Today I had a brain spasm. I've been busy. Recently I've been really busy. Mostly being busy means moving things round my studio but today I was moving them more productively than usual. 'Look What the Stork Brung’ is stuff I have been working on separately, little individual pieces that were independent to each other- that I joined up. That day my mind was working and things fitted into place so perfectly. I got such a massive rush! It was so weird. 5 bloody years of keeping and collecting and in 5 minutes I had pieced all the links together to make it work like a well-oiled visual machine!  I was buzzing!

Oh god I wish you ...

He looks like himself. These are c alled Pubes. You may have some yourself. These are min e   'A Whole New World' Close up of my finger with a spot I picked and squeezed. Blood and some clear stuff came out but I don't know what it is.   'Mind Like a Magpie' I brought loads of bits of magpies off the internet, wings, feet- The usual. I got thinking about their heads. No one was selling magpie heads... but they must exist if I could buy everyt...
