Glad you like it. Tp paste an image here you need to join a host site like Photobucket or Flickr. I'm not sure about the States but these are generally free if you don't use them too much. I use both and spread the load. Upload your image to the host site and it will give you the HTML code for it. Cut and paste that into the Comment box on artreview.com or wherever else you like. It's easy. You might have to mess about with the size and dpi of the first image but once you establish what works for you just repeat the process in future. Let me know how it goes.

Better late than never................

Hi Miguel - always good to hear from you, especially when you your critique is so acute and positive. I'll take issue on one point however - I actually don't like much about Magritte. Philosophically we are chalk and cheese and whilst I'll concede that given my interest in intertextuality and the reality that Magritte is one of the last century's most popular collagistes, he is for sure "in" my work - but no more than Sean Hillen or John Baldessari or Caspar David Friedrich or Corot or Poussin. And no more than De Chirico is "in" Magritte's work. I'm rather less interested in objects than Magritte and more focussed on the relationships between people and the landscapes they inhabit. What I like about and source from Magritte is that he caught the brain roof chatterings of his time which still echo in our ears today. Hopefully my work contains and dramatizes Magritte's motifs and concerns within the wider context of a new millennium. I'm delighted you noticed that yes..... I am trying to make the work cleaner but I still want you to see the joins - to know the unreality of the image. I hope these ramblings make some sense to you. Thanks again for your kind words and for prompting me to work out my own thoughts. Cheers.
MIKE

t's been a long time since we communicated. I hope you're doing well.
I love your new art pieces. On some of them I can tell you took a lot of inspiration from the work of Magritte, one of my most fave painters. Your technical style is also becoming very clean.
Beautiful work!
