Starving artist

About Me

All I'm doing at the moment is painting and trying to get exhibitions. I am not making a living from art but still do it and have done all my life. It's for the love but don't get me wrong if I could sell some stuff to fund my boho lifestyle I wouldn't say no.

My Interests

Art, film, skateboarding hip hop, punk,junk, fake fur coats, hats, BBQs, Flaming Golf, Arsenal, the beautiful game in general and drinking Guiness.New painting recently finished, 1m X 1m approx (both together) Some more work for PAD versus exhibition showing through July. All 25cm X 25cm.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who's cool, want's to look at my work or want's to let me know about what they are doing.

Music:

Currently listening to things like Rodney P, Gnarls Barkley, Retro Spankees, Beck, Bloc Party, BRMC, Arcade Fire, Pitman and The Go Team. Stuff from the past I still check out would be pretty much any old school hip hop BDP and the like. Dead Kennedys, Butthole Surfers and the Ramones. If I'm in a metal mood maybe Black Sabbath or Anthrax or if in a skate park then Iron Maiden and even Metallica. Rolling Stones and The Who are still awesome and people should always give some time to The Kinks or The Small Faces. Paint it Black was always good to stick on the jukebox in Radlands back in the day. Talking about past greatness I will always have time for The Specials or The Jam. My First musical love was Hip Hop when me along with the rest of the local kids got into breakdancing back in 1983!

Movies:

Current Top ten would currently look like this; City Of God . The Good The Bad and The Ugly . Goodfellas . Raising Arizona . Casino . Apocalypse Now . Seven Samurai . All About My Mother . Blade Runner . Casablanca .

Television:

A cross between a loving mother and the evil addiction of crack. RIP Did this for the Retro Spankees. They are cool and have a new single coming out called vowel play.

Books:

I would definately recommend reading Catch 22. People should make an effort and read 1984, The Naked and The Dead and Animal Farm. Anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez that I have read has been good, 100 Years of Solitude being the stand out title. Norman Mailer's book about the rumble in the jungle The Fight was good. Iwould like to read some JD Salinger stuff and maybe The Outsider by Camus.

Heroes:

Heroes would be Paul Robeson, Akira Kurasawa, Jenny Saville, Ron Kitaj, Banksy, Rembrandt, loads of artists too plentiful to mention. A hero to me would be someone who consistently tried to help others or was willing to lay down there life for someone or did what they thought was right even when it was dangerous to do so. This is awesome. Gonz

Flaming Golf.

Turned 32 the other day and had a big BBQ. We played a game that I feel will one day be as popular as all of today's major world sports. Flaming Golf. At the end of your garden tilt a trash can at a ...
