Hi honey is one of the more complex of my images so far. Using three monochrome photographic negatives shot years ago, two original drawings, digital over-painting and much more, this fantasy montage might have origins in post-feminist culture. It has echoes of the wife's role in the 1950s; the theme title was prompted by the 50s' American sitcom parodied in Gary Ross's 1998 movie Pleasantville as was the mix of black'n'white and colour. However the make-up is from the 60s and the boots part of the staple diet of all serious boot'n'shoe fanatics. Reference is also made to the comic strip format.
