Smile inducing Brain Activity!
Never really been sure about Shrigley’s work but very often it has brought about a wry smile… watching this has made that smile broader… well that’s what floats my boat today!
Bonkers brain workout!
Ok, so check this out. I really don’t know what it is that I’m getting from this, but it is kinda Sunday night surreal slumber play, and I am getting something!
Do we really have to understand, as long as it provokes/stirs within… try it out.
Paper delight!
This guy’s exploration and manipulation with paper is just simply sublime!

Marketing… how to get your work noticed
Ok, so this is very old news, but still worth talking about. I really enjoy this artist’s work, but also most intrigued by the motives behind leaving work anonymously… Either way, unique and delicious gifts celebrating all things ‘book’ or a ingenious marketing campaign ( when the artist is revealed, everyone is already talking about the work and the creator)… giving me ideas around how to break the cloak of an artists invisibility.
The ultimate in affordable housing!

Loosen the brain, delving into the creative pot
Ah, as is so often the case, balancing the workload between educational practice and studio development is a difficult thing. The practicalities are that I can diarise the day or indeed days in the week when I can focus on my practice, develop the work and produce hopefully an outcome that fits what I am trying to communicate. Needless to say, what sometimes happens on these days, is that I find myself devoid of any creative thought/passion/drive.
Alas… I cannot afford to put aside a day/days in the week for general mooching (though in hindsight… there could be benefits to this process, no matter how frustrating)!
So, I am developing a way forward, knowing that what has unlocked me many a time before is automatic mark making or writing. I am now utilizing this approach but with a scalpel in hand and a book under my fingers.
Interesting results.
