2001- Acrylic/Oil/Mixed Media on canvas

These paintings were executed in 2000-2001 and the exhibition titled 'Heroin Bear & Friends eat the universe by mistake' opened at Rics Bar in Brunswick Street Brisbane on September 12 2001. I dont need to tell you what happened the day before, but as a result no-one seemed much interested in art, for at least a year after that. I dismantled the exhibition early and packed the paintings away. 2 years later a a private collector purchased the 1st 3 below, the fourth, Heroin Bear himself, i retained. There were originally 12 paintings of various sizes, I do not have photographs of the others which are owned by various private collectors.

1997 - COLLAGE/MIXED MEDIA/COMPUTER SCANS/PRINTOUTS

Images from this collection now form a little book Genetic System Criminal which i circulated widely under the name Enon Yebo, my grafitti tag from school in the 80's - i was paranoid about the John Howard fellatio scene in image 11 below, now i dont care.

(only the original 3 by 4 inch studies survive - the larger works, 5 of which I had completed as almost exact replicas 80cm by 80cm on oilpaper were destroyed by water in the Townsville flood of December 1997,along with 3/4 of my library, some 400 books, which swelled up like a toad when you hit it with a golf club)





1995 - THE BLOW SERIES - OIL ON PANEL 100CM * 100CM

This series of 4 were lost when I was evicted from a studio which turned out to be a squat (i was paying a guy to use the space!) I arrived on the morning of 31st October 1993, I remember the date as I had just read about the death of film actor River Pheonix in the newspaper in transit to my studio. The door was boarded up, I lost all of my equipment, easels etc, the 4 paintings below and a lot of other incidental paintings/studies notebooksetc. The building was demolished, so either they are now deceased or some builder has them somewhere. Also lost was a 3 metre by 1.5 metre painting of the grim reaper. A black metal band named Skropula had expressed interest in using it for a future album cover.
