Two for one...

So here are the belated photos from last week captured in thursday glorious morning sun. 'Superfreakin' indeed. It was originally going to feature the caption 'Dear God, Don't Look at Us!' but in the end it went up textless. I was also going to transform it today into a quick homage to Baldessari but alas i was lacking in the necessary paint. Think this may come up again though.

And on to todays print 'Lets Speak English'...

This was a true and unadulterated nightmare to paste up. It was firstly windy up there, secondly i just couldn't get the text to line up and thirdly some local youths decided to taunt me, try and steal my ladder and then throw fruit at me. I kid you not! BUT i soldiered on and got it up but that is the reason why this ones a tad on the wrinkly side. Still that should mostly 'fall out' as it drys (i apply a similar principle to all creased clothes i wear). The fruit wielding children however will continue to roam the streets until such a day when they are plucked from this earth and arrive promptly in hell...

The text itself is from a Linguaphone book on speaking English i found in a charity shop in Pimlico. I am drawn to how all the text in it ends up sounding like the rantings of a Daily Mail reader whose mind has finally vacated leaving paranoid babblings and very little else.
