"...that would be compromising my artistic integrity"
In Bed With Madonna or Truth or Dare to give it the official title is one of my favourite films. Combining backstage footage and performance on Madonna's ground breaking Blonde Ambition Tour of 1990 the film is a fascinating insight into stardom, family and being provocative. This poster advertised a screening presented by myself and was made using old fashioned cut paste and rip techniques. The gold facade being torn away to reveal the grainy truth of performance on and off stage!

POP TARTS: Andy and Debbie slip a floppy disc
Magazines are wonderful records of a particular moment in time. This copy of NME is a gem as it features two of my favourite people: Andy and Debbie and it was exhibited in Tate Modern's Pop Life: Art in a Material World exhibition. It is a great example of Warhol playing on his own legacy while showing his desire to interact with the present. So here he creates a Warhol-style print, of the modern equivalent of Marilyn at the time, with an Amiga at the Commodore Amiga product launch press conference in 1985. Retro! AND the mag is as old as I, being published in January 1986. I don't think you would get such a pairing in music mags these days. Read the interview below:
