Hi thought I'd share my two little Adam Neate curios with you. These were done way before he went all 'prince' and changed his name to a symbol 
I was mates with Adam when he was kicking his heels around the west midlands in the 90's, before he moved (back) to London. The first picture is a doodle I found in his room and asked him to add the name of my fanzine to, so it became the front cover of the first issue of Catatonic Blues.

The second has a slightly more interesting story. It is called 'none shall pass' and was a commission for a collected volume I was trying to put together. That never came out but the picture was eventually used as the cover for a pirate press off print I put out of Valarie Solanas' SCUM Manifesto. So there you go, Adam Neate supports radical feminism! Well actually that's not true, I don't think he ever knew what I did with this one, but there you go.

Anyway, just thought I'd share. You can see how crazy his skill level was even back then, when he was a skinny little indie kid who made every one laugh.
Hope you enjoy
