More Anarchy for Art A4 Text Paintings 1 to 20

More Anarchy for Art A4 Text Paintings 1 to 20

Author: Jompiy April 23, 2026 Duration: 17:45
Last night I started on the second batch of Anarchy for Art paintings as I'd like to distribute these for free on the London transport network, like I used to in the early days of Free Art Frees Art. Before the term was even coined, leaving Jompiy series G paintings on the seats of buses and tube trains. Maybe the Anarchy for Art series will engage more with passengers as, unlike Jompiy, it gives them something to read other than their phone, as each has a print out of the manifesto on the back. Given the first twenty were all done in a day, from having the idea to the photos and videos being online, I think doing fifty or a hundren won't take much longer if I give myself the head start of getting the materials all ready beforehand. If I get time this week I'll get the cardboard cut, backs done and holes put in leaving only the PVA gluing of the fronts left to do. The timing has to be right to get the smudge on the red letters, other than that, it should all be pretty straight forward.

Black Ivory is a news-driven art and music podcast by Jompiy, exploring how creativity responds to the world we live in. Rooted in London, UK, the show follows the work and ideas of the group Black Ivory, founded by Edgeworth Johnstone around 2015 and joined by fellow London artist Emma Pugmire and New York State painter and writer Ron Throop. Each episode weaves together conversations, reflections, and updates on the group’s evolving projects, highlighting how their art and music intersect with current events, culture, and everyday life. Listeners can expect thoughtful commentary, behind-the-scenes insights into collaborative work across continents, and a reflective take on how artists navigate the changing news landscape. Tune in to listen episodes that document the ongoing story of Black Ivory as it unfolds through sound, dialogue, and artistic experiment.
