Mr Bucket was mentioned in the Arts pages of the AGE yesterday.
He was part of a review of the artists market where SO sells his Bucket wares: Subversive artists blooming in Rose street, by Robert Nelson. Boo to the mean editors at the AGE who didn’t put the article on line.
SO’s paragraph reads:
Some pieces lie on the side of farce, as with Mr Bucket, a range of clothing that features a suited man, perhaps from the 1950s, with a bucket over his head. Gathering an apparently heroic reputation, the character is the archetype of the corporate automaton, his head an empty vessel without the faculties of sense or communication.
Crikey.

I saw it.
I heart Mr Bucket.
I never realised, though, that he is so deep.
a suit is subversive?
I had assumed the bucket repels evil waves from mobile phones n stuff, and that Mr Bucket was v. clever
Let us hope the article results in massive trading at the next market.
Heh… maybe it it’s subverting the suit… or, wait, we need the SPS (Special Postmodernist Service) to explain that one…
