I can't believe it has taken me so long to write up the second part of my first delivering paintings by adventure story. Especially as both adventures, this one and the one I did next, are two of my favourite things I've ever done. The first was nearly two years ago now luckily I can still remember it. If you need a refresher though<a href="https://the-eddie-argos-resource.blogspot.com/2018/06/delivering-paintings-by-adventurepart.html" target="_blank"> HERE </a>is part one.<br />

<br />
<br />
Anyway, where was I..<br />
<br />
So.. I'd flown across the Atlantic to make a painting for two complete strangers, and to officiate their wedding renewal ceremony. I was full of excitement and a little nervous. I was going to a very remote house in the middle of nowhere. I'd already been on a train that slowly rolled past places with seemingly made up names like Hicksville and got into a car with a stranger and now I was very far away from anybody I knew, in an area with no phone signal. I was surprisingly unafraid though, my enthusiasm for adventure far outweighed my fear of being sacrificed on a fire to the gods of Long Island (Twisted Sister) or of being beaten up by a bunch of disgruntled Bloc Party fans who had pooled their money to get me on my own for an attack.<br />
<br />
In fact I was not afraid at all, Erik's Mum, the stranger who had driven me the last part of the journey, seemed incredibly nice, Dayna who had also been in the car was also brilliant company, and when we arrived the booze I was helping carry into the house was of the very highest quality. I mean this could be a very convincing façade, but I was almost a hundred percent certain these strangers were not going to beat me up or kill me.<br />
<br />
That was until two things happened simultaneously. The first thing was my phone suddenly started to work and texts from Ian Catskilkin came through asking if I was alright or if I'd been trapped in or some sort of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iFrVmCZzWM" target="_blank">Alan Partridge scenario</a>, this suddenly put me on edge. The second thing that happened - as I was reading these texts - was they asked me to carry some wine down into the cellar. Quite a dark scary looking cellar<br />
<br />
If they are going to do something terrible to me this is the moment I thought as I headed down some old wooden stairs into the dark, worrying about the sound of the door shutting behind me.<br />
<br />
I needn't have been afraid though, of course nothing terrible happened to me, in fact the exact opposite happened. Non terrible loads of amazing brilliant things happened to me.<br />
<br />
I feel I should also clarify I was never really that scared anything bad was going to happen either, I just wanted some dramatic tension in my story. After the first couple of emails between me and Erik who was organising the event I went to follow him on Twitter and saw that I already did, I also followed most of the other people that were invited too and soon realised that pretty much everybody involved was an awesome dude that I sort of knew from back when Art Brut used to play in NY every couple of months.<br />
<br />
I emerged from the cellar safe, I was not beaten up for mean things I'd said in the past about Bloc Party, but was instead treated to an incredible Vegan lasagne and some delicious booze.<br />
<br />
That makes it sound a bit like they were rewarding me for being mean to Bloc Party when they were in fact just very good hosts. I have no idea about their feelings on Bloc Party. Bloc Party has nothing to do with this story. I should probably stop making jokes about a brief fracas that happend 15 years ago.<br />
<br />
I'd only really known these people an hour and they already felt like great friends, I was sat at the table, already having an amazing time and again I was overwhelmed that art had brought me here all the way across the Atlantic to this amazing place (and delicious food).<br />
<br />
Sitting there with Erik and Adrienne was great too. They had sent me information about each other for the speech I was going to make at their ceremony, and I'd spent so much time working on it that in my head they had (almost) become fictional characters. So to see right in front of my eyes how much they loved each other was really special.<br />
<br />
Full of lasagne and booze and excitement for the next day, I went to bed.<br />
<br />
The next day was the ceremony. The house got busier and busier with more and more guests arriving. At parties I tend to be a bit shyer than people expect, in the band I am all extrovert and jumping around but I can be a little introverted and shy when there isn't a microphone in my hand. It has always frustrated me that I can be like that, but this trip taught me the best way to deal with my occasional shyness and that is to be always making a huge painting in the corner of the room.<br />
<br />
I had set my self up at the back of the main living room in the house and started to paint just after breakfast. All day long people came up to me and said hello. It is impossible to be introverted when you are making a great big piece of abstract expressionism at a party because everybody wants to come and say hello to you. I got to meet everybody as they arrived and they were all awesome. Erik and Adrienne had definitely filled their life with brilliant people.<br />

<br />
<br />
While the painting was drying, everybody gathered together and started the ceremony. This is where my memory fades a little bit. I know exactly what I said, I still have it, but I was so caught up in the event, and it felt so important that I do it right, that at the time I felt like I was hovering above proceedings watching a scene of two people very much in love renewing their wedding vows. Even thinking about it now it feels more like a great film I saw once than a real memory.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I definitely had tears in my eyes, but I think I managed to hide them. I am after all a lo fi Punk Rock Motherfucker, that can't be seen to be sentimental.<br />
<br />
Part of my Adventure Delivery Service system is that I perform my spoken word show and also DJ.<br />
<br />
By the time I got around to the spoken word part, I had been hanging out with everybody for ages, mainly talking about Billy Joel and how awesome he is for playing Madison square Gardens forever and also for driving his car into peoples houses on the way home. So when I perfomed my spoken word show it felt like I was talking to old friends as opposed to strangers, it was a very casual atmosphere that I loved. There were questions all the way through, especially from the Mums who were brilliant and hilarious. I feel like this might actually be the perfect way to perform my spoken word show, as an interactive after dinner speech. For the DJ-ing after just a little set from me, we were just sharing our favourite songs with each other like old friends with lots of love for The Monkees and more Billy Joel. Pretty much a perfect evening. Hooray.<br />
<br />
The next day I had no plans, I thought I was just going to get dropped at the airport in the evening with a stinking hangover, but Adrianne and Erik had plans for me. They took me geocaching which I'd never heard of before but involved a walk along the beach and searching an old train for a secret compartment, we also saw jellyfish that light up when you touch them, talked A LOT about Magic The Gathering and went to a Camera Obscura, and on the way to the airport a vegan resteraunt where I had Cauliflower Buffalo wings, which are even nicer than real chicken wings and don't involve eating a chicken. I found a pretty good recipe when I got back to Berlin too its <a href="https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-cauliflower-buffalo-wings/" target="_blank">HERE</a> if you want to try it. (recommended)<br />

