Washbelly sells his original artwork and limited edition magazines that detail his artistic journey.
Embark on a mind-bending journey into the bizarre and surreal world of washbelly - the analogue and digital collage, appropriating and repurposing, artist, designer, writer, and opinionated contrarian - through his unique wall art, sturdy print sets, improvisational card collages and the pages of his regular magazine. He also occasionally sells the books he reads and collects to pass on.
In Jamaican patois, a washbelly is the last child out of a woman. Made from the leftovers, the scraps, the residue, the least material, literally the wash of the belly. This artist submits to that description. To use the term as a name for his artistic endeavours is an appropriation, and a cultural one at that, but as the hangman said on the scaffold to the murderer John Christie who was complaining of an itchy nose — “don’t worry, it won’t bother you for long!”
