Frankly, Franks was frank: There would little […]
I put the artists on Sixsmiths volume 2 to the question. This is what Dean Rankine said: What rash promises did Franks make in order to convince you to participate in this project? Giving me money was a big one! He also plied me with mock-meat at a Chinese vegetarian restaurant. Which seems like a […]
I put the artists on Sixsmiths volume 2 to the question. This is what Sacha Bryning said: How did you come to be involved in this project? Well you asked me at a book launch and these things always seem sufficiently far off to give a non committal yet positive answer and so I did. […]