<br />
<br />
I've kept saying this but that last day really cemented it in my mind. I had made some proper really good friends for life. I was flattered that I'd been asked to be part of their ceremony and delighted at all the adventure I'd had and all of it was because of art, my adventure was fuelled by a painting. AMAZING.<br />
<br />
Maybe it has taken me this long to write about it as that is the length of time it takes to get your head around something like that. A truly magical experience.<br />
<br />
My second Painting delivery by adventure was just as great, and means I managed, via paintings, to twin New York with Derby. But that's a different story..<br />

I no longer make this Abstract Expressionism painting. These were the last two. I still like delivering paintings by adventure though. If it is something you are interested in you can email me at eddie.argos.resource@gmail.com<br />

I've spent the last two years painting other peoples favourite albums. I've loved it. I'm still doing it, although at the moment I'm only making three at a time and then taking them out of my shop so I don't get totally swamped with orders like I did last year. There is space for two at the moment if you are after one and I would get on it fast if you are thinking of getting someone one as a Christmas Present.<br />
<br />
You can get them<a href="https://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/what-is-your-favourite-album" target="_blank"> HERE.</a><br />
<br />
To keep me sane, in between listening to other peoples favourite albums I painted some Art Brut albums, I know those guys pretty well and so didn't have to have them on repeat while I made them (sometimes its nice to paint in silence)<br />
<br />
There are some It's A Bit Complicated's <a href="https://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/it-s-a-bit-complicated-pump-up-the-volume" target="_blank">HERE</a> and some Art Brut VS Satan's <a href="https://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/art-brut-vs-satan" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
They both come with a lyrics sheet of your favourite song from that album and are already made (apart from the lyric sheet) so will go straight in the post when you order them.<br />
<br />
Now that most of the other peoples favourite albums are in the post, I've started making some of my favourite albums. I've done this in chronological order of when I bought them (ish) and started with the first band I fell in love with Pulp.<br />
<br />
I was 15 when Common People came out and I think it was the first contemporary song I'd heard that felt like it was for me. I remember seeing it on Top Of The Pops and having my tiny teenage mind blown. I rather embarrassingly thought it was by Suede as I hadn't been paying attention to either what Suede sounded or looked like, I just knew one of them had a floppy fringe because my Dad liked them.<br />
<br />
Anyway, once I realised who it was by, I found the single in Woolworths but couldn't find the album that it was from as that wasn't out till months later. So with my paper round money I attempted to seek out all the old Pulp albums I could find. I had no way of knowing what any of them would sound like, so I just bought the most recent ones I could find, guessing (correctly) that the ones released in the 90's would sound a lot more like the band I was curious about than the ones recorded in the early 80's<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The first 'album' I bought was Intro, probably still my favourite Pulp album (or collection of Singles and B-Sides really) O.U might just be the best Pulp song, I fucking love it. I've just played it 5 times in a row. That whole album was perfect for me though as it scratched the itch of exactly what I was looking for at the time. Accessible pop music with an arty edge and great lyrics.<br />
<br />
<br />
The second album I bought was Seperations (the secondhand shop I was buying my Pulp Cassettes in did not have His N Hers in it yet ) and I loved it. Countdown especially (actually maybe that is my favourite Pulp song) when I became a goth briefly a few years later this album stayed firmly on my CD player, it fitted in perfectly with that aesthetic too.<br />
<br />
The third album I bought was His N Hers, I saved extra money to buy it new as I began to realise it would never turn up second hand. I liked it, not as much as Intro or Separations, but it made me feel mature and old and wise to hear all these songs about relationships and experiences that were just around the corner for me. (never stole a car to go to a reservoir, or hid in a wardrobe but you know what I mean) I went back to it after playing Different Class over and over though and ended up enjoying a it lot more and appreciating the nuance of it after being hit over the head with those pop bangers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Fourth was Different Class.<br />
<br />
I loved this album straight away, of course I did it was the main event, the one I'd been waiting for. I didn't own a CD player so I was very jealous of my friends who had the changeable covers. Its hard to think about this album in any other way than it being the soundtrack to everything I got up to as a teenager. I carried it around everywhere with me, often changing whatever music was playing at parties to this. I hardly ever play it any more but that's probably because I don't need too. If I think and reminisce hard enough I can hear it perfectly in my head.<br />
<br />
Different Class and His N Hers have already been sold but you can buy Separations <a href="https://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/separations-pulp" target="_blank">HERE</a> and Intro <a href="https://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/intro-pulp" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />

Last year I had the great idea of delivering paintings by adventure.<br />
<br />
I put some very big paintings for sale at £850 each and offered to hand deliver them (with a performance of my spoken word show and some DJ-ing thrown in) all I asked was that you put me up for a night, fed me and paid my travel. I am in no way a Diva, I'm pretty easy going. I said I'd eat and drink whatever you are having and I can sleep on the sofa. The original blog is <a href="http://the-eddie-argos-resource.blogspot.com/2017/07/massive-paintings-affordable-shipping.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
I loved the idea, and I suppose writing the blog was more about me sharing that funny thought than actually expecting people to take me up on it. I mean I really wanted some adventure, but I was not sure of the likelihood.<br />
<br />
So I was delighted when two different sets of people took me up on the offer. Both lead to two proper amazing adventures too. I have just not had a chance to write about them till now because I've spent every waking minute of the last year<a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_320655812"><span id="goog_320655813"></span> making paintings of peoples favourite album covers (with reviews).</a><br />
<span id="goog_320655814"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><br />
The first exciting thing to happen was that the two different people tried to buy the same painting.<br />
<br />
'Abstract Expressionsim is harder than it looks.....a lot of fun though'.<br />

