“What inspires you Daddy Papersurfer?â€
“Anything.â€
“Anything?â€
“Yes. Anything in real life, printed, on social media, anything that you can smell or touch or listen to – anything.â€
“Anything you can smell!!!?!â€
“Indeed although I’d rather keep those sources to myself.â€
“Thank you for that. Anyway, tell me about this painting.â€
“Well, it all started with a Google of marigolds, I was thinking plants, and blown up pictures of rubber gloves appeared. I liked these. My initial drawings put a marigold hanging from a trapeze. I don’t know why.â€
“Did you do a painting along these lines?â€
“No.â€
“Why not?â€
“I couldn’t be bothered.â€
“So why did you go down the route you did?â€
“No idea.â€Â
“What’s this painting called?â€
“Marigold, the aerial contortionist, performs in the Big Topper – ON ICE!â€
“That’s a very long title.â€
“Is it?â€
