NOT EVERYONE LIKES MY WORK

It came as a shock to me that not everyone likes my work. My oldest companion, Grumpy Ted, viewed my painting, mooned it and then broke wind. Rude.

INTERVIEW WITH CHANNEL 5 ART’S CORRESPONDENT 

  “What inspires you Daddy Papersurfer?” “Anything.” “Anything?” “Yes. Anything in real life, printed, on social media, anything that you can smell or touch or listen to – anything.” “Anything you can smell!!!?!” “Indeed although I’d rather keep those sources to myself.” “Thank you for that. Anyway, tell me about this painting.” “Well, it all […]

SOFA SO GOOD

This is where the magic happens … (and in the shed of course).   2018 has taken a surprising turn. I haven’t done a shed load of paintings for a very long time and I have never done ‘proper’ paintings using acrylic paint before. Some of these will be available to see (and purchase) at […]

PAINTING. Really!!!?!

I needed an old-school type painting as part of my next exhibition of exciting and innovative sculptures so decided I’d better do it myself.     He turned out ok. I found another off-cut I could use so then did a painting I’ve been thinking about for ages. It was grown from a cutting and lives […]

Yep, still got it. That’s OK then. Now …. where’s that calcified tap and my […]

SPLASHING IT ABOUT

I’ve just done a painting. “Christmas Dinner Makes A Bid For Freedom” Acrylic on canvas 20cm x 20cm This is why I don’t paint very often.

MY MIND ….. A BLANK CANVAS

My blogging room ……. I mean Lo, the terrible Goddess’s office ….. is getting there. The window is installed ……. …… although it originally arrived with one pane of glass missing and they managed to crack one of the other panes during installation which was a bit of a pain. They popped back a couple […]

Di! Ecce hora! Uxor mea me necabit!

. I keep telling Lo, the terrible Goddess that the time I spend on the internet is educational and a high form of artistic endeavour. . . …….. gotta go – for many reasons, including my age ………. .
