We are all basically artistically challenged in one way or another ...so we
decided to share some of our work with you. Please use the scroll bar on the

First
off we have 'Scare over' an illustrated comic done by Mik ,our former guitarist.
Here he visualises one of his indescribable hangovers! Full of demons and
lurking delirium tremens he takes us on a journey into his darkest paranoic
fears. (warning: not to be read when hungover!). Even though Mik has left
the Restarts he has allowed us to still display his comic.
Note: Scareover is 750 x750 pixels, so you must have your screen resolution
set to at least 1024 x 768, which you can adjust in your control panel.It
is also encased within a Flash movie, so if you dont have the flash plugins
you wont be able to see it.
These
next two are from wall murals painted by myself (Kieran), they were done in
the Albion Pub around 1995. They both measured around 8 x10 ft, but tragically
the Pub was then sold and gutted (paintings destroyed in the process) only
to be turned into a hotel. The pub was a stronghold for the punk scene in
North London at one time, gigs every weekend, punk dj nights, local watering
hole etc.It was a long and sordid tale....
There was a case a few years previous where the same police force, after pulling
the same stunt (beating the shit outta people in the cells and then fabricating
their stories) were caught out and several (punks) got compensation payments
running up into the thousands (..mind you the whole process took years!)...but
alas a happy ending, knowing these bastards dont always get away with abusing
power.
One
night it kicked off though, it was Screamer, Restarts and SFA gig when the
landlord took the liberty of kicking the shit out of one of our mates (for
being too drunk), this then got the attention of the police who in turn decided
to show up in full riot force and batter the shit out of everyone.This is
what the picture depicts on the front of the 'Just Gets Worse '7 inch. The
Stoke Newington Police are renowned for this kind of procedural technique!
The next illustration I did depicted what we wanted to do to the Stoke Newington
Police after their brainless reactionary reponse to someone needing medical
attention. This image was also used for the Stokey Punks picnic and was subsequently
made into a tshirt. Jay from Innerterrestrials still claims how this was the
worst tshirt he could have been wearing when he was nicked by the ol' Bill.
erm sorry there Jay!
This
is the artwork that came as a poster in the Just Gets Worse 7" on Blind
Destruction Recs. Illustration was done by Mik. Click on the image below to
view the Arful Job dodger comic that came with our first 7 Inch. It pops up
in a window similar to the Scare Over comic, (encased in a Flash Movie)
