The Strangest Pet On Earth

is a blog dedicated to the work of an untrained artist living in the backwoods of Galloway, Scotland.
Partial to shotguns and dreams about far off lagoons teeming with sea monsters, each painting is:

What Happens Next?

Production still from forthcoming psychological horror short, ‘Sight.’

It’s been nearly 5 years since I was last on stage with a band and that was, ‘Le Couteau Jaune.’ Now, I’m back for 2 nights only with the inimitable ‘Sleeps in Oysters.’ I’ll be partaking in live versions of ‘He Drummed,’ in Bath 30/05/2012 - The Bell Inn and Bristol 31/05/2012 - The Golden Lion. Looking forward to it.

The Lens

Cleans them and post produces them,
Scrubbed blemishes drop to white studio floors,
Spotted youth at the drawing board,
Crumbs between the keys,
Each note in his headphones branded,
Automobile manufacturers, shoe designers, food stuffs,
No longer music, it is a steady stream of consumer goods.

He’s finished,
She’s finished,
Zipped up and transferred to the digital graveyard,
They’ve been dead for years
Whisked off the slab,
Let the editor check the pictures of him,
In his pants, boots and a Stetson,
Smiling at a girl beyond the lens.

30th April 2012 - ‘Don’t Drum For Other Girls’ - Sleeps in Oysters (Seed Records) http://www.sleepsinoysters.com/don%27tdrumforothergirls.html I feature on one of the tracks and this is what they have to say about the record… “A multimedia celebration of an international collaboration between Sleeps in Oysters and two prolific visual artists – Madrid-based video director Carlos Saez and UK fine artist LustrousChemistry (Paul Hearn). The single is presented in physical form as a data disc, giving equal weight to audio and visual elements, with beautiful handmade packaging from Hearn that appropriates the CD artwork of other girls. It includes a techno-erotic video love story, a collection of digital collages, and seven new audio tracks comprising previously unreleased songs, remixes, re-imaginings and spoken-word fiction from musicians Christ and Diasonic and writer, painter and performance artist The Strangest Pet.” There are only 100 physical copies (no digital) available worldwide.
