Reading and thinking: I am nearly half way through Errol Norris “Believing is Seeing”. Very interesting if slightly obsessive exploration of documentary photography, perceptions of truth and thruthfulnes, photographers intent and our willingness to read photography as evidence. For my […]
I’ve just been for a bit of a boxing day walk with my son. Walking clears the mind, takes away distractions, aids digestion, takes you on conversational flights of fancy that really helps to make sense of the world. We […]

Oh ye gods, it’s Christmas the day after tomorrow. Actually, looking at the clock, I realise it’s Christmas tomorrow. Spent the day rushing from one place to another trying to organise Xmas presents. I keep this kind of thing to […]
Yes!! It’s happened! It’s all over bar the documentation … after Xmas life will be back to normal: The children no longer have to squash into bed between a fire sculpture on one side and a box of fuses, explosive […]
Well now. Christmas table laid and presents wrapped and feeling quiet smug. Kids returning on planes and trains tomorrow night and I can’t wait. I love Christmas and our very old beamed house lends itself to it. Deep red and […]
I have been getting small work done in my sketchbook. I have signed up for South East Open Studios next year (good for local marketing and networking as well as sales). Today I will be getting together my “art-kit” for […]

Not close enough. And the pen moves.

After the settling in period, I’ve started to get down to business. I haven’t done so much as put pencil to sketchbook, but after failing to dent some of the dryer tomes I brought with me, I’ve finished one of […]
Blind self portrait life drawing Elena suggested I should try the blind drawing technique to draw my body. I had to warm my hands up first. First off, it’s difficult and I have to concede the technique requires some practice. […]
Yes its been a while – so what of it and what of us now? Richard: “What’s that about a coffee table?” The first meeting after the talk: The return of my work: “By now I will be working on […]
All of us at a-n wish you an *animated* festive season.
