I almost have no words to express my levels of fury at images of reversed lead type. (The latest abomination being the giant Sherlock Holmes posters at Flinders St Station. I get so angry that even Robert Downey Junior’s face can’t distract me.) doctordarling: The trailer for Gangs Of New York has lead type in it, and it makes me mad because its all reversed and frontfacing. ...

A Wonderful Lamp
A Wonderful Lamp (the shift of light in an unbound universe), the work I made from The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. Printed using stone lithography over both sides of each page. And absolute bitch to install, and I had to make some fairly hefty compromises, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Also very, very difficult to photograph well.

Hi Neil, I’ve been a fan of your work for awhile now and I just came across your site. I’ve had this nagging question, about authors, stuck in my brain for awhile now and I thought you might have an answer or opinion. If you really enjoy an author’s stories and then you find out the author (not you) is a jerk or believes in some fairly wretched things would you keep reading...