<br />
This is one of my favourite ever paintings of mine and I'd actually promised myself that this actual painting was the last one of these I would ever make. (I've made quite a few smaller and medium sized paintings of this in the past)<br />
<br />
However, I can not resist the call for adventure. I checked with the person who first asked for the painting (and me delivering it), if he minded that I was thinking of making another, and I checked with the people who had ordered second if they minded me making them a newer version of the same painting. Luckily everybody was cool, and I was all set for two adventures.<br />
<br />
The second painting was actually the first adventure. A couple called Erik and Adrienne wanted me to fly to NEW YORK to officiate their 10 year wedding anniversary. OFFICIATE that sounded like I might need to learn a new profession. This was going to be a great adventure.<br />
<br />
I decided the easiest way to transport the painting would be not to make a new one here, but instead, to buy the paint and canvas in America and make the painting there at their wedding vow renewal party.<br />
<br />
So far, so amazing, I was flying to New York to OFFICIATE a wedding anniversary because of ART and a funny idea I had. BRILLIANT.<br />
<br />
Leading up to the trip, so I could write a speech for the happy couple, they both independently emailed me little pieces of information about each other. I liked them both straight away. It was weird and lovely to get a glimpse into their relationship, and again I thought about how incredible it was that ART had led me to this intimate moment.<br />
<br />
On the flight to New York I got very nervous that what I was doing was illegal, that I was intending to make a painting without a proper visa and was going to get caught. I got very paranoid that maybe the TSA read my blog, which in hindsight is a little vain, and that they were going to be waiting for me at the airport. I had visions of them putting me in handcuffs and sending me straight back where I came from. Unsurprisningly the TSA do not read my blog and everything went without a hitch. I got through all the customs stress with no problems at all, ready to start my adventure<br />
<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />
It will not come as a big surprise to some of you that I am not a very organised person. Eric and Adrienne had bought me the flights I needed to get to New York and sent me the tickets. That part of the journey was sorted, also now completed. I had also booked myself a hotel near a train station that seemed to be on the route to where I needed to go. It is a testament to the power of google maps that I manged to get anywhere near where I needed to be. Leaving the airport I realised I had no idea where to go or what I was doing. I just typed my hotel name and 'art shop' into my phone. Luckily we are living in the future and that is all I needed to do. I managed to get paint, canvas and to where I was supposed to be sleeping at the push of a few buttons. Preperation is for losers!<br />
<br />
The next day, at the train station, as confident as I was that all the information in my phone was right, I still thought I had better check with the train people to be sure.<br />
<br />
The wedding anniversary was at a house in Greenport on Long Island.<br />
<br />
Absolutely everybody I asked for train information refused to believe that Greenport is where I wanted to be going. Probably because I look a bit like an aging hipster and I was carrying a massive canvas and some paint they all said..<br />
<br />
'Oh no, you're confused! You mean Greenpoint, you want to go to Greenpoint! Brooklyn! Not Long Island!'<br />
<br />
and then tried to steer me on to the wrong train<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was my first clue that where I was going was off the beaten track. I've been to New York lots and lots of times. During the period when Art Brut were busiest I was in New York more than I was at home. But I have only ever seen the city. In my head all of New York looks like Brooklyn or Manhattan so to be on a train going through places called <i>Yaphank</i>, <i>Mattituck</i> and <i>HICKSVILLE!</i> was a little disorientating. As was the fact I was carrying a massive canvas and a bag full of paint to a place I couldn't even pronounce, <i>Ronkonkoma</i>, to get in a strangers car (Erik's Mum) to be given a lift to a wedding anniversary, where I was going to be making a painting and a speech and then officially watch over and lead a renewal ceremony for some people that I didn't really know. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My thoughts at the time kept veering wildly between THIS IS AN AMAZING ADVENTURE. ART IS WONDERFUL AND SO MAGICAL THAT, IF YOU LET IT, IT WILL TRANSPORT YOU ACROSS THE WORLD AND TO NEW FRIENDSHIPS AND EXPERIENCES and I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM, WHERE I AM GOING, OR WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE! MAYBE THEY ARE GOING SACFRIFICE ME TO THE GOD OF LONG ISLAND (BILLY JOEL?)</div>

Did I make some amazing new friends? Or was I thrown on to a fire by a group of pagans chanting the lyrics to Uptown Girl?<br />
<br />
I guess you already know the answer, but it is fun to end on a cliff hanger. See you tomorrow for PART 2.<br />

<span _msthash="694928">This is the time of year when people list what favourite new music they have discovered, I do it too sometimes. But this year I've hardly had any time to listen to any new music. </span><br />
<span _msthash="445497"><br /></span>
<span _msthash="445497">I mean I've heard the usual suspects The Indelicates, Fightmilk, Ezra Furman all great of course, and I made time for Go Kart Mozart and Peter Perrett (both also amazing) and discovered Idles (who I have found out about late but are also fantastic) but other than that I've been painting and listening to other peoples favourite albums. </span><br />
<br />
<div _msthash="4454971">
I had no idea this project would take off as much as it has, I've painted over 100 favourite albums now (I sometimes forget to take photos of them if I'm in a rush so they aren't all on my Instagram) and reviewed them all. It has been a strange year, with every spare moment taken up listening to someone else's favourite music.</div>
<div _msthash="4454971">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971">
I've written some pretty harsh music critisism in the past. I thought I'd be doing that with this too enjoying some albums and tearing apart others, but when it came to it, I found I couldn't do it. It just didn't seem the right thing to do especially if the album was intended a gift for somebody </div>
<br />
<div _msthash="445497111">
'Happy Birthday! I got Eddie Argos to paint your favourite album, he FUCKING DETESTED IT'</div>
<br />
<div _msthash="4454971111">
or </div>
<br />
<div _msthash="44549711111">
'Congratulations on getting married I got Eddie Argos to paint the music you fell in love to, he thinks you are both idiots for liking it and your taste in music sucks'</div>
<br />
<div _msthash="445497111111">
See not nice! </div>
<br />
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
I didn't want to do anything like that, so actually what turned out to be the most fun thing about the project was finding something I liked about each album. Even Bloc Party.</div>

<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
Going in to each new album with the mind-set 'Hmm I wonder what I will find to enjoy about this' made it a lot more enjoyable. I managed to emphasis the positive with every album, which not only helped me discover I have a broader music taste than I believed, but also, without wanting to sound like a fucking new age hippy, changed the way I see life. </div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
It turns out, life, not just album paintings, is much more enjoyable if you enter every new challenge with the thought. 'Hmm, I wonder what I will find to enjoy about this' I have decided to make it my mantra. So thanks to the Other Peoples Favourite Album Project for that.</div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
As well as gaining what was probably, for other people, a blindingly obvious insight into a good mantra to live your life by. I did also discover some fantastic music that I would not have stumbled across by myself. I was also surprised that the people who got involved had such broad taste in music. I was expecting it all to be Helen Love, Hefner and Half Man Half Biscuit albums.</div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
The two favourite albums I have discovered from painting have been Wild Honey by The Beach Boys and A Date With Elvis by The Cramps.</div>

I was dreading painting Wild Honey if I'm honest. It was a complicated looking one and I thought</div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
'oh no I'm going to have to spend a week listening to over produced songs about sun tanned girls and surfing'</div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
When actually its a perfect slice of bubble gum pop soul music. Its raw sounding, really funny in places and kind of sexy. None of those things were something I would have previously associated with The Beach Boys.</div>

