My Interests

Painting, Photography, Graphics and everything involved with images. Music. Oh, and I love the Uk and Ireland, especially South-West England and London. Deeply addicted to black tea and dark chocolate.

I'd like to meet:


Joseph Fiennes, Luc Tuymans and Egon Schiele (... but he died in 1918). Oh, also Gonzo and all the Muppets!

My Quotes:

"Perhaps even bad artists have their place in the scheme of things"
- Epitaph for George Dillon - Osborne & Creighton

"Who is tired of London is tired of life." - Samuel Johnson

"There is no world without Verona walls,
But purgatory, torture, hell itself."

- Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Scene III - William Shakespeare

“There are no small parts. Only small actors.” - Milan Kundera

“Art is never finished, only abandoned.” - Leonardo Da Vinci

“Everyone wants to understand painting. Why is there no attempt to understand the song of the birds?” - Pablo Picasso

“I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.” - Stephen Wright

“Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.”- Frank Zappa

“Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.” - Groucho Marx

“Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be - like the reality of yesterday - an illusion tomorrow.” - Luigi Pirandello
