whilst kicking imaginary disaffected youths: Bring back elocution…. err… I mean electrocution.

Young rioter: Give me your wallet or I'll jab ya.

Parents: It's the parents' fault.

Darcus Howe: CENSORED BY THE BBC.

The banking community: (Who the **** cares what they think).

The community youth worker and p/t philosopher: It's all about a lack of opportunity, a lack of work, youth centres, ready cash, phones, consoles, Nikes and bling.

The ex-Police Commissioner: Plastic bullets are too good for them. Plus due to the cuts we can only afford foam ones.

BBC Reporter: I bloody live in Clapham.

Sky Reporter: More explosions, fires and broken shop windows after the break.

Amazon: reporting 6,000% increase in sales of Aluminium Baseball Bats over the past 24 hours.

You make up your own mind…

Here's a new print to keep the few and faithful occupied while I battle with my first painting. It's called 'Coalition' and it's available in print at ArtFlakes. It's my first print with these guys so give them a visit if you can, they're based in Germany and sell right across the globe. 'Coalition' features a hunting dog holding a dead duck in its mouth, each in the colours of the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties. So much for Britain's future. Prints available from £10 and up.

I was approached by Nimet Kalkan at RedBubble.com who's looking for t-shirt design contributions to help raise money for the Lighthouse Project in Australia. The “Lighthouse Project” refers to the “Beacon Of Hope” – a multi-purpose mega-structure (in the shape of a lighthouse) built in capital cities of Australia, designed as a one-stop-shop to help abandoned teens…

All profits from the sale of these t-shirts will be going to a great cause. So I took  a little time off from painting and came up with this…

Here are some more artists' contributions, if you fancy purchasing one they cost around £19/$30 each in plenty of currencies and are available in a wide range of colours and sizes. If you're an artist why not send them your own design?
