Beware the Portfolio Police. “Nudity breaches the conditions set by the website platform provider” … according to a warning sent to me (well, everyone) today by ArtReview. What impact this will have on the showing of life drawing I wonder? […]

The paintings were collected today by Aardvark, I rock and so do lots of other helpful people! It was a late one in my studio and I had to wear my favourite socks, but all is well. Impressed with my […]
So, two weeks into the job, one week of sheer meltdown during a heatwave with temperatures nearing 40 degrees. Now it’s more reasonable for early September I can at least think, if slowly. I have been back to the Giardini […]
