To understand a bit
about Pure Evil it is illuminating to know that he is a descendant of Sir Thomas
More, the Lord Chancellor who wrote the controversial work Utopia and who was
later beheaded by King Henry VIII. With this busy background (Sir Thomas was
later canonised) it is only natural that Pure Evil should explore the darker
side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams and the myth of the Apocalypse, a belief
in the life-changing event that brings history with all its conflicts to an
end.
In 1990 PURE EVIL left the Poll Tax Riots of London behind and went to live
in California where he spent 10 years ingesting weapons grade psychedelics ,
thinking about stuff , making electronic music and printing t-shirts . Inspired
by skateboard culture and the west coast character graffiti of Twist he returned
to London and picked up a spraycan and started painting weird fanged vampire
bunnies everywhere
