Just around the corner to my house is a wall covered in crap graffiti.  Judge for yourself... From the first drawing of a cock to the most recent message of clichéd teenage rebellion, it all occurred within a short space of time (less than a year) and then suddenly stopped.  Nothing has changed on this wall for months.  The […]… Read more »

All purposes of art are equally valid and I don't call anyone a cheat regardless of whether they are doing it for cash, propaganda, popularity, self-counselling, preaching of a message, anthropology or a mixture of several.  I may choose to disassociate myself with them but I don't tell them what they're doing is wrong.  It's […]… Read more »

Just read a book on self portraits so I decided to do one.  Feels good to crack out the sketch book but why do I look so dark!… Read more »

Stub Footed Pigeon was an Art Exhibition with DJs, or if you prefer; a banging club night with Art.  Whichever stance you prefer to take it was a good night at the Perfect 5th, Taunton.  The £3 door tax went towards raising money for the Somerset College Fine Art degree show which will be held […]… Read more »

And many of YOU guys have helped me. Thanks to those […]… Read more »

After a hectic rush to finish my last sculpture, dismantle my desk, put my materials into storage and dump/send to recycling all the low value stuff I am now out.  The shared studio has ceased.   For the foreseeable future I will be working on projects that can be produced either on site or from […]… Read more »

I finally pinned down my good friend Jon and we worked all Thursday night to get the circuit finished for my interactive sculpture.  Jon is a very talented man but a bit scatty when it comes to organisation. But together we can get things done and here it is... done!  A simple little circuit with […]… Read more »

Last month I read an article in AN Magazine (Nov issue) that struck a chord with me. It was about art education, the subject I wrote my thesis on. I felt so inspired by the words I read (a grim but true account of current education) that I felt compelled to write to the magazine, […]… Read more »

My exit from this studio is imminent and I am not planning to rent another place. Concentrating on video work for the foreseeable future this last couple of months will see me making a conceited effort to run down my stock of materials, complete all the unfinished sculptures and prepare them for safe storage and […]… Read more »
