Moleskine Pages- Language

His pathetic need always made me feel slightly sick. A sweaty red face announced his intentions...just another language I'd picked up without ever meaning to. My pretending not to understand made him work harder and made me smile.

Sketchbook pages- Thinking Of The Good Times

I finished this a few minutes ago. I have an idea of what it means but my mind is still digesting it. Feel free to make your own interpretations.

Moleskine Pages- Mother May I

They are the woods where men lift up your skirts and take down your pants even though you are crying 'mother may I?'

Sketchbook 'Unresolved' work

        A few more pages of my rough' sketch book where I work out drawings, record ideas and generally vomit up the unresolved stuff.

I seem to enjoy the therapy of collage more and more these days. The challenge of sorting through boxes of collected material for just the right piece is very relaxing. The images I use have to be found from magazines, old books, charity shops anywhere really. But never generated for the purpose that is my one sacred rule, it would make the process too easy and deny me the thrill of the chase.

Moleskine Pages- The Elephant In The Room

He said he'd never been in love; that lust was as far as he'd got. She said she despised men like him but didn't move away. He checked out her menu but opted for a takeaway on the way home. She'd worn her lucky knickers for nothing. He missed out.

Moleskine Pages- His Weight

Even the most extraordinary events become mundane through constant exposure. Our minds are programmed to accept matters and over time we becomes numb and inured. I don't think this needs any further explanation.

Moleskine Pages - We Are All In This Together

I don't often deal with political themes but when something matters as much as this does I feel compelled to express it. The way this Conservative government are destroying people's lives, people without money, power and hence no voice is shocking. With no mandate they are taking us back to a Dickensian dystopia where poverty and disability are seen as a moral failing. Where not having a job because of this desperate economic climate is  criminal . This toxic regime has divided the country with help from an obedient, unquestioning press. I haven't felt this angry for years.

Moleskine Pages - Winter

She cuckolded him with any willing, warm blooded being around. He was proud of having a wife that others wanted. He liked feeling envied.

Moleskine Pages - Blackmail

The meat had the colour and texture of a flesh wound. They still tucked in greedily and soaked up the blood with bread rolls.

RCA Secrets Postcard No 1

This is part of my annual contribution to the Royal College of Art Secrets Exhibition which raises money for students. The cards are displayed anonymously and the buyer only finds out the identity of the artist after he has paid for it. The price is a flat rate of £45 per postcard and a limit of 4 postcards per buyer. I would love to hear from whoever bought my cards, and I hope they are not too disappointed that they weren't by an internationally known name !

Moleskine Pages - A Sordid Spectacle

'I knew life grew out of my tree and into my womb. Branches cradled my longing, while birds sang the purple blues and sold tickets for the sordid spectacle.'
