Laura Marling, Swimming To Raise Money For Syrian Refugees and Leo Santos Shaw
Recent photo taken of dear friend Leo Santos Shaw, artist-designer, in Brighton’s dankest Swimming Club. Known by fans of singer-songwriter Laura Marling as the enigmatic swimmer in her pop video ‘Rambling Man’. Leo back then was then sporting a Bonnie Prince Billy-esque beard and moustache, though always looking uniquely LSS. What many don’t know is […]
No One Plays Bob Dylan Quite Like This
Seeing is believing. Photographed in Cambridge recently: a busker playing Dylan songs from INSIDE a litter bin. Maybe I should send it to the Guardian? I made a short dvd of him playing ….in between hundreds of Japanese tourists giggling at him.
A Pictionary Delivery
A van that passed me as I pulled up to a roundabout off the M25. Take a look at the map logo. Either the designer is either a huge fan of Alexander ‘Accidentally On Purpose’ Cozens, the genius 18th Century artist who invented a blot technique for painting landscapes, or else influenced by the economical ‘Pictionary’ […]
Welsh Artist OfThe Year 2012, Cardiff
St. David’s Hall, Cardiff. A very good show this year I thought, best one I’ve seen in years. My ‘In Search Of Iolo Morgannwg’ (above) was in very good company. Well established names mixing with fresh, unfamiliar ones. The worthy winner was a video by Gemma Copp. At a time when galleries are lined with […]
Norfolk Wit

The view [the most Dennis The Menace of wide uninterrupted views, the wind blowing a gale off the North Sea) […]

Lear’s Luminous Dong Noses
Saturday afternoons have had a special fascination for me since my teens when after a game of football on a flattened out coal tip in the freezing rain I used to catch the Nantymoel and Garw buses back to Bridgend (or from Indian Country to Civilization as they cruelly called it back then). Art student […]
A Dream Come True : …Midsomer Murders
Last Sunday at the end of a long hot and sweaty day in my studio….I collapsed in front of the tv with a glass of chilled wine and was delighted to read in the paper that Midsomer Murders had just started. I have always been fascinated by Soaps, Prisoner Cell Block H a choice de […]
