Another Flesh & Bone 2.0 from my bulging sack of digital spanners. Normal analogue service will be resumed after Christmas, tomorrow's and the big day's are likely to be as crude - I'm distant from my scanner see so I'm pumping them out direct to the screen for now.

LOOK MA, NO PENS! Don't think it's obvious but technology failed me and saved me and for reasons unknown I had to craft this episode of Flesh & Bone on the computer. We'll see if normal service is resumed tomorrow but I have a feeling it might not be. Flesh and Bone 2.0!

Flesh & Bone exhibition

2011-06-05T13:46:00.000-07:00

Doooo wopper! Recently work was completed at Common bar in Manchester at turning their walls into a Flesh & Bone-o-rama. It was a massive amount of fun (at least a gallon), it took ten days of pure grit and weeks prior of careful preparation, punchline punchbagging and a whole lot more besides. Screenprints were made kindly by my Dad, four different screeny-p's on paper and then a t-shirt and totey b. These are all for sale at Common as of now. The exhibition runs til the end of September so if you're in Manchester get down. You should go there anyway, the beer is good and the fries are shoestring. Thanks to my glamorous assistants for helping with the painting of the walls, I couldn't have done it without you all that's for sure. Not all these photogs are mine, I bagged a few from Common and Rowan. More strip specific photos to follow at some point. Meanwhile, let's hear it for the assistants!

Thanks thanks thanks also to Dunk and all the Common crew for all their enabling, welcoming and complete non-meddling. They fed and watered the troops to immaculate effect. It was glorious. Here's the photos, they're in a mix of started and finished and blurred and crisp. CHEERS

This strip introduces the concept of LIZARD CLUB and also the new saying "What in hell", do the right thing and start spreading it IRL.

Currently listening to : Ben Kweller "Walk on Me" - when this popped up on my shuffle-izer, first thought was "he's alright that Ben Kweller you know!", second thought was that there HAS to be some mega ultra sad cover of this song. No such luck, unbelievably. At least no such luck at finding one with accompanying real-time video playback.

QT with Flesh & Blood. They're getting on already!

Since I'm rarely eating anything when I scan these strips these days, I decided to make things a bit more exciting with the currently eating/drinking listings. Namely by abolishing the eating part and replacing it with "currently listening to". I know, right! The temptation would be to choose something from my Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist that is really choice and thus make it a bit too keen. I never did this with the drinking and eating aspects by the way. So, I've devised a plan whereby I'll "shuffle" my "itunes" and land on the song that I wouldn't mind listening to at this exact point and then I'll post a youtube link to it below. And if there isn't a youtube video then I'll skip it til there is one *

Things...just...got...boring!

Currently drinking : a glass of pinot gringo
Currently listening to : the replacements "someone take the wheel"

* Or if there isn't a video of the band responsible performing the song then I'll use the nearest cover version, no matter how bad! The badder the better?

The beagle-eyed among you may note that there's a bit of a scanner scatter glass splatter patois to this week's Flesh and Bone. Depending on which side of the fence you sit, this is either a brilliant warts and all expose of the grit that goes on behind the scenes OR it's lazebot-5000 on my behalf. Usually rub out that ink drift on Photieshop isn't it. Couldn't muster the gustard to do it tonight because I just finished an all-evening blog extravaganza over on the Good Grief! blog plusssss I only just got into Tim and Eric. So, you know. Swings and rollerblades.

As something of an appeasement for sins past, here's some snaps of an exhibition I was involved with in the Soup Kitchen basement a lil while back entitled "Joyride Playground". I was sharing a wall with my main magpie, Dylan Hughes. I did a Flesh & Bone real-time large-format disaster-piece. See the photos. That dashing Scarlett Pimpernel character pictured is Dylan so don't get a lob on thinking your author is a lush haired lothario, strictly curly fries with raisins for eyes here party-poupons!

Baby Weave, Hairy Hair and FAN ART!

2011-01-26T14:19:00.000-08:00

F & B's regular irregular Monday/Thursday updates fell by the wayside this past couple of weeks but with good honest reason I am telling you. I had other stuff to do, namely doing an anoose load of drawings for an exciting exhibition called "The People You're Not" which is occurring for a whole month from this Saturday at the Cornerhouse, Manchester. It involves a man called Bren O'Callaghan, George Cruikshank, Harry Hill and drunk slebs. What's not to love? Here's the trailer (trailer!)...

The People You're Not - at Cornerhouse from Cornerhouse on Vimeo.

Stick that in your pipe. Whiles you're at it stick these in your pipe, a couple of my drawings for the 3-D toy theatre that's going to be in the exhibition (alongside 5 toy theatres by other artists BTW!), Gazza and the Wineglass. Others in my scene include Keith Floyd, Gram Parsons and Trinny off Trinny and Susannah (slag). You gotsta love that line-up!

