Oweynagat has acquired a title screen. This probably means it is too late to turn back. 🖤 The cave is asking what brings you to the mouth: SEEK · BARGAIN · UNBIND What would you choose? 🖤❤️

Yes, that’s right. Art is dead. This is the third installment of my ongoing digital zine series. It is about dead art, respectable culture, copying, ownership, originality and the strange things people keep making despite repeated instructions to stop. r3n.io/art-is-dead/

Art Is Dead: Don’t Consume Its Corpse - Hari Ren Art

“The Moor Fire Above Indian’s Head” (Dovestone, Saddleworth) Smoke from fires around Dovestone, Carbrook & Tintwistle hanging across the area this morning. Thinking of all the nesting birds, wildlife and habitats caught in it. It inspired this today. Huge respect to everyone tackling the fires. 🖤

Throwback Thursday, back to 1993. Not original art this time, but a recreation. The #CardboardCatsChallenge reminded me I used to turn paper chatterbox / fortune tellers into little animal puppets. Tonight I relearned the folds and made a black Harrowden cat. Maybe not much has changed. 🖤🐈

Pat Krupa's beautiful little monument has made its way from Berlin to Manchester. Raw steel. Concrete. Light. Somewhere between a lamp, a sculpture and a tiny industrial monument. Only two were ever made, and I'm incredibly lucky to have one of them. Huge thanks, Pat. ❤️

"The Hooking" If you see wrong bird, walk t'other way. Means Brass Church picked another Oracle. They take 'em under altar, under flood. Consecration. Black water. Copper. Brass. Machinery that should've died long ago. By dawn, same face. Different voice. And when they go silent, machine sing.

Ey up, well this is proper mad... woke up to this this morning. 🖤 My piece Rain in Harrowden, now tattooed by Nat at Tattoo Crazy in Cambridge for Maximillian. One of the earliest Harrowden pieces I made, and the first where the town actually had a name. Proper chuffed seeing this. 🖤❤️
