My painting ‘Not A Stag Party’ is currently on show at the Backlit Studios alongside work by studio members and associates. The blurb advertises the show as a members exhibition so you can imagine the confusion when my name was […]
Our degree show is still open for public view for a few days, We are very lucky that we get the opportunity to display our work in a public art gallery which is a chance to get our work seen […]
Continued from previous post “Clothes Maketh The Man 2” – Stitched drawing. This machine drawing started life as an experiment for my sketch book when I had a spare hour. I wanted to do a visual response to my suit […]

I have always been kind of awed reading about artists who read philosophy. It seemed so very intellectual, so ‘New York’, so removed from my own experiences. Now I’m an artist reading philosophy and it’s not so impressive. It strikes […]
Last night I had a late realisation that I actually have a lot of work to do whilst I am here. This has been slow to dawn on me, but shouldn’t really come as a surprise as fairly typically I […]

Self imposed exile in the library over the past month. Writing essay and continual rewrites. Feels almost there, I think. Spent too long looking at it and need some time out. Change of exhibition plans: using smaller scale prints of […]
Work has been hardsince pulse no active goal in sight has dwindled my artistic flame. Adding to this pulling my back doing bronson workout hasnt helped. My tasks to think about this week are where do i want my work […]
Forgot to mention in yesterday’s post one of the most remarkable features of the day. I managed to get through airport security with 7 kilos of plasticene without anyone raising an eyelid (is that a phrase or have I just […]
