Here’s an interview I did with Ros Miles at Oxford Art Cat.
She phoned my up and asked me questions, and I answered to the best of my ability.
And here’s a review she wrote of my for one evening only show at the Project Room (Thank you Emma Titcombe) in Oxford.
I think she’s been pretty generous in her praise of my work, so thank you Ros.
And here’s a big hello to my friend Amy Waters, who just listed a leather jacket on Ebay for me because I didn’t have any fucking clue how to do it.
"Fine. I’ll be nice to you.
But I don’t think you’ll like it.”
This is the kind of thing I hear some days.
Only from some can I take it.
Today the bad wolf dined.
He dined on the filthy language and vengeful intent with which I filled this drawing-swine and fuck and cunt and oink and fuck head directed at those I feel have slighted me.
That naughty wolf dined so well that hopefully he will be too fat to feast for a while.
He might be dining because, though it’s informative and entertaining, I’ve gone back to listening to On Point and it doesn’t have that good-vibe-change-the world-for-the-better feel that TED.com has.
However, I feel the bad wolf dines primarily because of the messy way things ended up in Australia around my mother’s recent death.
I’m trying to resolve my ‘issues’ by drawing them.
Fuck knows if it will work.
Today’s good thing was a surprise visit from Amy Waters.
She has a studio here but doesn’t get in often because of her minimum wage paying job.
Today she told me of her trip to Cornwall where she jumped of cliffs and lived in a caravan with 7 artists for a week.
As she left her brain must have been muddled by the chlorine from the pool where she works and she called out ‘NICE’ instead of bye and we all laughed.

This drawing had the working title of ‘You, My Friend, Are a 4 Letter Word and it is Not LOVE’.
However, I’ve had a midstream name change and decided on ‘I Can Say Anything I Want Because It’s Art’.