<div _msthash="4454971111111">
I was really looking forward to painting a Date With Elvis, as I knew a little about The Cramps from owning 'Best Ofs' and live albums. They were a band I knew I liked but had never really fully explored. I was delighted to find they were even filthier than I had been expecting with 'What's Inside A Girl?' and 'Can Your Pussy Do The Dog?' being particularly great examples. Loved it.</div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
I also got to revisit a lot of albums I love like Midnite Vulture by Beck and Radiator by The Super Furry Animals, pretty much every Pixies album and some Frank Black and The Catholics, as well as a few of my own favourite albums by Jonathan Richman, David Devant and Hist Spirit Wife and The Mountain Goats.</div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
It was also interesting to see which albums got painted more than once, I painted two Meadowlands by The Wrens, Two Bang Bang Rock and Rolls by Art Brut, Two Frank Zappa's Hot Rats (another album I was not expecting to like but fell in love with), two Sgt Peppers by The Beatles and FIVE With Love and Squalors by We Are Scientists.</div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
So if we are using this as a barometer of best albums ever (and I think we are) We Are Scientists win by three points. </div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
I've really enjoyed making everybody's favourite albums, It really has taken over my life for a year though. There are still a fair few out in the post at the moment plus a few more I still need to paint. So I'm sure I'll write another blog about it when I paint the last painting.</div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
<br /></div>
<div _msthash="4454971111111">
I'm going to take commissions till the end of the year. So if you would like your favourite album painted. I do them in two sizes and the link is <a href="http://www.lofipunkrockmotherfucker.co.uk/product/what-is-your-favourite-album" target="_blank">HERE</a></div>

I paint the album while listening to it and then write a little review.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I know people like to buy them for Christmas presents. So I thought I'd give you a heads up that if you are planning to do that you should get in early to make sure they arrive on time. Unlike Father Christmas I don't have lots of little elves. There is just me and my paints.<br />
<br />
You can order those<a href="http://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/what-is-your-favourite-album" target="_blank"> HERE</a><br />
<br />
Some people don't know what their boyfriend/girlfriend/son/daughter/dog/cat/libriarian's favourite album is. So for those people I've made a voucher you can give them in the form of a card for their choice of favourite album. That they can then redeem it by emailing me and telling me what album they would like. I've added 4 pounds to the cost of the painting for postage of the voucher and the card.<br />
<br />
You can order those <a href="http://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/what-is-your-favourite-album" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
<br />
I'm also making smaller Formed A Band paintings for a limited time in acrylic on Canvas board. 24cm x 18cm, numbered and signed those are £60<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Both sizes of those are available <a href="http://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/i-formed-a-band" target="_blank">HERE</a></div>
<br />
And a few people have asked me if I can make these Transparent B Side paintings with other lyrics on them.<br />

<br />
<br />
As it is getting close to Christmas, I've decided that I will. I can make you a transparent B Side painting with any lyric you choose on it, by anybody not just Art Brut as long as the lyric is not terrible (I decide what is terrible) They are £25 each<br />
<br />

Last month, I invented a new way to deliver MASSIVE PAINTINGS. I wrote about it <a href="http://the-eddie-argos-resource.blogspot.de/2017/07/massive-paintings-affordable-shipping.html" target="_blank">HERE. </a><br />
<br />
The main gist is that if you buy a painting, and pay for my travel and food I will hand deliver the painting to you (this is cheaper than shipping it) PLUS I will perform my spoken word show for you and your friends, or in your pub, playgroup, school assembly..WHERE EVER YOU WANT.<br />
<br />
You can charge people a fee to see the spoken word show and make back the money for the painting, or as an altruistic gesture invite your family and friends and let me tell them all about FORMING A BAND with the hope of making them form their own.<br />
<br />
I will also DJ wether you want me to or not.<br />
<br />
You only pay for the painting (travel, food and let me sleep on your sofa) everything else I see as part of an adventure.<br />
<br />
I sold two MASSIVE paintings using this system, I'm going to Derby for a birthday party in December and to New York for a vegan wedding renewal celebration in September.<br />
<br />
I now see Derby and New York as twin cities.<br />
<br />
I can not wait. These are both exactly the sort of adventures I was looking for when I had the idea.<br />
<br />
I also have two large paintings that I would like to deliver in the same way. I'm not making new paintings these are large paintings from my exhibition in Berlin last year. So when they are gone they<br />
are gone.<br />
<br />
The two paintings are a large barcode trees. (acrylic on canvas 80cm x 60cm)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx9nEgvORqGRTBZJKwlK7UTwOBnr_eZbUuaLo1NFRJLccV75OyT4hm43gIBMy_KJ5GeKO2RMoeQMkHj4uG2loWEMLwSksG2OMB4C5vC6LSh8sugKz_tL5y1BPrO2Tp2SbfRcwFWVe_wCAN/s1600/3%2529+Barcode+Treeadventure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="807" data-original-width="1077" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx9nEgvORqGRTBZJKwlK7UTwOBnr_eZbUuaLo1NFRJLccV75OyT4hm43gIBMy_KJ5GeKO2RMoeQMkHj4uG2loWEMLwSksG2OMB4C5vC6LSh8sugKz_tL5y1BPrO2Tp2SbfRcwFWVe_wCAN/s320/3%2529+Barcode+Treeadventure.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
and a large Sealand. (70cm x 50cm)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1q-hCe7Rdi15cx1aC4wKlAnQTiXG1abdRTsT1i2JGMEz37QTtL4rPxxwlI18FYLqsCBgkdcEOTc9l3dH4RABUG4lEZBpUFASerETx5x7dKJrOqFgrM8d1ScXey4Cdy9wq2K4MAeJcEqwp/s1600/Sealandscape5070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="478" data-original-width="640" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1q-hCe7Rdi15cx1aC4wKlAnQTiXG1abdRTsT1i2JGMEz37QTtL4rPxxwlI18FYLqsCBgkdcEOTc9l3dH4RABUG4lEZBpUFASerETx5x7dKJrOqFgrM8d1ScXey4Cdy9wq2K4MAeJcEqwp/s320/Sealandscape5070.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I do not make these motifs anymore<br />
<br />
Large Barcode trees costs 650 Euro<br />
<br />
Large Sealand costs 500 Euros.<br />
<br />
Massive Formed A Band still available (<a href="http://the-eddie-argos-resource.blogspot.de/2017/07/massive-paintings-affordable-shipping.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>)<br />
<br />
If you are interested you can email me at Eddie.Argos.Resource@gmail.com<br />
<br />
It would make a nice christmas present, but I'm afraid I can not spend Christmas day with you.<br />
<br />
I'm already looking forward to sleeping on your sofa<br />
<br />
Thanks. Eddie Argos.</div>

