| Aaron Aardvark |
| |
|
Aaron Aardvark alternate alias for Gary Stewart, relentless self promoter, not-as-yet-well-known-but-about-to-change-all-that, incredible expanding violet and seriously sick of dawdling in the doldrums of the wrong end of the bloody alphabet. Sick of eating ants all day, would you want to eat ants all day, it’s not all a box of fluffy ducks being the sole extant representative of the order Tubulidentata (look it up). I just want some money (actually let’s face it I want lot’s of money, but any money would be more than I have right now), and real food, and lot’s of recognition, and sex – is that too much to ask?

| About the Artist |
Mr Aardvark (AKA Gary Stewart) already world famous in Hulme Place in the entirely leafless suburb of McLaren Park (wear the fox hat) has a plan so cunning you could staple another leg to it and call it an easel. Well, actually, not really, he just hopes that his pathetic attempt to change the position in life his parents (and in particular his bloody father) bequeathed him, won’t offend anybody too much. And if it does he seriously apologises and is very, very, very, very, very sorry, and hopes that he won’t be deleted from the web site, banned for life, or any other such drastic thingy – unless it makes front page news in which case – go ahead make his day. And I know if everyone did it ... Anyway, instead of rabbiting on like this why don’t we, um, just let the art speak for itself ……

Seriously though, and I am serious, when I’m not being humorous, lame, kitschy, over-the-top, ironic, actually even then I’m usually being serious. Text, in and out of context is my thing and I use anything (including pictures) to get my words across. |
