About my artwork

I like it and so will you so buy it.
I used to be with the Stuckists, now I'm back on my own.
Co-founder Remodernist film- the group is in hibernation at the moment.
Mostly self taught, but thought it would be interesting to go to art school and see how that affects my style.

Vincent van Gogh
Edvard Munch (later stuff)
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff

Interests

Pinhole and Holga photography, Super-8mm filmmaking, oil painting, I'm not really into this new technology/digital/Post-Modern/conceptual type stuff. I'm really a 19th/20th century kind of guy... Holga photography is about as modern as I get.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?

The last great exhibition was sometime around 1906. Unfortunately I didn't get to see it.

The centre of the artworld is

nowhere and everywhere