Hello. I have some large paintings for Sale.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHZ02YBYdc6iMvpXCQkUnq4lkG5kvTuaePVkFf2uad-nLzZEQVac1QxbkMZgmB-CcvieDebONZ1Km8xFXmQDqBzwEPWHN4UKuRpH3vGplmxJssrNm-pXcCxsgmTZSSA1cGA2Mn593FCpFo/s1600/IMG_0162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1298" data-original-width="1530" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHZ02YBYdc6iMvpXCQkUnq4lkG5kvTuaePVkFf2uad-nLzZEQVac1QxbkMZgmB-CcvieDebONZ1Km8xFXmQDqBzwEPWHN4UKuRpH3vGplmxJssrNm-pXcCxsgmTZSSA1cGA2Mn593FCpFo/s320/IMG_0162.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Formed A Band 120cm x 100cm Acrylic on Canvas (this is the best size of Formed A Band Painting)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLldIwglMD8eoufEV-Tk1RIN3hfcQzV2E9a0apQjDBAL4yBVK1zF4Rnnkp4P8VrKkPmhWbWkgZ-SmkPsWxSNXr2cx9z4XF7S-4B5l138qLneztgU4ZCo2QfDmaOyWbcYtF6Ls0yqO0K2H/s1600/ModernartMassiver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="807" data-original-width="1077" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikLldIwglMD8eoufEV-Tk1RIN3hfcQzV2E9a0apQjDBAL4yBVK1zF4Rnnkp4P8VrKkPmhWbWkgZ-SmkPsWxSNXr2cx9z4XF7S-4B5l138qLneztgU4ZCo2QfDmaOyWbcYtF6Ls0yqO0K2H/s320/ModernartMassiver.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And 'Abstract Expressionism is Harder Than It Looks' also Acrylic On Canvas 120cm x 100cm<br />
<br />
<br />
These paintings are ACE, and LOVELY and MASSIVE and VERY expensive to ship.<br />
<br />
So I have figured out a way around that.<br />
<br />
For the brilliant price of £850 (plus travel) you can have one of these amazing paintings hand delivered to you by me and as a bonus I will then perform my spoken word show 'I Formed A Band' for you (with a Q and A at the end)<br />
<br />
I will perform wherever you like.. in your house..at your club..in your doctors waiting room..play group.. working mans club... and also for any occasion you want... a birthday ...a bar mitzvah... a court hearing..<br />
<br />
You are more than welcome to invite other people along for free, or if you want to charge them money you can do that too, or maybe you would like to be the only person there to relish the awkwardness of me delivering an hour long monologue to you sat by yourself staring at me from your arm chair.<br />
<br />
All you need to do is pay for me to get there and a little bit of refreshment.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Travel.</h3>
<br />
I can't drive so you'll need to pay for a train, bus, taxi, horse and cart.. to get me to your house. As long as its possible to bring a large painting along with me I'll do it.<br />
<br />
For Flying, I travel economy with just hand luggage, you will have to pay for the painting one way though of course, (outsize luggage on a flight is usually just the same as a suitcase) I dont mind flying at stupid o'clock.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Accommodation </h3>
<br />
You will also (unless you are in Berlin snd maybe London) have to give me somewhere to sleep. A sofa is totally fine. I don't mind a cat sleeping on me but a dog or larger animal is a bit too much.<br />
<br />
I'll also need a tiny bit of food (I will eat whatever you are having as long as it is not liver)<br />
<br />
And also a little bit of drink (I'll drink whatever you are having as long as its not Pernod)<br />
<br />
And thats it.<br />
<br />
So a painting and a spoken word show for £850. You can invite 85 of your friends and charge them £10 each to get a free painting, or you can try and bring more people and make a profit. I don't care as far as I'm concerned it is all included in the price of the painting.<br />
<br />
Just don't lock me in a cage, or attack me, or photograph me when I'm asleep and we are all good.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in this amazing offer. You can get in touch with me at<br />
<br />
Eddie.Argos.Resource@gmail.com put the words Massive Painting in the header of your email.<br />
<br />
There is only one Abstract Expressionism painting. But large Formed A Band paintings can be made to order.<br />
<br />
The painting will be very well wrapped and packaged.<br />
<br />
I look forward to sleeping on your sofa.<br />
<br />

This is an art project, I've been thinking about for a while.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last year I made a special series of 'mug shot paintings'. - I am still making them in fact you can buy them.<a href="http://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/product/personalised-bring-me-coffee-and-bring-me-tea" target="_blank">HERE</a> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those paintings, I painted peoples favourite mugs into a painting. I loved making them as I'm very nosey and it was cool to see what everybody's favourite cup looked like.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I like more than cups though is music. Every time I was painting a mug I would think this is cool. But I'd much rather be painting this persons favourite album.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also like I said I'm nosey.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So as a new art project, I'd like to paint peoples favourite albums.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Originally I thought that I might refuse to do a few bands Stone Roses, Radiohead etc. But that does not seem in the spirit of the enterprise. So instead what I have decided to do is paint absoloutely any album, but to write a small review of it on the back of the painting. So yeah, you can ask me to paint the Second Coming, or Murmur by REM you just might not like what I write on the back of it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To ensure the album is from a fresh perspective I will listen to the album I am painting as I am painting it (even the Stone Roses) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a painting of one of my favourite albums The Sunset Tree by The Mountain Goats<br />
<br />

ReTramp.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hello, I had an Art Exhibition recently at ReTramp in Neukölln, it went ACE thank you.<br />
<br />
At the opening I played some songs with my friend Arne Buss, including a Morrissey cover, a David Devant and His Spirit Wife song, Gene Hackman by Robyn Hitchcock and on the closing night we played Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers. We forgot to film it though so you will just have to imagine how ace it was.<br />
<br />
Luckily we did remember to take some photos. (and our friend <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Kerstin-Kary-640785139303007/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Kerstin Kary </a>drew some of it)<br />

I really like painting the same thing over and over again, but this is the first time I've exhibited that fact in a gallery. I loved seeing all the same paintings but slightly different together. I like that everybody that buys one has a similar but different painting, like being part of a strange exclusive gang.<br />

I've been to the post office everyday this week with paintings so if you are waiting on a painting it should be with you any day now.<br />
<br />
I took a stock take also so if you are interested in any of these paintings this is how many I have left of each.<br />
<br />
Because I charge in £, if you are an American, I guess these paintings are now kind of on sale. The terrible depressing Brexit sale.<br />

