created one hot industrial afternoon in the infamous Enfield Rifle manufacturing plant, stickleback2, bastard offspring of stickleback1, shirt designer, fish harridan and general factotum, cradled the munitions that he lay on and chortled a chortle that filled his wet nurse witha degree of fear and trepidadtion.
the decaying paint on the factory wall made a huge impression upon the infant child and from that moment on his obsession with rust and mechanical parts began.
it was 1956.
the radio still played "around the horne" and elvis P was threat to white society.
few are the folk like stickleback who photographs peeling paint from aging walls or who place rotting string into a collage featuring bones, skulls and chicken feathers.
stickleback, like long horned goldfish, is a rare breed.
and his art is breeding still.
breeding and bleeding onto the pages of discharge .
he has had a couple of exhibitions.
he has designed and sold t-shirts and has designed a varied degree of things for others.
of course he has his faults, who doesn't? he supports liverpool FC and listens to Howe Gelb.
stickleback is an artist and one whose work is vital to discharge .

a man of few words but infinite passions.
his art speaks volumes about his passions and his fears.
he tastes of cordite and his art sounds like sparklehorse.
