Some years ago I heard a speaker at a design conference talking about colour forecasting. She spoke about yellow and grey, and sure enough over time everything went yellow and grey. Im always suspici...
I dont see so much of the windowsill squirrels when temperatures rise, but the guy below sheltered from a hail storm recently. The dray has a nice splash of bright blue. A few people have asked me do...

Spotted this well camouflaged cat at Seven in Brixton Market today. Tiger is from the veg shop behind but has adopted this spot - very wise. At the Scooterworks cafe in Waterloo, Bobatina chooses a g...
Winter was great....for some: the studio muse.....not sure if he inspires me to industriousness in this mode or not.....

I know youve been wondering how they are......and look how much the dray has evolved since all the paper and plastic etc came in and they shredded it. Its so tempting to do a pastiche on art critic w...

Coming to a London branch of Penhaligons soon......
Mmm, think it would take all day to eat that.
I love useful implements that look comical. I bought quite a few old kitchen utensils over the years - I never knew when I started making chandeliers that all this stuff would become collectible kitc...
Even though I dont need to acquire any more paintings and I wasnt trying to expand the collection of amateur flower paintings - I had to get this last time I was in the Paris flea markets. It looked ...

An autumn bouquet for Trevor, my great friend who died yesterday. Such a clever man, truly original thinker, supportive pal and the most fun company. I know death and illness are normal and natural p...
Sun, snow and sheep, Devon, Christmas Eve 2010 There was a time when I used to make my Xmas cards, usually small printed, hand-tinted photographs. I cant imagine having the time now. Anyway since I l...