I love painting the same thing over and over. I've written about it before. <a href="http://the-eddie-argos-resource.blogspot.de/2015/11/formed-band-paintings-for-sale.html" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
<br />
What I enjoy is seeing the subtle differences between each version of the painting I make. I'm trying to recreate each painting exactly, so any difference fascinates me. Why is it different? How come I couldn't make it exactly the same again? I understand this is a process that probably only interests me - as I've said before it is an EXTREME form of naval gazing. I really enjoy it. I especially like every painting being the same but different, in my eyes it makes each reproduction far more 'honest' then if I had made prints.<br />
<br />
I haven't kept count, unfortunately, but by my estimations, I've made approximately three hundred different sized Formed a Band paintings. The original is on Keith Top Of The Pops hallway wall. The newest one is hanging in my front room. I've been perfecting them for years. If you are a regular reader of this blog you probably own one of the ones I made in between Keith's and mine. All of you with a very similar - but not the same - painting, you are part of an exclusive gang.<br />
<br />
Last year I made 'pocket money paintings' where I remade some of my favourite motif's over and over again to say goodbye to them and to force myself to start making new paintings (that I could start making over and over again) This time I numbered them, so I can tell you that I made 217 Death To Everything That Is Not Guitar Music paintings, with these plus the originals and a few in other sizes that is about 240 paintings in total. The guitar was really hard to paint and never the same twice. Not even close. So those paintings, despite my best efforts, are individually pretty unique. I don't make that painting anymore, and I plan on never painting another guitar again as long as I live.<br />
<br />
At the moment the paintings I am making over and over again are the Transparent Mix Tape paintings. They are about three times the size of last years 'pocket money' paintings (these are 30cm x 15cm) and cost ten pounds more, unless you buy more than one then they are about the same price or actually even less.<br />
<br />
I'm a little obsessed with mix tapes, this shows my age a little bit I think as they haven't really existed in this form for about 15 years, or maybe more. I was very much the sort of person who would try and hide messages to people within the songs on the tapes I made, and was always on the look out for the messages people were trying to send me with their choices, either subliminally or on purpose.<br />
<br />
I've always seen it that mix tapes are always more than just a collection of tunes, even if the aim really is just showcasing your favourite songs to someone, that is still sending messages in a way. So I've made these transparent mix tapes with the message clearly on the side. No hiding of the message at all.<br />
<br />
All three are from Art Brut songs.<br />

<br />
Snakebite City compilation albums are AMAZING.<br />
<br />
I grew up in Dorset in the mid-nineties, if the internet existed then I couldn't afford it. The only way I could discover new music was by buying indie compilation CD's. I was very poor and they were usually really good value for money, often £5 for a CD with about twenty six different bands on.<br />
<br />
Of course a lot of these compilation CD's were cheap for a reason (they only had one good song on them). The exception to this rule were the Snakebite City Compilations. Snakebite City Compilations were always 100% full of amazing obscure indie pop bangers.<br />
<br />
There were eleven compilation albums in total, and even though I lived in the cultural waste land that was Bournemouth, I still somehow managed to collect them all. Snakebite City compilations became the soundtrack to my adolescence.<br />
<br />
I used to carry a lot of CD's around in my bag, so I could take over what ever music was being played at parties and play what I wanted instead. These CDs would always be a These Animal Men CD, a Helen Love CD, a Carter USM CD, a David Devant CD, and about five randomly selected Snakebite City CDs. So, looking back at it now, wether they wanted them to or not, Snakebite City CD's also soundtracked all my friends adolescences too. Sorry about that Jasper.<br />
<br />
A lot of the Snakebite City bands became my favourite bands, and then later, when I moved to London, they became my flatmates and friends. Art Brut's first ever gig was the last ever Snakebite City night at the Verge in Kentish Town. I'm very glad that we just managed to make it on to something that I saw as an important institution, although I'm sad we never got to be on one of the CDs.<br />
<br />
When I moved house last year all my Snakebite City CD's were stolen - hopefully whoever took them is rocking out to AgeBaby somewhere right now, as those CDs are useless in the wrong hands. I have all the songs on a hard drive somewhere, I'm sure, I just need to dig around and find them. But I had a real itch yesterday to hear some of my favourites and started thinking about what they might be, before suddenly remembering that I had made a radio show for Resonance FM about exactly that.<br />
<br />
So one quick email to Keith Top Of The Pops later I had my hour long show, I thought you might want to listen to it too. So here it is.<br />
<br />
<iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/245590225&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true"></iframe>
<br />
I'm not sure of the legality of me just posting it here so to make up for just doing it. I'm going to suggest that you donate to Resonance FM <a href="https://www.resonancefm.com/donate" target="_blank">HERE</a>, or at least start listening to it. <a href="https://www.resonancefm.com/about" target="_blank">It is an incredible radio station, one of the best in the world.</a><br />
<br />
ALSO<br />
<br />
If you want to buy Snakebite City compilations, it looks like you can still do that <a href="http://bluefiremusic.tripod.com/id21.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
That website looks about 15 years old, so you definitely should buy the CD's just for the surprise on Paul Bluefire's face when he suddenly starts getting cheques in the post for compilation CDs he made 20 years ago.</div>THE EDDIE ARGOS RESOURCEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06106147042066173501noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144976903022358246.post-87277956368376081952016-01-29T10:37:00.000-08:002016-01-29T11:14:02.581-08:00Personalised.

