Following on from the falling frogs, these are collaged birds cut from cartridge that was painted mostly black on the reverse and colourful on what I’d intended to be the front. There are seven different shapes along with some separate … Continue reading Black birds
Somewhere between beginning this painting and ‘seeing’ birds in it, there has been a Bank Holiday, Summer, a new PC with the challenge of Windows 11, a season that gives us winter between 6pm and 10am with summer in between, … Continue reading Sky, foliage, a pond
After a fashion. My year/level group, to whom I showed the latest iteration of the Frog Fall book and asked for thoughts about the cover, unanimously said the frogs needed to be hand-painted and not digitally rendered. It was hard … Continue reading Diamond Frog Day
No, America, don’t start packing your rifles and booking flights. For a start, we barely have a bus service, never mind an airport; and for a next, these are fluffy, woolly, bedtime buddies with no teeth. I’m a bit late getting this up on the wall due to knowing nothing about the charity trail until a couple of hours ago. Not art, though, is it?

The By-Any-Other-Name Virus Story With no idea how she got there, or in fact, how anyone could get there, Maggie concluded she was in an Art House film. Or she did later when it became possible to ask the question, when curiosity returned to help separate herself a little from the scene. Less a key player with no insight and more an observer looking through blurry perspex. Either way, the paint of the cupboard was drifting slowly downwards, picking up some of the blue and red of the person next to it. Tonally congruent, the pigment became dilute, going from … Continue reading The By-Any-Other-Name Virus Story
15th July, 2025. Probably along with many other communities, our village puts unused, grown-out-of, unwanted items out onto our driveways or walls for other people to take and a little while ago a small bear appeared on a wall down … Continue reading Ted Talk
Each of these is a greenscreen circle through which I can project videos and change them without changing the frame. The videos are all based on my own paintings. Audio is mine, made in Magix Music Maker. The images above … Continue reading Circles
