Vendetta
Your vendetta travels with you; caught up in your spellI dance to the beat of your drum. It is not my drum.I try to give it back but you won’t take it!I can’t play this drum,for the skin is smeared with blood you are waiting to spill. Travel has a way of making you see…

Feeling kinda sticky…
Well we’re still here. I’ve been so busy that I’ve not done an awful lot of art recently so I’ve not got much to show, except my trusty stick figures are, well, sticking around! Here’s today’s offering. 🤗 Is it even possible? Is it a myth that we can truly hold this thing together when…

The mountains I had to climb make it back into the studio…
I began this new piece, which was originally drafted in charcoal on 15th August 2022, my 50th birthday! I know right!? I like to start a new work on my birthday and at Christmas; Solstices and Equinoxes may also be used as an excuse to do this. Why I think I still need an excuse…

Analyze This! Making Something Outta Nothing…
I self medicate with art, sleep, tears and acceptance… p.t. Not a lot to show this week, though I have been writing quite a bit. I’ve been depressed, hence why black & white feels appropriate. Depression is a weird thing. I’ve struggled with it my whole life. I think, because I overthink, therefore I’m busy…

As a Matter of Fact…it’s all about Fiction; NEW paintings!
My latest offerings are painted in acrylic on loose canvas. I was responding to the crazy alien times in which we find ourselves. Surreal, virtual, dystopian…and curiously flat!! (Sugar comedown!?) Like a candy-counter culture we are drowning in a multicoloured haze of compartmentalized rabbit holes through which we tumble into the arms of another crazy…

LARGE Abstractions: In The Pink!
I’m loving my new abstract piece. The charcoal and matte varnish give it something delightfully scruffy. I’m pretty scruffy today and I don’t even care! Until I want to look smart! Art is like that. Sometimes scruffy, sometimes smart. Sometimes naked and too damn clever for its own good. I aim for exciting and unpredictable.…

Social Distance?
We are so close to our essential nature when we touch. Look how important it becomes when our essentialism is threatened. Appreciate your togetherness lest you are torn from the fabric of life. At that special time, be well with your personal space!

Tectonic Shift
I’m literally running out of colours as I run down and exhaust my paint supplies. However, I have lots of black. Haven’t we all? Love black! 😍 Why I’ve not worked in monochrome before baffles me?! I love it! Simple with just a blush of cadmium orange. Nice! 😁 Simple is hard to achieve, but…
