ICHAEL PAYSDEN, born near London, UK, began painting, writing and making music early on. His various areas of work, including paintings and automatic novels in images, the latter produced as hand-finished artists' books, all place an emphasis on sequences and the automatic stories that emerge, through them, from the unconscious mind. To this end, he often uses simplified line/colour recalling comic books and techniques such as decalcomania, as these allow images and ideas to flow more freely. He is, at present, based in northern Italy.
