Here is my current crowing glory. Yes it's the headpiece to end all headpieces. Ram's skull covered in a magpies wet dream. I'm working on some new pieces for a fashion shoot. They showed me a mood board and asked me to come up with some stuff....  'Yeah'- I thought-' Like that- BUT BETTER.' So here's the current best of the best.  If I could be a thing right now THIS would be it. I am so in love. More in love than anything ever before.. When the light hits it, the celling goes wild- like the whole ocean is reflected in the walls.  It is just amazing.   Failing being a headpiece, I will turn it into a sculpture. A creature that gives out so much dazzling light you can't even look at it. Here's some other creations specifically for the shoot: Canadian Goose wing necklace. Still needs to be twiddled with but you've got the essence.  'The Guille' Guillemot headpiece. It's nice to work on nice things. In

Recently I performed an excerpt from the musical  'SING FOR YOUR LIFE!' at the first Dark Fabrics Cabaret; A cross between the X Factor and Pet Rescue. In the week before I managed to scrape together a fox which was specially couriered up from my mum's freezer in Dorset. Poor woman..... This fox was found by my sister and her friend.  As you can see they're having a great time. The fox obviously hadn't. There wasn't a scratch on her which leads me to suspect poison!  She was a beauty.  So so stunning. Took at least 3 days to semi defrost. Here's how the puppet was made. . . . STEP ONE: Defrost Fox STEP 2: Skin Fox STEP 3: Try and make the fox look like a fox again To give the head a shape instead of just flopping around I used a badger skull. If I had a fox skull I would have used that but I didn't so a badger had to do. It's wider and shorter but by padding the skull out with sanitary towels, eventually it started to a

Subtle There's  a man called Samir Ceric in a Gallery called Debut  Contemporary  on Westborne Grove that has bullied, manipulated and lied to thousands of young, naive and inexperienced artists. Playing on the fact they are desperate to make it in the art world.  Here’s some advice for free:  YOU CAN’T BUY YOUR WAY IN There is no short cut to fame and glory. You get it by hard work and hard work only and if you are willing to work hard YOU WILL SUCCEED. You don’t need to pay over 400 pounds a month (for min 3 months contract) for a mentoring scheme from a man with no background in art whatsoever… Astoundingly Samir Ceric had just been voted (AND WON) the Hospital Club’s 100 most influential people in the Art and Design category. "I CHOKED ON MY LOAD" Now let me give you some background on the winner: A serial and self-styled entrepreneur, with numerous failed/bankrupt business and absolutely no art qualifications at all. I was amazed
