On a Bus
I’m on a bus. The bus is travelling along Old Kent Road in South London. It is a flawless January day and the lazy, mid-afternoon sunshine is streaming into the bus from the left hand side. The people around me are talking in other languages on mobile phones, staring ahead into their own lives, rocking like bouys as the bus manoeuvres blearily through the currents of traffic. Another bus,...

11/1/11
Today’s date is a palindrome. This is the first time in over 900 years that this has occurred.
I didn’t do very much artwork today; well, I did, but I just worked more on the paintings that I’ve been working on for the past two days and I don’t think anyone’s really interested in seeing them again, although they have been slightly altered - maybe I’ll post...

Things I've Done Today - 9/1/11
I mentioned in one of my posts yesterday that I’m going to begin posting some or all of the artwork, writing and photography that I do each day; something like a diary of my production. So, now it’s happening.
The past week or so I’ve been watching the Series One box set of the programme ‘The Twilight Zone’. I’ve never been very interested in Science Fiction,...

Recent Artwork
Here are some of the pieces of artwork I’ve done in the past month or two.
I started using charcoal for the first time, I enjoy using it because you can make pictures extremely quickly:
Those of you who are fans of the classic British comedy ‘Fawlty Towers’, may be interested to know that this next picture is my imagining of the portrait drawn by the character Polly, of...
Back.
I’ve been away for quite awhile. Now I’m back
In 2011 I want to post, everyday, a photograph or short film, a piece of writing and a piece of artwork, that I have produced on that day. I don’t think that it will be too difficult to produce the work, but the problems may occur by way of my internet connection, which is a fickle cyber-mistress. Due to the fact that on many days I...
