An unexpected visit to an unusual venue set off a few ripples on the surface of the Eternal Stream last week. I’d never explored the Coventry Museum of Transport before, and when I was dragged there by an enthusiastic friend from the Coventry Arts Collective, I wasn’t expecting anything more than a brisk nose around Read more

A recent addition to the north wall of Gallery 1, this one spent a long gestation as a page from a non-existent graphic novel. There was no narrative, just several lunges at atmosphere, and a few cryptic sentences like ” the stinkhorn speaks ” and ” it begins again “. Eventually sanity prevailed, and I Read more

A select group of high-flying A-Listers gathered here at the Alagram Gallery on Friday to marvel discreetly at the new work on every wall. Enthusiasm spread rapidly and the comments and questions were shrewd and friendly. The Three Marias- see Featured Image- drew a great deal of interest, as it did on the previous Friday’s Read more

Every morning, the man says! Well there might be a bit of unintentional forked tongueing going on there. You can’t get the staff, y’know. However, work continues feverishly with three major steps forward executed this very morning. AND it’s a Monday!

Things are moving along. The large mirror has been removed from Gallery 2 ( formerly known as the dining room ) to make space for two large new arrivals, The Khartoum Choral Society and Somebody Else’s Sunday Morning. These fresh new creations look spectacular under the spotlights, while the mirror is now reflecting sadly in Read more

We’re turning Chapel End into an Art Gallery to showcase my finest work in my humble home. Lighting is being installed… Artwork is being framed… Cats are being trained as bouncers…. Most of it is all happening! Come back every Monday to find out how I’m getting along and in the meantime…. And what about…

Come see my pinterest page. It’s a pre-website endeavour, a collection of images posted in the heat of the moment, hot off the presses, and a silent clamour for attention. I like looking at it myself. Often. It reminds me that I’m alive and actually doing something. No call yet from Gagosian or Saatchi, but Read more

Come along to see my work, part of a new group exhibition.
