recent acquisitions...

Hi! Thought I'd show you a picture of the first piece of original art work that I have bought. The artist is Mike Radcliffe. The piece depicts St. Matthew, patron Saint of Bankers, as a "chav" inspecting a lottery ticket. Its really a montage is suppose. The background is a piece of stainless steel, the gold is real goldleaf, and St. Matthew, well I don't he's made of. I love it. What do you think?
And this is a picture by Mike, which do not own (!), called Man of Sorrows. I love it. A lot.
I also just got Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, chiefly on the recommendation of my good friend David (Check out his blog, Oh Thee Rusted Satellite, using the link from mine). I might review it in time but I really haven't listening to it enough yet; still, I love the cover so much I thought I'd put it up too.
Talk soon.
