About Me

Back in 1983, SHOK1's art teacher banned him from doing Art O'level, not long before he was allegedly sacked for selling drugs to another pupil. SHOK1 had found life drawing incredibly boring and refused to behave.

Having made his name in the global graffiti scene, these days SHOK1 is still busily ignoring rules and boundaries and making work across a wide variety of cultures and media.

He has been drawing pretty much his entire life and is now working towards more spontaneous, conceptual works.

We have no idea how the teacher turned out.

In 2011, all communication in the world will take place via Myspace. The human genoform has mutated ... adapted to it's new habitat. The limbs have atrophied, the vocal chords withered to a thread. We are pale, limbless invertebrates, approaching pure concept. Rupert Murdoch has become an immortal god figure, a vast, planet-sized flatulent hairy brain hanging in the immeasurable nothingness of media space. We will reproduce digitally, via friends requests. Women will have evolved into inflated arsecheeks with a USB port to market them. Googleflops of bad bands swarm around the Murdochoform, absorbing genetically modified opinions like flies around freshly-laid dog shit ... but there is no more dog shit. Dogs have become nothing more than a concept - they only exist as a text string in a list of "interests". In fact, nothing exists anymore. Life has become a low-resolution jpg and you don't belong to you : copyright of your existence, your every thought pattern and consequence, was signed away at the point of your conception. You are just an idea. A bad idea. An unoriginal thought transcribed in plain text format...........Someone draw this for me. I can't be arsed.