Moaty, it's Gazza

Luckyyyyy

Yep yep yo.

Check this shark fillet, F & B got it's first "FAN ART" submissions! Does it count as fan art (comics term people, I read it on the internet) if you asked the person in question to do it for you? Does it count if you asked them to do it while they were sat next to you doing work experience? Sure it counts! The boy genius responsible is Paul Gallagher AKA twitter legend Spooky PG Tips AKA the brains behind Spooky on the Moon AKA the record boss of Kill Yr Records. Pretty sweet inner-head riffs on the current Bone hair pill "storyline". I'm a bit envious of his multi-viewpoints and general vantage flair moves, doesn't he know that F & B is a 2-D no thrills visual predictathon?? What? Who said that! Fair play to you though Paul seriously, lovin' your work...

Especially like the third panel of the second strip, haha! Flesh packing 4 eyebrows, shiiiiine! Well, I'm off now. The official third part to the Flesh & Bone hair pill drama is coming soon, tomorrow maybe? LOL. Fun fact, I'm old enough to be Paul's Dad! If I was one of those cool as 13yr old Dads that is, instead of one of those sad as 28yr old non-Dads. My back hurts?

Bloody long that weren't it.

The drought is over. Flesh & Bone is back, 2011 style!!

This strip was made in 2010 (snoring!) and completed today, when I started it it was snowing. Now it's not snowing but part of me still feels it's relevant. It's snowing somewhere, right?

The title is Snow Joke 2 because I think I already called a previous F&B Snow Joke. I could be wrong.

2011 is the year of the unnecessary explanation, GRAZIA!

Looks like he had a wild time! Speaking of wild times, I'm starting this offer. You can buy any Flesh & Bone original strip for £15. This once in a lifetime price includes postage to wherever you are in the world. I know, right! They're mostly on top quality hi-grade paper, we're talking slightly off-white 300gms car-tridge. They measure in at approximately 42cm by 14cm. The ink is black.

Email me on davidmountpleasant at googlemail dot com to take advantage of my better nature and to see if your strip of choice is available. I dare anyone to actually do this, I will love it. Each strip comes with a poem or rap riffing on your name. Can't say fairer than that.

Double 150th anniversary post special! My boy Mark asked me to pimp his guitar, Flesh & Bone style! Above are the results. Blogger fudged my image order yet again but we don't care, we chill.

Today's strip is below this post!

The World Cup is so over, so ceases World Cup Flesh & Bones. Back to reality on Thursday!

Sorry Gazza. Interesting fact, they used to do a "Gazza burger" at one of the burger vans outside Middlesbrough's ground when Gazza played for them. It ent(r)ailed burger, donor meat, chili sauce and garlic mayo. On paper you're not having it much but let me tell you, it was not half bad. Certainly a more samba option than the "Juninho burger" which only entailed burger and chili sauce (or salsa maybe), burgers by numbers or wot! Lazy journalism.

HOOTENANNY! This is the 150th Flesh & Bone!!! Live it up, give it up, sieve it up! To mark this famous landmark I am unleashing a possible permanent feature to these posts. Here it is, as of what I'm actually intaking RIGHT now whilst posting this blog...

Currently eating : Milkybar white moments
Currently drinking : A glass of sparkling water

Fully inspired by Che Hargreaves' seminal short-lived foodblog of yesterdogg. A true innovator.

Ten points for the indie reference in the title of this blog. Footie and Indie? Now you're talking! This is a pencil F n B too, can't get much more indie than that. LETS HAVE IT

Also, I couldn't help but note that the follower count on this flesh and blog used to be 44 but now it's 43. Wha' happen? Did the 44th disciple cancel their google account? Or did they tire of the World Cup F n B campaign? Thanks to the faithful 43 though, sticking with me through the good times and the BAD. Take heed fairweather 44!

Based on actual true real-life events. You might say viva la Ains. I seen it all, I seen a slug sucking on a peanut AND I've seen a mate drain a bokkle of lager through a vuvu! THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT ENGLAND! play 2 win

ENGLAND!

Dry your eyes mate. The eager eyed among you might notice that this is an "uncut" instalment of Flesh & Bone. My pen was a-leaking and I simply had to share the totally accidental but totally pleasing Bone eye socket smudge in frame 2, now that's what I call a happy accident. Special mention also to the ink droplet that ended up forming Bone's elbow joint in frame 4, one for the blooper reel. Flesh doesn't get off so lightly, note the over-emphasised chin cleft caused by wayward ink drift in frame 2 - overshadowed somewhat by Bone's eye socket eruptus. I left the scribbs and blots underneath the strip just for a bit of fun. Enjoy?
