Official Story: Roadkill is a "tip-of-the-hat" to the only pet cat I had. The name should give away the cat's ultimate demise. Can't recall how old I was at the time but it must've been around ten-or-so. So even though, in life the cat was called "Tom", now in death I've characterised him as "Roadkill". Roadkill is a ,cantankerous, mesogenistic, argumentative blow-smoke-in-your-face kind of arsehole. But he draws nekkid girlies so he can't be all bad, right?

As an individual, death is a BIG full stop waiting to happen at some point in my life. I don't believe in an afterlife but like a million bucks, I wouldn't turn it down if it was offered to me! As such, I was keen to use a "disposable" character who could reflect this die-at-any-moment idiosyncrasy given the temporary nature of artistic projects and humans in general.

Roadkill is on "borrowed" time. Something that relates directly to me as art is a hobby of mine, in real-life I have a non-connected job and a family life. Drawing is time spent outside the "real" and squarely in the "fantasy".

Roadkill's time here is not because of his debating or communicative abilities or the lack of them, in fact! No, he's here because he draws and inks.

Long live Roadkill?

Like myself, a day at a time...
