Ive been sitting on these for a while now and its doing my head in.
Last year i went to St louis and worked on a colourgram (i think) and woodcut print with a super talented printmaker called Danielle Spradley

we messed around with some shapes, i painted on some wood then came home, and 3 months later i got the proofs in the post. Its hard to get how well done these are on screen but they are beautifully cut and printed,
last month i did a joint show in Glasgow at the ReCoat Gallery with RueFive
and i exhibited some of the proofs there… There are 4 in all….
I Just went to Warsaw and made a painting with my mate Pawel AKA Swanski
I had a wicked time…
check out some more of Swanski’s work and his clothing label here…
some studies for “The Keeper of the Black Pyramid” have recently surfaced.
I took part in a show with the Toaster crew - http://toasterstoasters.blogspot.com/
It is a painting loosely based on the famous ‘man on a horse’ a statue in the centre of Wolverhampton. You can find this, and many other fascinating titbits about Wolverhampton town centre here……

“The inherited story has always been that the sculptor committed suicide after the unveiling, when it was pointed out to him that a horse, supposedly, cannot adopt that stance without falling over. The story is recounted by Phil Drabble in his passionate book on Staffordshire:”
lovely stuff…..
