St George
When I got to work this morning, the building next door is all set up for St George's Day. I dunno why but it seemed a really big deal when I was a kid. I'm kind of into the idea of St George, not the Christian bit, but the rad story of him killing a Dragon. Yeah thats right.... only an English man could kill a Dragon, cos they're so real. Just like our other well known English animals we have on our passports, the Lion and the Unicorn.
There used to be Unicorns and Lions in the field behind my studio before the Dragon's chased them all away.....
St George and the Dragon was a legend brought back with the Crusaders and retold . George had been depicted as a soldier since at least the seventh century.
In the full version a dragon makes its nest at the spring that provides water for the city of "Silene" in Libya. Consequently, the citizens have to dislodge the dragon from its nest for a time, to collect water. To do so, each day they offer the dragon at first a sheep, and if no sheep can be found, then a maiden must go instead of the sheep. The victim is chosen by drawing lots. One day, this happens to be the princess. The monarch begs for her life to be spared, but to no avail. She is offered to the dragon, but there appears Saint George on his travels. He faces the dragon, protects himself with the sign of the cross, slays the dragon, and rescues the princess. The grateful citizens abandon their ancestral paganism and convert to Christianity.

Deckades
From Saturday April 17th
for one month only.
The howies shop on Queens Road, Bristol will be holding an exhibition of rare, original vintage skateboards through the ages, from the private collection of Shiner Distribution.
Also, we asked a bunch of our favourite artists to create some one-off hand decorated boards that could be auctioned off to raise funds for Unicef.
We gave each of them an original 1980s blank deck from Shiners’ private collection and let them
do their thing.
The results are a showcase of their unique take on what the skateboard and skateboarding means to them.
Nobody got paid for the work they did. They all gave up their time, sweat, paint and ink voluntarily for the cause, so hats off to them for that.
You can bid for the boards on eBay when the auction begins on 16th April 2010 at 6pm.
All proceeds go to Unicef.
