Spray away

Thought I'd put a professional edge on this painting for the RA, satin finnish is rubbish though you can't even tell, and it cost me 12 quid! Back to the art shop!

Summer Exhibition

Yes I've fell into the trap again, I just felt drawn to putting a piece forward to the Royal Academy, I know it's a lottery, I've only ever put one in before, anyway fingers crossed my "No Thanks" painting will go through!

Ladies Day

Today is international Women's day 100th anniversary, so it became Sherry Tuesday, also we had a little celebration for one of the artists birthday, you know who you are!

A painting I'm working on!

Sunday

Glyn Hughes book launch at the Artsmill in Hebden Bridge.  Glyn read some of his poems from his new book "A Year in The Bull Box", it was great to finally meet Glyn as I've been in contact via e.mail for some time now, but due to his illness he's never made it to the Mill, we've now made a date and Glyn and his partner will come visit me and join me for soup!

Weekend Previews

Friday night was the privet view of Colombian artist Oscar Munoz at the Cornerhouse in Manchester,his work explores universal themes of memory and human loss, it was a very exciting little show of his work, Helen and I couldn't get over the use of Coal dust in"Biografias".

Jim's Acoustic Cafe

A few of the artists went to Jim's last night, for a super Veggie burger and some splendid music, pipes were out as we watched "Cordial" start off the night!

Me and Jim

The Block

I'm doing a commission, the commission hasn't to have a face, well you know that's the whole thing for me, faces, it's my starting point! So you can imagine the flow of this week can't you, the picture says it all. So what do artists do when they hit this boring block.... yes cut hair!

Bored bored cut own hair

Cut your fringe off! Nothing else to report!