Do you like Coffee or Tea? Do you often have a hangover? Do you often have a hangover so bad you can't even talk? What you need is a BRING ME TEA!/BRING ME COFFEE painting you can point too.<br />

I really enjoy painting the same thing over and over and seeing the subtle differences, but I also really enjoy making my art personal for the person that receives it.<br />
<br />
In the painting the mug is blank, if you have a favourite mug you can personalise the painting by sending me a photo of it and I will paint it into the picture, so the mug in the painting will be of your favourite mug.<br />

I've never understood people that make their end of year lists in the middle of December. What if they get a really good book for Christmas? Or suddenly discover a brilliant album on NYE at a party.<br />
<br />
All end of year lists should be written about a week into January, after a period of proper reflection, not spur of the moment half way through December.<br />
<br />
I don't really like lists anyway, so here is a kind of cultural round up of the year.<br />
<br />
First I should say I was really busy, I released a<a href="http://lofipunkrockmotherfucker.bigcartel.com/category/books" target="_blank"> memoir</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Double-Book-One-Eddie-Argos/dp/1632155613" target="_blank">a graphic novel,</a> toured a spoken word show, and had two art exhibitions. Quite a lot of stuff to fit into a year and probably frustrating for the people waiting for an Art Brut album, sorry.<br />
<br />
While I didn't discover an amazing new album on NYE I did get a great book for Christmas, Russell Senior from Pulp's<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Freak-Out-Squares-Life-called/dp/1781314381" target="_blank"> 'Freak Out The Squares'</a>. Art Brut worked with Russell on a couple of songs a few years ago, his book made me wish we'd worked with him more. In fact, it actually made me wish I'd forced him to join Art Brut on the Violin. He would have caused loads of trouble. It would have been brilliant. Even if, for some unusual reason, you don't like Pulp, you should definitely read Russell's book it is hilarious and brilliant<br />
<br />
Other than that, I read J.B Morrison's <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Frank-Derricks-Holiday-A-Lifetime/dp/1447292030" target="_blank">'Frank Derrick's Holiday Of A Lifetime'</a> which was fantastic. I've loved every one of Jim Bob/J.B Morrison's books but this one was really special. I read it all in one day over the course of a series of flights and trains from Berlin to some festivals in the middle of nowhere in the UK. I liked it so much that,despite having other books with me, I read it again on the way home. If you haven't read it you really should. I loved it.<br />
<br />
I also really enjoyed Christopher Brookmyre's 'Dead Girl Walking' if you don't know Christopher Brookmyre and you like thrillers/detective novels. I suggest you start from the beginning and read all his books. It was ace to be reading a Parlabane story again.<br />
<br />
I was a judge for the British Comics Awards this year and through that I read loads of great Comics and Graphic Novels. The books that I especially enjoyed were The Motherless Oven - which freaked me out as it seemed to be based in an alternative version of where I grew up in Parkstone, and The Rabbit. I also loved <a href="http://averyhillpublishing.bigcartel.com/product/metroland-1-by-ricky-miller-julia-scheele" target="_blank">Metroland</a>, which was not nominated but I picked up at Thought Bubble and of course Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl which I've been lucky enough to have read all of and is my favourite volume of Phonogram. My favourite comic of the year was Julia Scheele's<a href="http://onebeatzines.bigcartel.com/product/i-wished-i-was-married-to-the-sea-by-julia-scheele" target="_blank"> 'I Wished I Was Married To The Sea</a>' a beautiful little anthology of her work that I carried around in my bag to take out and look at/read for a couple of months after I bought it.<br />
<br />
I began the year in a bit of grump about how terrible the state of music was at the moment, but this was pretty stupid and churlish of me as 2015 has been a great year for music. The height of my strop was at SXSW where for the first two days I managed to convince myself there was no good new music as the only decent band I'd seen were The Pop Group - who formed in 1977. On my last day though I saw Hinds, Happyness, Honeyblood and Ultimate Painting who were all AMAZING and made me realise I was an idiot for being a grump.<br />
<br />
Secretly the greatest band in the world, if only more people knew they existed, <a href="https://corpor.at/artists/The_Indelicates/" target="_blank">The Indelicates</a> also had an album out this year which you should buy as it is fantastic, as did The Nightingales also FANTASTIC and Mikey Georgeson and The Civilised Scene (also fantastic). I also played the FIDLAR album on repeat for most of 2015.<br />
<br />
Luke Haines released an album too called British Nuclear Bunkers, which Im sure is incredible, but I don't listen to records that don't have lyrics on them - no matter how good they are. If you do you should check it out as I'm certain it was the best record without lyrics on it that came out this year.<br />
<br />
My favourite album of the year - today at least, yesterday it was probably The Indelicates and the day before FIDLAR etc - was Ezra Furman's Perpetual Motion People, I've known Ezra for a long time and its fucking ace to see him finally get the recognition he deserves. I hope he becomes as famous as Prince, he certainly deserves to be.<br />
<br />
I've definitely forgotten other records that I loved this year, which is a great feeling to have as it means there were so many. Hooray.<br />
<br />
I'm doing my spoken word show in the UK and Germany in 2016 too. If you would like to come there are dates on my <a href="http://eddieargos.com/" target="_blank">websi</a>te<br />
<br />
Hopefully see you there.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I really enjoy making the same painting over and over again.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm genuinely trying to make each one identical, so the slight differences that occur between each painting fascinate me, as do how the paintings change over time. What I'm doing is a productive form of naval gazing I guess, and also a form of mediation. It is very satisfying to come out of a very deep thought after hours of contemplation and find myself surrounded by paintings that I've made.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I retired a lot of my motif's last year. And have been working on a lot of new paintings.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did not retire Formed A Band though. Formed A Band is my favourite painting to make. I've made and sold more than 200 of them, all in different sizes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love the fact that there are hundreds of Formed A Band paintings out there, resting on peoples shelf's or hung on peoples walls. I'm an idiot, so believe in magic and I honestly believe that is a mystical energy being released from this motif being out in the wild, that powers my DIY endeavours. I'd turn it into wallpaper if I could and then try and convince people to plaster their houses with it. TILL I BECOME ALL POWERFUL.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ANYWAY...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While I didn't retire the Formed A Band motif. I did presume that everybody who wanted one already had one. I have had a few email requests though of people asking if they could buy one for their loved one for a Christmas present so I am making some this week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For this week only if you'd like to buy a Formed A Band painting. You can get them from my shop.</div>

<br />
I had an art exhibition a little while a go, my first in the US. It was great. I was exhibiting alongside Lee Ranaldo whose<a href="http://www.leeranaldo.com/" target="_blank"> art I</a> love, and I got to fly out for it and everything.<br />
<br />
It was for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-SHOW-On-The-Road/169808209887978?fref=ts" target="_blank">The Show On The Road</a>, an AMAZING art gallery, or if you like 'visual food truck'<br />
<br />
I'm a little bit in love with the idea of a 'visual food truck' I like that it is '<i>pedestrian level art, not high art or low art but road art</i>' Karen Light who runs The Show On The Road explains her idea much better than I ever could in this video </div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kh9NWHq2mXg" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
I was over in the US with the exhibition for the period of SXSW which was ace too, we were in the convention centre, here is a video of me performing a weird stripped down version of Modern Art inside the gallery.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We sold loads of paintings. HOORAY..but there are still some left and I thought it would be a good opportunity for some Americans, who have wanted to buy some of my art in the past but not wanted to pay for it in GBP or to have to pay the expensive shipping to get it across the Atlantic, to buy some.<br />
<br />
I'm also proud of the paintings and want to put them on my blog.<br />
<br />
Here they are with prices.<br />
<br />
These three are from my new 'Talking To The Kids' series of paintings, despite the K is for Kultfigur looking smaller they are all the same size as you can see <a href="https://www.facebook.com/169808209887978/photos/pcb.380946865440777/380946845440779/?type=1&theater" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />

