[added to the Gilary - anti-necro-bestiality art - take a look here

 

 

Anyone who remembers British television in the 1980s will, no doubt, fondly remember Tony Hart's Hart Beat and Take Hart.

 

One particular favourite segment from the show was The Gallery where Hart would pore over children's drawings and try to find something nice to say about them, usually about the vibrancy of colour used by Brian, aged 5, who had scrawled a mass of orange and yellow on a sheet of A4 and called it (in his mum's best handwriting) "Sunshine".

 

In a similar style, having received an unsolicited but welcome tribute from Alma, aged 59, from Bridlington, I set up Hilary's Gallery, or The Gilary, if you will.

 

If you would like to send any nice drawings to go up in the Gilary then please email them over to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . All pictures will go up in the Gilary alongside the following ...

 

Alma, aged 59, from Bridlington (22 Nov 07)

 

Alma prepared a wonderful McCain Potato Parade, in honour of my Accession to the throne of Wetherby (and surrounding areas). I would say that the piece shows innovative use of technology and potatoes. Also, the colours are vibrant. Here is a screenshot.

Alan, aged 64 from Brighton (23 Nov 07).

 

Here Alan has used the medium of stickmen to tell the (made up) story of how I unwittingly employed a flag designer with Nazi sympathies to design the national flag of Wetherby (and surrounding areas). What a vivid imagination Alan has!

 

 

Not only is it a challenging piece which satirises flag designers with Nazi sympathies, you'll also see that there is great vibrancy in the use of colours.

 

PS - Nazism is rubbish kids. Not cool, like the Sex Pistols thought.

Flags seemed to be a continuous theme and I therefore set up a separate page for flag-related proposals - here. Feel free to send more designs to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

 

Waffleknocker, aged 33 and from the Internet (25 Nov 07) 

 

The artist has beautifully captured the wild-eyed shock and desperation a rambler would experience upon finding a dead cow and deciding whether or not to poke the deceased bovine with a big stick. There is also ample use of vibrant colours.

Christine, aged 51 from Salford (25 Nov 07)

 

 

Christine has "pimped" me. By which I do not mean that she has made a profit by forcing me to have sex with men. No, she has fashioned me a crown and medallion, to signify my accession to the throne of Wetherby (and surrounding areas).
