I have a solo show coming up in November and I have been thinking about what I want to show. Sooner or later I think I will want to take Colin out of the ether and make the project manifest […]

Last night a bird flew into my window. It was some sort of dove or pigeon or something very like, I think, because it left a perfect greasy imprint of its body on the glass. One wing was outstretched in […]

Well, i’ve been shown up by a 12 year old. A very mature and intellegent one its true, but nonetheless… she managed to fold a totally different variation of Froebels form and it looks great. But in my defense its […]

Back home from a week in Cornwall, our first real proper, grown up holiday, – not the usual house sitting that we do for friends while they jet off somewhere nicer that they’ve actually paid for. All that time to […]

Rantblog: Just saw this posted by Art in Liverpool’s Ian Jackson on Facebook http://www.artinliverpool.com/blog/2009/08/topshop… Liverpool’s new topshop are looking for an artist to design and paint the walls in both Topshop and Topman. The store is going to be huge […]
