Layby: how some of the best art collections in the world have been made.
I have been working really hard, not sleeping well at night. It's fairly par for the course at this time of getting an exhibition mounted [yup, a private view opens in four weeks]. My head is whirring non-stop with ideas and to-do lists and I find it difficult to stop my bloody brain. I'm normally such a great sleeper, sigh.
On the other hand, man am I getting stuff done! It feels good to be focussed so intently, to feel like it's all going to come together in the end.

Start from where you are, written on my desk. 23 January 2018
Drew this on my desk this morning.
I'm about to start serious work on two projects I'm very nervous about. One's a commission, one's an exhibition. Both are going to push me to the limit, both are going to take me well out of my comfort zone.

I went to the most beautiful party last night. I lay on the floor on a cushion beside a kind man I didn't know, looking up at a grapevine-covered conservatory ceiling wound through with tiny lights, while listening to another man with a fairytale hat and a beautiful voice singing the kind of sad songs that make you feel lit up inside.

you me the sea tidal, 2017
I'm posting this image for my dear friend, M, who is having a tough time, and has been having a tough time for years now. I almost want to laugh when I think of the pressure she's under in her life. Because otherwise I'll cry.
M, her heart is so big. Being in her company you feel her kindness and generosity wrap right round you. She is also fiercely creative, with something strong and important to say. This woman she knows how to love, she knows how to be there for those she loves, no matter the cost to her self. She ain't rich. She ain't famous. But damn, she is fine.

Red string in a bow, December 2017
I've got a Xmas market coming up on Saturday and I've made some artwork for it which is quite good and, according to the schedule in my own head, I'm supposed to be spending this morning writing a cheery post so you'll come to the market and buy some stuff. But you know what I'm not feeling it.
