By Lou Gue Hankins 2009

Framed digital print first appeared in the T & P Fine Art Gallery in South Philadelphia, US as part of the "Cruel Britiannia" group exhibition alongside Sheppard Fairey paste up. 1 of 4 reproduction signed prints in a collectable box. Box includes narrative written on back of original framed print (printed on high quality, semi-opaque paper), and objects relevant to print. Narrative reads: " ... as I was saying, Hirsty and I went out for an evening 'on the tiles' so to speak. Ten vodka, lime and sodas later along with six pints of Budvar, we decided to go back to mine for cake and tunes. On the way we stopped for an aperitif of saveloy, mushy peas and a pickled egg at Eat Out (the local chippy). An excitable party of lads were 'coming down' from a stag party. They decided to strip off and eat their chips naked. Dirty, dirty food ... good,good. Then, "Home James!" Walking home, I stumbled over a drain and got my heel (of my beautiful red Dorothy shoes) caught in the digital ether // * : /. Thirsty tried to help me get my shoe out. I was laughing so hard, the pickled egg I had eaten, nearly made a break for freedom. Needless to say, we got home and forgot to eat the cake". Sherwood, Nottingham, March 2009.
