Paul Conneally On your way out chuck me an idea or two… Dave Beech This is a comment, which is fine, but isn’t it anti-dialogue or ant-intellectual? Or is it more specific – anti-leftwing? Paul Conneally Hi Dave – the […]
At the moment I am reading Drawing by Philip Rawson. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone interested in drawing – he is great on blots, and lines and the way how something is drawn impacts on its meaning. He […]
We are coming towards the end of the residency now. Two more public events and a workshop to go! First up is the Big Draw on 2 October. Our theme this year is ‘Seeing Stars’. A user-friendly introduction to a […]
Emergency bed-in tour I have had the predictable dip, mentally pulling the work apart but no time for procrastination as I need to focus on new work for upcoming events. I was pleased to be asked to put in a […]
Up at 6am, pick Briaan up at 7.15 and we are at the Cash and Carry, which coincidentally isn’t where we thought it was, by 8am. I walk in through the sliding doors brandishing g39’s Cash and Carry members card. […]
I’m not sure of the presence of any sense in this. Each time I try to write about something I start with confidence and descend into uncertainty. Like this drawing thing which is around at the moment. Musing around with […]
Continued… Next stop City Road, Roath to pick up Gillian, Cerbyd’s driver and Briaan’s sister. We arrive at Charter Van Hire and within the half-hour, drive away in our 17 seater companion for the coming eight days. Fresh from some […]
The second section is well under way now. This is just as well as it is being installed for the Big Draw in less than a months time and I have to be back at Middlesex University to resume my […]
This is the first piece of work I made after finishing studying at Camberwell College of Art. The work was made for a group show of graduate, at the Former Alliance Gallery, Peckham, London.
I have read several references lately to artists who surround their work with complicated language to puff-up simple ideas attempting to make their work and themselves look more clever than they are, (to paraphrase Dan Thompson describing the clarity of […]

first day of setting up has gone quite well. The ‘Forest: lungs of the World’ is done, but ‘Illegal Logging’ can’t be put out yet because i need to paint a plinth and ‘Pores for Thought’ can’t because Carl needs […]
My lovely camera has gone funny. I jinxed it. Last night I sat and distinctly thought – that camera the ACE grant paid for has been the most valuable contribution to my career (I’m going to change that word to […]
It the first time my local town in association with local businesses to promote art around Basildon. I continue to develop my printmaking DNA abstract ideas. I carried out research into DNA and took over 2 months of planning. I […]
27th September, 2010. I have started on another painting; I will be painting alongside the carnival clowns. It is also on canvas and will be in oils. I have taken my painting more into the abstract. Relying on the colours […]
massive quandries abound. 1. do we go for it with signing the lease on a space WITH NO HEATING. do we do an all inclusive rental for artists using the space to accommodate the heating costs. do we supply gas […]
Firenze is now my home. With the exhaustion of travel and the stress of finding an apartment behind me I have began to draw again. Perhaps influenced by all the Renaissance art that clutters Firenze’s streets ( you name it, […]
Made some cane last week in pink, red and white, (candy colours!) cut a small amount of them today and heated in the pick-up kiln. I picked them up on a solid rod of molten clear glass, which was interesting […]
I had a meeting at Fineshade Woods today and we have decided to slightly move the location of the circle. I feel much happier about this as it will show the illuminations both day and night. The new location is […]

Tonight, I attended a talk by a local on “Art, Reality, Photography and the Human Mind.” The title, I’m sure you’ll agree, is intriguing and I was expecting an enlightening or at least eye opening John Berger derived presentation projecting […]
Some of my projects are months in the making. Some just launch without thought. My recent Twitter project (#ADailySelfReflection -a self-portrait every day) is certainly a case of jumping before looking, but I am following instinct as a means to […]
