A BBC article about absurd abstract art reminded me of some old PC Zone cover disk movies done about a character called 'Culky'. In one of the movies Culky, paints a crap picture of his mum and then tries to sell it in a park in London.

Bizarrely a search for Culky's Mum (of which the abstract art was of) pulled up a page for the PC Zone employee responsible for Culky - which contained photographs of excerpts from the videos.

See:

Ol' Culkus here, isn't it

The most memorable thing about the videos was the bizarre use of the words 'isn't it' at the end of sentences by Culky in a nonsensical manner - rather than in context.. (Note this was many many years before the recent swathe of Ali G followers did the same with 'innit')

The actor/author of the Culky stuff - David McCandless has a blog too:
