Hughes, Richard Hughes

Last night I met up with Richard at the Oxford and I'm frustrated that this blogspot template I've chosen seems determined to deny me the ability to put up the portrait of me that he created, so I thought I should randomly pop up his artwork again.
We worked together on so many great things that appeared in the Sydney Star Observer, plus he did all those Sleaze posters among sundry other Big Gay Things that people forget about - that cute little ACON icon protecting his crotch that you might have pissed on is his, by the way.
The total absence of illustration or cartooning - his or any others - in the gay papers these days is a disappointment, to say the least. A glossy disembodied torso that is the basis of almost every ad for a gay event seems to sum up a market starved of ideas.
Just saying...

Richard Hughes isn't very good is he? Where is the cracked skin, huge lesions, greasy hair, pursed lips, sunken cheeks, bitter scowl etc?????

You're unaccountably nasty, and possibly mistaking me for someone else entirely.
In any case, do keep coming back, RW. Even better, tell everyone your name.
Of course, you don't have the balls.

I'm sorry I've been nasty to you. I won't post here anymore. I've been having lots of trouble with substance abuse and when I'm out if it have said terrible things. Please forgive me - I won't post on here again. I've been thinking about you a lot lately and remembering the times we had. If you want, get in touch.
