0 0 7 : a couple
of rubber doll t-shirts
by subterraneans in osaka
- i wonder who'll be wearing the penis
pixie design out in public? -
4800 yen the price for attracting undue
attention to yourself!
3 0 - m a y - 2 0 0 7 : not
too sure if i should really mention this...? - but
my work used to decorate the drum kit of visual kei
j-rock band lolita23 - probably a
big mistake? - for me and for them! : )

typical trevor brown bad luck - all email sent
to my hotmail address between
19 to 25 may has suddenly become blank! - empty
messege boxes and no reply address - 41 letters
lost, mostly people wanting to join my mailing
list - nice to know you can always rely on microsoft
to destroy your data - msn hotmail support:
"...Please be guided
that the problem that you have described is
a known, unresolved problem with this product.
Our product development team is aware of the
problem, and they working to resolve it for
a future release. We do not know exactly when
the problem will be resolved..."
...hmmm, obviously the problem will remain unresolved
- if you wrote to me during that period and
your letter important please write again

: a few more details
re the babies book - i'm now
planning on producing this as a deluxe boxed
set including one original drawing from the
book and maybe a set of three badges (?) - selling
price likely to be $100 (?) - possibly ready
for sale in july (?) - those interested are
advised to join my mailing
list and i'll send out a newsletter with
advance secret information on how to order a
copy - half
the 100 copies will be reserved for the taco
che bookstore
1 0 - m a y - 2 0 0 7 : birth
of the babies book now in sight!
- this is something i've been working on slowly over
the past year or two - it includes over 100 coloured
line drawings of freak babies and 20 small oil paintings
of freak toys - contentious and cute! - originally
conceived as volume nine of my mania
artist book series - then there was a possibility
of it being published as a 'proper' book in france
- but that publisher now (understandably) concerned
about the book's lack of commercial potential and
difficulty of distribution - so it's gone back to
being a self-produced book (objet d'art!) which i'm
actually quite happy about and think is best - i'm
hand-making 100 copies, digitally printed on vanilla
(beige ivory?) coloured card - 58 pages, A5 size -
an exhibition is being planned at the taco
che bookstore here in tokyo at the end
of august ...

babyart home page blocks updated
0 4 - m a y - 2 0 0 7
: a kind visitor has
supplied me with some photos of my zurich mini-expo
- i must admit these made me smile - my perverted
and dirty paintings and books interspersed with
trendy toys in such a spotlessly clean, tidy,
light and airy store scattered with white transparent
balloons - as a bonus there's two older airbrush
paintings also on show incidentally

2 - m a y - 2 0 0 7 : condoms
finally arrive after nearly a month in the post - global
priority mail sucks bigtime
0 2 - m a y - 2 0 0 7
: a
new menu item introduced to the web site: latest
work (!) - as you might guess,
this is to show off the latest treasure or travesty
from trevor's drawing board - the page will
be irregularly updated (needless to say?) depending
on how fast or slow i am getting anything new
done - and
works shown will not be archived on the site
- here today, gone tomorrow!

0 7 : recently did a
longish and sort of 'exclusive' (mandatory?)
interview with sloan freer which'll be edited
and split up between a couple of magazines in
the uk - the rubber doll related
stuff will be published in bizarre
magazine - and the rest of the contentious slaughtering
of sacred cows going to nude
magazine probably - a few people have asked
about a transcript of my gothic &
lolita bible interview but that was
so bad my wife rewrote it, sorry

5 - a p r i l - 2 0 0 7 : i've
been waiting on the postman every day for nearly a
month for 'my' trevor brown art condoms - no sign
of them ever arriving : ( ....but have unexpectedly
recieved a cute new design added to the 3rdware
trevor brown art pants collection

7 - a p r i l - 2 0 0 7 : the
baby art shop has now closed it's
doors and been deleted from the site
- as most of you will know, this is thanks to paypal
permanently 'limiting' my account (ie freezing and
closing it) due to my work being child pornography
apparently - i was refused any right to contend this
- alternative payment options proved too troublesome
and were mostly wasting my time (90% of people never
sending money) - the only item i am still selling
is the crash babies silkscreen portfolio:
a
gorgeous set of ten high quality silkscreen prints
in black portfolio - each print measures 28 x 36cm
- printed in several colours including dayglo and
silver - signed and numbered limited edition of only
160 - mailed fully protected and fully insured - price
including "express mail service" postage:
$500

1 - m a r c h - 2 0 0 7 : they've
taken endless months cumming but suddenly here they
are: trevor brown rubber doll condoms!
- the first in a new series of art condoms produced
by condomania (other designs feature
other "underground luminaries": coop, peter
bagge and winston smith) - i think very cute and very
cool - they cum in packs of 12, 60 and 144, costing
less than a dollar each - buy now! - have sex with
trevor brown!

5 - m a r c h - 2 0 0 7 : the
second rubber doll exhibition (the
osaka remix) is over - another eight paintings going
to new homes - the
rubber doll book is also doing very
well - and has invigorated sales of previous books
(in particular li'l miss sticky kiss which
everyone ignored before) - features in a couple of
big uk / usa magazines maybe forthcoming (depending,
as always, on whether editors and distributors etc
deem my work acceptable or not....)
