Stuart managed to finish the London Fashion Week artwork just in time; the ink on the prints was still drying as the package was bundled into the courier’s hand. The TV launch was arranged to happen on the same day as the launch party. So two huge and important deadlines hung over the studio. We worked like bitches. Last minute edits, encoding, party props and phone calls had to be done; not to mention all the usual business. It was exhausting and the weather was still torturously hot. Expectations were high and the press interest was considerable; Zakiya became a fixture at my desk, earphones inserted, a frown of concentration permanently in place.Jim and Nigel brought over a stack of busted TV’s and computer monitors and we sprayed them with AYCE and antagonistic MTV logos. He also brought his very cute West Highland Terrier, Daisy.



Daisy ran around the studio floor sticking her wet nose into every nook, examining the bins, sniffing Wilco’s tank. We need a dog, we thought, watching her run about and cause chaos. Stuart is musing on the idea of getting a Pug and calling it Mao. I hope he does. The TV launch and party went extremely well, we were too trashed to think too hard about it the next day; Stuart had been awake all night overseeing the first broadcasts, I had been with Jim holding the fort at AYCE the party. When the dust finally settled we could see it had been worth it.

Naomi arrived in traditional Skinhead inspired garb, a pair of brogues and skinny fit Union Jack Tee, if she weren’t so adorable she would have looked pretty threatening. We sprayed the MTV logo onto three TVs and stacked them outside. Settling for a standard hammer and lamenting the lack of serious firepower we tooled Naomi up and talked her through the scene. MTV first aired in 1981 with the words "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll!" Stuart and I were still babies. We’ve watched it mutate into an uncompromising corporate monster, defining youth, talent and musicality for over two decades. They stopped showing us stuff and started telling us stuff; now mostly they sell stuff to us. I have no idea how to get on or be involved with MTV, which is partially why AYCE TV exists. All the good shows and videos and idents have gone. Whatever.

So Naomi (BomBom Suicide) smashes those tired old screens to bits. It’s war. Whilst all this destruction was going on Stuart was inside painting; he’d been requested to design a bag for the goodies at London Fashion Week. This collaborative project with supreme bag designer Jas M B was a new commission only finalised that day. The Fashion Council gave Stuart a deadline that left him less then 24 hours to come up with a design…Brutal. We would have to send his artwork by courier the next day.
