1 y separately published work icon Art Wars Paul Adkin , Madrid : Ñubooks , 2014 9369934 2014 single work novel

'Placenta is the signature of an enormously talented street artist whose real identity is a closely kept secret. Or at least until an enormously wealthy commercial artist takes it upon himself to call Placenta’s work his own.

'Art Wars is a dark tale dealing with the relationship between art and the market place; between art and ideology; between authentic creation and the mass production of kitsch.'

1 y separately published work icon Hamlet Rex Paul Adkin , Madrid : Ñubooks , 2012 9370139 2012 single work drama

'Hamlet Rex is a dark, black comedy - black and absurd. It digs into the idea of tragedy and destiny. Why do we commit the same mistakes over and over again? Why can't we leave the vicious circle that humanity seems to be destined to endure? And... who or what is controlling this tragedy?

'The Hamlet family (Hamlet junior, his mother Gertrudie and his uncle Claudius) being trapped in time by Shakespeare, have now arrived at the XXI century. They are depressed and dull characters who desperately want to preserve their own super-star status in the new information and consumer age. Now the royal family are a family of artists. Hamlet wants to be an actor, like his mother, he's going to perform in Oedipus Rex and he's got the main part. The tragedy is guaranteed.'
