psycho-realist portraits...
The idea with this series was people are more than the content of their facial features. In all good portraits something of the person behind the features must shine through. Hence...

This series of nine photomontages started life as a one-off interpratation of the Adam & Eve story, as shown by that first apply sexua-morphosis. Then I thought, 'well, if it works for apples, imagine if they had other evil fruit in The Garden of Eden. Hence...  
 

third eye butterfly...
Third Eye Butterfly was a 5-page comic that James Havoc and myself put together back in the early 90's for the Lovecraftian Creation Press anthology STARRY WISDOM. One thing I do remember is my old boss in the 3D games industry, Gregg Barnett, who was one day delighted to report that he had found this tart little ditty in Borders, here in Oxford. It became a running joke of his, the kinky bugger.  
 

the slaughtered paintings...
I had carted these massive life-size oil-on-battened-hardboard paintings around with me since 1985. They were an expression of a troubled youth and early adulthood. It dawned on me in 1995 that they had served their purpose, so one sunny May day, I took an axe to them and hardly any survived the slaughter.  
 

photomontage...
This is a series of photomontage I was playing around with in 2003 and 2004 (some of which made it onto the covers of my HC books, some were just for fun).  
 

the raism illustrations...
There were 32 of these in the original Raism (the songs of Gilles de Rais) graphic novel published by Creation Press in 1990. All A3-sized (ink on white paper) they are now for sale at £1,400 each. I have a paypal account (make sure you use the reference email address mikepREMOVE@REMOVEphilbin.fsbusiness.co.uk, they'll contact me before taking payment for the piece) and remember to send me a thumbnail image of the required painting when you are ordering, using the same email address.  
 

the lost paintings...
These are the paintings that no one has ever seen. Locked in an A1-sized art folder for 12 years. All A1-sized (gouache on white paper) and for sale at £1,400 each. I have a paypal account (make sure you use the reference email address mikepREMOVE@REMOVEphilbin.fsbusiness.co.uk, they'll contact me before taking payment for the piece) and remember to send me a thumbnail image of the required painting when you are ordering, using the same email address.
