Five go to Pepe's

An acquaintance of mine recently opened a very nice cafe near me; and on finding out I am an artist ( yes, its true, I am), she asked for some of my paintings to display. Great! She also said that she would only charge commission once I get famous! Love Pepe! What a star!

Here are the five framed pieces of my work, the photos are sub standard, I know, but these were taken in a hurry just before I took them over to Pepe.

Then there is another 'Art of Recovery' exhibition, installation and opening night this coming Friday - gulps! Not much pressure - too much pressure more like! Still I am sure it'll all be alright on the night ( hopefully).

Art and Economic Regeneration

There is a common sense notion and indeed something that is enforced in everyday life which is that work ought to be separated from culture and art. Something that a recent comment here reiterated, it went something like this:- if you like to be creative and do creative stuff, then do it in your own time.

It is actually a well known and proven fact ( and I do have references for this) - although kept secret at the same time, that the main ingredient in economic regeneration is art and art exhibitions.

So I am doing more than being responsible for myself in my own life by pursuing art ( even though it is a massive financial strain and burden), I am taking responsibility for everyone, I am doing it for the love of humanity and for the sake of our regeneration.

Maybe one day I will go into more detail about that and what inspired me to embark on art and craft in the first place, the visions, theories and concepts that lies behind it, and also what has kept and keeps me going. Thus far of course.

The people's army and the heartless crew




Live up, live up, live up and live right.

This is a special victory tune for the successful defense of Tower Hamlets East London yesterday ( 3rd September) against the threat of morons from the racist and fascist EDL. They did not pass and you can't stop us, see!
