Other news: Taxidermy Workshop I held my first D.I.Y taxidermy workshop last weekend at the Fish Bar Gallery, Dalston.  I am working on the feature film 'BORROWED TIME'- A dark comedy written and directed by Jules Bishop.

 D.I.Y Taxidermy IIII  LIVE Tuesday 3rd MAY RED Gallery  Rivington street The 4th live demonstration, performance, exhibition  & artist talk all rolled into one.   'A bit like a science lesson from a substitute teacher...who is really an artist.'   In about an hour I will talk the audience through my D.I.Y process (emphasis is heavily on the D.I.Y aspect). Delivered in a 'shopping channel' style, I'll give you handy hints & tips for using basic everyday objects, where to source animal parts legally & personal preservation methods, giving a unique insight into this seemingly dark art and mind of an artist. The audience is encouraged to participate and generally be involved in the creation of a new artwork.   An exhibition will run alongside the show, displaying surreal and bizarre assemblage sculptures of recent finds. The animals are always refuse! I am disgusted by waste, especially the waste of life- the most precious gift of all! These creatures
