About Me |
|
| I'm an animation director, performance artist, painter and writer, born in Hastings, England but now dividing my time between San Francisco and Los Angeles. I work together with my wife Josephine Huang creating, writing, designing and directing TV shows via our production company (W)Holesome Products Inc . Over the last ten years, shows we've made have included "Life with Loopy" for Nickelodeon, "Phantom Investigators" for Kids!WB and " Dudley & Nestor Do Nothing " for the Disney Channel.
In the 1980s and '90s I ran the Splattervillian performance art troupes Theater Carnivale, Torture Chorus and Poo Poo Bomb and performed in art spaces, clubs and rock venues around the US, Europe and Japan. These days I perform mainly solo shows and continue to produce and exhibit my performance-related paintings. LATEST NEWS UPDATES: Five of my paintings are currently on exhibition at the new Zero One Gallery's inaugural exhibition in downtown Los Angeles, along with art by Anthony Ausgang, Germs, Jeffrey Valance, Robert Williams, et al. The exhibition is up till the end of Feb 2008. Details and photos of the opening are at the gallery website at: http://www.01gallery.com/ My first work of fiction, a weird short entitled "Mister Poppy: a Comedy of Atavism" has just been published in hardback by the prestigious Tartarus Press in the UK as part of their anthology 'Strange Tales 2'. (Volume 1 won a World Fantasy Award in 2005). More details and ordering info via the publisher's website at: http://www.tartaruspress.com/stfttwo.htm and a nice review at:http://www.trashotron.com/agony/reviews/2008/parker-stran ge_tales_ii.htm "NOT JUST CARTOONS: NICKTOONS!" - is a huge new coffee table book that has just been published by Melcher Media documenting the history of all of the Nickelodeon channel's animated series from the early nineties to the present day. There is a chapter on Kablam! that includes several production photos from 'LIFE WITH LOOPY' and a page of my character designs. Loads of other cool stuff from Ren and Stimpy on. Details and ordering info from Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1595910433/ref=wl_it_dp?ie= UTF8&coliid=I17JZG7KT4UNPO&colid=2PBW8HZ7TJAX9 SOUL JAZZ record label in the UK have just published the book "NEW YORK NOISE: ART AND MUSIC FROM THE NEW YORK UNDERGROUND 1978-88" a very cool photo overview of the art, music and performance scene from that period. Many of my performer friends and contemporaries are included along with a small photo of my first performance art group TORTURE CHORUS performing at Club Darinka. Details and ordering info can be found at: http://www.souljazzrecords.co.uk/releases/?id=10566 PERFORMANCES In November 2006 I had a retrospective of my work at the Track 16 Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. which included an exhibition of my paintings, documentation photos and two nights of live performances. Here's a photo taken at the end of the show on the final night, Saturday Nov 18th. Here's a clip from the same performance, "Tourism Without Tears" on November 18th at Track 16 Gallery with guests Marcel DeJure and Eddie body-puppeting 'The Human Body' (costume by Josephine Huang).
