Press
Been doing a lot of press work lately for this gallery show i’m doing in 9 days. As always, i get a lot of similar questions which is a challenge to try and word the same answer differently each time. The thing that seems to a common theme in each interview is they ask ‘so whats next for you and art is the cure’ and i tell them that i want to be a cross between rolf harris, tony...
Today, poetry is my cure
How can we decipher between lies and love
Like telling the difference between swallows and doves
Up close it’s as clear as black and white

Judgment is clouded and vision is blurred
You find you rely on things that you heard
Words that were spoken will spin round your brain
Like trying to catch an invisible train
Finding a catalyst to make...
Finally
My 20 new canvases just arrived. I can start working on all the new artwork and turn my music back up to full blast while i rock some more stencils! Full steam ahead…

Later on I did my performance painting in the first interval, it sold and raised more money for the princes trust and then a woman from ITV came over and gave me her card saying she works for that new daybreak...
Tears Into Diamonds
Inspiration; the catalyst for life altering actions occurring. Turning pain into hope and suffering to beauty is a miracle on par with turning tears into diamonds. Humanity craves such infinitely impossible events and yet it is as common as rainfall in an English autumn. The transition of inspired to inspirational is dependant on a billion actions taking place prior to leading you to a situation...
Today...
So today has been pretty surreal but equally amazing. The laughs in the park event was freezing cold but the comedians were so good. I gave my talk and painted and it sold to an amazing couple. Now in an incredible hotel where eddie izzard, dylan moran and reggie g hunter are all staying at. Reggie checked in behind me and kim and dylan walked in looking for the bar. Me and kim have been able to...
