I was enjoying the deluge here in London, but it did go on far for too long!
Drawing and painting
Editing novel and writing lyrics
Crouch down
bent double
over the counter
blunt force trauma
fill the empty interior
shut me up,
shut me down
manage the beast
stop the hysteria,
work for the tongue
roughly speaking
worship and adore
under the weather,
Come in my eye
post traumatic stress disorder
Let me go
out patient
I can suck at it myself
taste the meat
feel the heat…
Organising next Dalston Ballet show
Still vegan: Chocolate Tart perfected. Next Tiffin.
Doing air bnb
Loved Alien Covenant
… and in love with this tile
Still decorating the new house
and off to venice with Ariella and Qila.
AND rejections. But we don’t about that!

Art! What are you saying?
May 30, 2017Questions
What are you saying? What are you doing? Is it a photo shoot?
Is it a video portrait? Is it a screen test? Is it simulacra?
Is it surface? Is it depth? Is it dance? Is it symbolic?
Is it reality? Is it fashion? Is it production values?
Is it mime? Who is performing? Is it voyeuristic?
Who’s playing who? Is it a pathological? Is it exquisite?
Is it for the hell of it? Is it decoration?
Is it exploitation? Is it a bad pun? Is it exhibitionist?
Is it movement, colour, sound? Is it fascination?
Is it conceptual? Is it bogus? Is it a love story?
Where am !? Who is Ze? It’s not personal?
Is it?
What the f*^% happened to me! Hackney Wick!

Pruning roses, making vegetable stock, building structures with bamboo ! Whaaaaat?

Recently i had to move, and ended up with a little house in hackney wick. It has a garden, parking and a spare room. My mother designed the garden 10 years ago. Its real pretty with Japanese maples, roses and a cute Summer house / cabin.
It is not a shed!
However, i can not for the life of me find a housemate! And i can’t afford not to have one. My friend MD suggested Airbnb, and Wow! It’s all gone amazingly well.
Three were booked for my spare room. 4 turned up. The summer house became a beautiful cabin with double bed, shelves and storage.
It is not a shed.
Everyone was happy, i think!
Now i rent out the spare room and the cabin to some really lovely people. All are allowed free roam of the main house of course.
All the doors in the road are black. I had to go pink!
That’s the garden and cabin, which is now also pink.
Feels like my financial woes are over. For now. In getting the house ready for guests, i have become addicted to Amazon Prime.
First it was important things i needed immediately. Mattresses, quilts, antique indian bowls… they would arrive the next day.
Now it’s lampshades handmade from kimono silk, lace effect waterproof table cloths, jewel like drawer handles, cherub sculptures… !
Vegan Update:
Yes i am still vegan, although there was an incident with a slab of mature cheddar and an anchovy!
Off to my favourite city Venice in two weeks, with two amazing new friends from the Dalston Ballet crew. Gonna check out the biennale, do a bit of dancing and filming, and drink Campari from dawn til dusk! Heaven.
This is from a recent performance with the lovely qila and ariella, those friends i mentioned!

There was something else… Oh yes. For the first time in 2 months i’m back to writing and painting.
New song for Dalston Ballet coming soon!
Exhibition of portraits also coming soon…

The Chanteuse
Wandering star
I never talk about my bad traits
glamour from a Gilda age
jewel personalities,
London calling
mix and match of the day
beyond the beach
Switzerland without skis
the demolition man
unsteady odyssey
street of shame
human capital
every breath you take defensive
behaviour odd to ominous
not just another maestro
an artist finds his groove
folk of ages
avant-garde explosion
pay up, pay up and play the game
let the field of the mind fall fallow
please hang up and try again.

The character of the heads of the so called kings and queens… #arthistory #chartres
May 4, 2017
‘… These heads seem to me to show a new stage in the ascent of western man[kind]. Indeed I believe that this refinement, this look of selfless detachment, and spirituality is something entirely new in art. Beside them the Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece look arrogant, soulless, even slightly brutal.
‘I fancy that the faces that look out at us from the past are, perhaps, the surest indication we have of the meaning of an epoch.’
And the faces on the westside of Chartres Cathedral are amongst the most sincere and the most aristocratic that western Europe has ever produced.’
