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 inexplicably picked up a spraycan and started painting weird fanged vampire bunnies everywhere.

PE is now launching his vision of darkness on an unsuspecting world, trying to look at the BIG PICTURE... asking the tricky questions like :


'what does evil look like?'


'why do humans seem to like conflict and explosions so much?'


'are penguins naturally psychopathic and can they use nunchakus effectively?'


'is earth actually a deep space battle station created millions of years ago by an evil galactic empire?'
