Said the Gramophone

Said the Guests: Dave Bailey

[My name is David and i live in Manchester. My friend Lucy Jones and I call ourselves Mount Pleasant and we have the drawing fever. I like making (intense) posters, (extreme) record covers and thinking about making (funny) books. I'd like to do more of all these things. I do some work for magazines, most regularly Plan B and NME.

I recently painted an eye on a mountain and some maggots coming out of a skull. I also like drawing 3D letters, splurging tubes and hairy arms. There might very possibly maybe be some Mount Pleasant exhibitions in Manchester and London in May/June but keeping a watchful eye on our site is the best way to sift the fact from the fiction. You can buy posters from the site, they're £3 each or 4 for £10 plus a little p&p, e-mail me yo. You should also go out and snort up all the Land Ahoy! (RIP) and Former Bullies you possibly can.]
