Molly Parkin by Trademark |
It's the work of artist Trademark aka Mark Wardel. His other celebrity subjects include Kylie Minogue (who commissioned a series of portraits for her Showgirl Homecoming Tour), Divine, Grace Jones, David Bowie and Boy George (who describes Trademark as a modern-day Warhol).
And Kanye West and Naomi Campbell are among star collectors of his artwork.
Of the Moll unveiling, Trademark tells me: 'The event is being filmed as part of the BBC4 profile which has followed the process of myself painting this portrait of your fiancee.'
I would affectionately title her Nefertiti-like portrait: Moll: Murder By Maquillage. The purple lips are sealed - for today she will spare you a sharp retort - while the black eye greasepaint is a promise of risky drama, lovingly applied. This face is trouble.

PS to Trademark: Think about Judge Judy. Turn this hideous virago and persecutor of the fat, blue-collared litigant into a drag queen. She is the most dangerous woman in America. She is also thin. And cruel.

Dont mention Judge Judy in the same article as that has been old hag 'dear' Molly.
One entertains millions, while the other is a hag for her aristicaly minded hangers on/care givers.
You sound slightly medicated, poppet. 'Aristicaly'? Sounds like a Tramadol overdose.
Judge Judy is a vicious over-paid cunt. I shall be dealing with this bag of bones later.
Sublime visual, Madame.
It's fabulous! xx
Is her neck that long? Looks like a giraffe.
Thank you Christina. A woman of taste. And discernment. x
Trademark's work originated from the old gay venue Trade in Vauxhall where Mark (well) hung out. You couldn't get past the queens at the doors without the right atty-tood. They'd have laid the red carpet out for you Madame.
Come live in Baltimore!!!!
