    These are gorgeous sculptures and I just noticed that the skull on the book cover has an adidas logo on his hood!

    Ricky Swallow is one of my favourite artists, his craftsmanship is amazing. It doesn’t surprise me he has done so well. I saw his early work using old record turntables, then he went on to some major shows including Contempora 5 and the biggest one of all the Venice Biennale. The National Gallery of Victoria bought one of his pieces which you can get as a postcard there. He’s from Melbourne (Australia) originally but London based now.
