My second book
This link will take you to the e-book on Amazon.
A fellow painter of large pieces said to me I should make a record of some kind, a gathering of little images and ideas created from the large ones. Maybe stitched or glued together.
As I have many large paintings, and a great deal of other work, the idea of having something small I could hold in my hand was very enticing. As much for others as it was for me to see what I got up to from my death bed.
Bedlam : The Art of Graham Houston
Click the cover for a preview of the book.
From famine and war to murder and suicide I have always sought ways which the visual artist could attract the viewer, hold their attention for long enough to see what’s in front of them and prompt a discussion. It’s the temptation of brightly coloured imagery used to create horrifying ideas, human ideas.

Morning Glories
‘Morning Glories’, watercolour, 21″ X 30″ on T.H.Saunders 300lb cold press paper. $4,500.00 U.S.
Framing the Unnecessary.
Temporarily adding the unnecessary to the entropy wall.
It is clearly a large painting, more than half the size of that sculpture.
‘The Unnecessarily Erotic Amoebas of Port Elgin’, watercolour, 21″ X 30″, framed its 28″ X 36″, $25,000.00 US
One of my favourite frame jobs. This one is 28″ X 36″ overall. I made the wooden part with ebony, more for its weight than anything, I painted it black anyway. The inner frame is of gold filled copper bars, not plated, I think there is 6 or 7 ounces of gold that you could recover, but its a secret thing to hang on your wall you see, who would know why you paid $25,000.00 US for this unknown artists work.
The Unnecessarily Erotic Amoeba of Port Elgin
‘The Unnecessarily Erotic Amoeba of Port Elgin’, 21″ X 30″ watercolour, 1993. $25,000.00. Just sitting hidden in a dark portfolio for now.