<br />
A is for Art: Acrylic on 20cm x 20cm canvas = $85 + P&P<br />
<br />
F is for Fanzine: Acrylic on 20cm x 20cm canvas = $85 + P&P<br />
<br />
K is for Kultfigur: Acrylic on 20cm x 20cm canvas = $85 + P&P<br />
<br />
Last year I finished making my <b>Ignorance is Bliss</b>, <b>Clever Clever Jazz,</b> and <b>Fuck Rock Lets Art </b>series of paintings forever, but I still had one or two of the larger paintings left, they were on exhibition too.<br />
<br />
I don't make these anymore. Besides the MASSIVE originals, I don't think I have any even in Berlin. If you are a fan of these motifs than it is pretty much your last chance to buy them.<br />
<br />
Here they are<br />

<br />
St Pauli: Acrylic on canvas 30 x 40cm = $100<br />

<br />
<br />

<br />
There are three different versions of this all 30cm x 60cm acrylic on canvas $145 each.<br />
<br />
The postage on all of these paintings is somewhere between $10-15 and every painting gets a free Brilliant! Tragic! Art Brut comic included so all in all a bargain!<br />
<br />
These are not the best photos and the best way to see the paintings is definitely to visit the truck in Austin<br />
<br />
I mean look at this!<br />

Hello, I've written a memoir.<br />
<br />
It begins with me playing the Vacuum Cleaner as an instrument onstage in my first band and ends with Art Brut recording Art Brut VS Satan in Salem Oregon with Black Francis.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
In between you found out about the time I <span style="line-height: 1.28571429em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">kicked Paul McCartney, fought Kele from Bloc Party, what colour Russell Senior from Pulp tried to make me sing in and the important lesson learnt from Anton Newcombe at the Red Rock Amphitheatre in Colorado, as well as the stories behind your favourite Art Brut songs plus much much more...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
I'm performing a spoken word show in Islington on the 22nd of October and in Jersey at the Branchage Festival this Saturday 27th September.<br />
<br />
I've recently had it pointed out to me that actually all Art Brut shows are spoken word as my singing voice is not very different than my speaking voice, but these spoken word shows won't have any musical backing, it'll just me talking at you.<br />
<br />
The show I've written is called Formed A Band it is about forming a band, specifically me forming Art Brut and how I went about it. Some of it will be funny because I am an idiot and did quite a few stupid things.<br />
<br />
However there is a vaguely serious reason for me performing this show and I'm afraid when I tell you it I'm going to sound self important and a little bit like a grumpy old man, but I'm going to say it anyway.<br />
<br />
So, without wanting to sound too much like Jake Bugg, here we go...<br />
<br />
I'm not really a fan of those TV shows where people try and get famous by singing/performing in front of judges, I think it is detrimental to music and art and that the pop charts are much worse because of it.<br />
<br />
I recently became worried that nowadays people think those shows are the only way to become a performer so to show there is another path, I have decided to tell my tale of starting a band which is full of happenstance, hoover playing and pretending you can sing like Aretha Franklin.<br />
<br />
Luckily no judges were involved.<br />
<br />
I'm not telling my story in front of Simon Cowell or Ricky from The Kaiser Chiefs with a tear in my eye, hoping to win a very short lived record contract and a mawkish christmas single, I'm telling it upstairs at the Hen and Chicken and in a tent on Jersey. You should come.<br />
<br />
That has made the show sound a bit grumpier than it is, I promise I wont shout at you (well no more than usual)<br />
<br />
You can buy tickets for the Hen and Chicken show<br />

<b><br /></b>
The Branchage show might actually be called I Met A Man Called Chris Chinchilla At A Party as I've only got 30 minutes and I havent quite figured out how to shorten the story yet.<br />

Motherfuckers! A HARDBACK lyric and essay book.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hello, I recently crowd funded a book called 'Any Questions?' the book is an annotated collection of all the lyrics I've written for Art Brut, plus an essay on each album, (and an essay about the B-sides) plus a few illustrations drawn on to the original pieces of paper I wrote the lyrics on. <a href="http://the-eddie-argos-resource.blogspot.de/2013/11/hey-motherfuckers-lyric-book.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> is what I wrote about the book when I launched it.<br />
<br />
It went really well, THANK YOU. It went so well, in fact, that I have upgraded the book from Paperback to a very nice matte HARDCOVER book, the sort of book that a motherfucking academic, like myself, deserves. The cover has changed slightly too, it now looks like this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span id="goog_1352537545"></span><span id="goog_1352537546"></span><br />
Everybody that has already bought a book, your version will now be a hardcover. All the first edition copies of the book will now be a hardcover, limited to 500 copies signed and numbered.<br />
<br />
Because of the personal nature of Art Brut lyrics, as a band we tend to attract a lot of people who are very similar to me, one of my defining characteristics is that I am very disorganised. This explains why I've had quite a few emails from people who missed the opportunity to buy the book while I was crowd funding it - well this and the fact I was crowd funding over the Christmas period when everybody is busy.<br />
<br />
For those disorganised people, and also for the people who are more interested now its a hardback book, I've extended the offer I used over the crowd funding for a few more weeks.<br />
<br />
Here are the two versions of the book you can buy.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>A signed, numbered, hardback edition of 'Any Questions?' £20</b></h3>

The book will ship out at the end of January, postage is included in the price to anywhere in the world. I will email all the people who bought a book wanting a song written into it next week - to find out which song it is they want. I may be using this information to compile the most crowd friendly set list for Art Brut ever. So far there have been a lot of request for <i>Demon's Out </i>you bunch of misanthropes.</div>

Hello. My painting 'Death To Everything That Is Not Guitar Music' was really popular and sold out a long time ago. Probably <a href="http://twitpic.com/bo9idk" target="_blank">because Alex Kapranos bought one and tweeted about it</a> (thanks Alex).<br />
<br />
So I've made small number of smaller £10 versions. (+ £3.50 P&P)<br />
<br />
I can send them to anywhere in the world. They are (12.7cm x 17.7cm)<br />
