Post Cards From The Edge

March 1, 2010

More goodies for you my chums. communicate the old-fashioned way with our delectable range of   postcards from the other worlds.

Here at Obsidian Oblique we are pleased to inform you our old friend Paul Day is onboard with us .Once upon a time, back in the dark ,oppressive days of Maggie, Mr Day was in the 80’s london cult band The History of Gardening, who amongst their many, many members were Matt Kingston from Bunty Chunks and Cindy Talk. They giged around London for years with The old Anarcho Punk band The Assassins of Hope ,who as the years progressed morphed into Swine (a strange hybrid combination of the Pink Fairies, The Ruts and Motorhead ).For years they both played mainly free gigs and charity events to a bemused audience of Hell’S Angels ,Bikers, Punks, Hippies, squatters and passers bys who had wandered in by accident to get out of the rain. Sometimes people even enjoyed them.

Anyway before I drift down memory lane Paul drifted into art ,got a degree from Chelsea arts and after all those years of study ,is now skint , unemployed and a Leyton Orient fan. So he’s as desperate for cash as the lot of us  hence his  fine art can now be found within our shop at Cafepress. Paul’s a nice chap and if he starves to death it’s all  your fault for not buying anything.

Do the decent thing and buy a few of his whares……and lots of our’s while you are at it.

Cheers chums.
