I’ve been dipping back into the World According to Quentin Smirhes, and it’s a wonderful ride. Love this cover of Ivor Cutler’s ‘Yellow Fly’ and also Quentin’s Dream below is the stuff of 1970’s commercials…only the crumbliest flakiest Quentin, tastes like Quentin Never Tasted Before! Beautifully filmed as well….although in places more Dark and Lonely Water than Tales of the Riverbank…and is it just me but the ending shot gave me flashbacks of The Vanishing?
Ever wondered how those Picturebox titles were made? Now you know! SCRUB YR EYES!
(There is a hauntology crossover with Quentin, quick, Ghostbox, get him in a video!)
Also introducing Kenneth! Kenneth likes trim phones, Sweeney jackets and catalogue modelling. And seemingly saving kids from a life of grime:
Incidentally Kenneth looks like my old Computer Science teacher, who taught in Godalming, the home of Ghostbox. You see it all links up…
The hand, Ludwig is the real star though…also can I say NOSEYBONK?
(To break the fourth wall for a second, and to be totally transparent like that greenhouse, Quentin and Kenneth are my friend Sean from art school…Those who have delved into my old videos will have seen him usually making some sort of noise or wearing goggles.
Really glad to see him featured in the likes of The Fortean Times and yes, he’s a talented fucker who deserves to be a lot bigger).
