My heartfelt tribute to the song by X-Ray Spex. I spent many hours hanging out in record shops as a young punk. It was where punks gathered. In Scotland, we were often banned from pubs, cafes etc.
“Warrior in Woolworths, humble they may seem. Behind their servile innocence, they plot and they scheme. They’re a rebel on the underground. They’re a rebel of a modern town.
My tribute to my friend, Alotta Money, who passed away in March 2022. I made this 3D model of his profile picture as a tribute to him, but also as therapy to deal wit the loss. I began making it before he passed but sadly he never saw it.
There was only one of him but there are two of these – one for him – so his family can sell it of they choose to – and the other for me to keep and remember him by.
Siouxsie Sioux – the epitome of Punk.
“The punk thing was really good for women. It motivated them to pick up a guitar rather than be a chanteuse. It allowed us to be aggressive.”
“When punk started it was so innocent and not aware of being looked at or being a phenomenon and that’s what everyone gets wrong. You can’t consciously create something that’s important, it’s a combination of chemistry, conditions, the environment, everything.”
Head was 3D modelled in Nomadsculpt, animation, effects and compositing added in After Effects.
My tribute to the late, great David Bowie. This animated 3D sculpture is created with much love and admiration for an artist who embraced and embodied the late 20th century. He has been there throughout my life as an inspiration – I miss his creativity and presence.
“Keep your electric eye on me babe. Put your ray gun to my head. Press your space face close to mine, love. Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah.”
