"Alternative" art first caught my attention a couple of years ago when I visited a small gallery in London that exhibited shit work - literally I mean: sculptures, a lot of them, made by what I recall being a Spanish or South American artist who employs faecis and turn them into art objects. Then there was a dog by the same artist, whom he let die of starvation while calling the process "modern art".

The Tate has just bought some William Blake hand-made pictures. The inscription for one of them, depicting a naked man clasping his head in pain as he is consumed by flames, reads: "I sought Pleasure & found Pain." My thought exactly every morning when I go to work; I wonder if I also look the same. The museum paid £441m for these pieces.

London Art Fair - it was good!




Su Blackwell


Her work is magical

This was just creepy, that's the only reason I took the picture. But now that I think about that the pink dog reminds me of this candle I have in my room ...










Conroy Maddox "Loitering with intention", which I was doing ...


Robert Ryan was great too, and I did like the butterflies by Allyson Reynolds but I can't find any good picture of them on the internet and the art gallery woman at the fair didn't let me take pictures when I asked, even though other people were taking pictures so I just shouldn't have asked. . . Robert Ryan is terribly romantic, by the way.
