I saw a show of his in Jena and though it was wonderful and hes some one i look up to


Ive decided to start mentioning the people who inspire me in this blog, he had a bit of a tough time under the Nazi's as they didnt like his type of painting much so he had to do some in secret ,Id like to have a freedom to alow the materials to do what they want as he dose and his sence of color is magnificant.



Bit of a scrible from the other day intresting how you drop in and out of form this is from having had a bit to drink but the others cant realy say. I like this happy free line but would be nice if it was a bit more contrasting.



Some nice tone in this one family were all around though and couldnt realy get on with it, shame will go back and do a few more am starting to think of walter sicket now but ill save a link to him for another day.



This man was chewing on somthing and his sons moved a lot ,quite like familys especialy family men would be nice to do as a serise of work someday.

stag do recovery

Had a long day yesterday







Hve some funny doodles from when i was drunk but dont realy have the energy to activate the scanner at the moment.

bus Journey

Some girl on the bus





Intresting day in work there was horror when a trainie art teacher said "I dont get it, how's super glueing a load of biscut tins together art" .The women started talking, "she's going to be an art teacher you know" "thats terrable what's she going to say to the children". She will be an enemy in the ideological war. would be nice if both sides took a step back as both have good and bad artists on there side , but thats just not the nature of people especialy belivers.




this man was on the bus as well.
