Just been sent these utterly bizarre images from Rubber Johnny, the latest creation from the brilliant and deeply disturbing Chris Cunningham.
Cunningham's the guy who did the extraordinary Aphex Twin videos Come to Daddy and Windowlicker. Cunningham's collaborated once again with Aphex Twin on this project - a book and DVD.
"Johnny is a hyperactive shape-shifting mutant child. Kept locked away in a basement. With only his feverish imagination and his terrified dog for company. He finds ways to amuse himself in the dark." I suspect this isn't going to be something you'll want to watch with your mum.
The 'gross-out' poster (what ARE they?) sold on eBay for £16 last week, and the DVD is screening around the country, sharing the bill with Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2 (the latter's story, shocking in a rather different fashion, was reported on by Duncan Campbell in Friday Review a couple of weeks ago.)
