Urban Art by Phlegm

Phlegm is a a urban/comic artist based in Sheffield, UK. “The name phlegm came from one of the four bodily humours in ancient Greek medicine, blood, yellow bile, black bile and phlegm. Phlegm was believed to be responsible for an apathetic and unemotional temperament.”
His comic, also titled “Phlegm”, contains his pen and ink illustrations, cartoons, and spraypaint work found in the streets. “The work is intricate, often surreal, but most of the time it looks like a mad person has been locked in a room for years with no company but a bottle of Indian ink and a scratchy nib….because that’s precisely what it is.”

Phlegm produces an issue of “Phlegm” every four months or so depending on what other projects he’s working on. The comic started in June 2005 and sells all all over the UK as well as in Germany, California, Australia, Japan, and online.

Phlegm…

I make small press comics and i paint on walls.

The name phlegm came from one of the four bodily humours in ancient Greek medicine, blood, yellow bile, black bile and phlegm. Phlegm was believed to be responsible for an apathetic and unemotional temperament.

The comic’s ethos has always been to give a moments relief from everyday drudgery and apathy, and give you something to think about.

I produce an issue of phlegm every four months or so depending on what other projects i’m working on. The comic started in june 2005. Now the comic has a print run of over two thousand, and is sold all over the UK in a variety of outlets. At the time of writing this the comic is also being sold in Germany, California, Australia and Japan, plus it’s sold online via paypal on this website.

The comic contains my pen and ink illustrations, cartoons, and spraypaint work found in the streets. The work is intricate, often surreal, but most of the time it looks like a mad person has been locked in a room for years with no company but a bottle of Indian ink and a scratchy nib….because that’s precisely what it is.
