Stuart Haygarth “Found”…. Haunch of Venison, London….. “Finished with that toothpaste? Throw it away. Got a new pair of glasses? Get rid of the old pair. Your Aunt gave you that awful porcelain dog? Send it to the Charity shop.” […]
Very pleased this morning; a friend told me that my blog had made her try and renegotiate two work contracts as her hours had gone up but money hadn’t. I don’t know how likely a pay rise is, but asking […]
I wasn’t sure if the books were going to be shown on the floor or were going to be wall mounted, but they’re definitely going to be on the floor. So today I’ve been playing around with different ways they […]
New directions A part from the fact that my studio is frozen and unreachable with the snow, I am planning my next year of activity and I feel I need a change of strategy. After a very promising 2009, in […]
Also very pleased this afternoon as today was like a second chance Monday. YSP was snowed off so I had this gift of an extra day to do some catching up. Accounts up-to-date, invoices sent, talk images ready for Biennial […]
Hope everybody had a great Christmas and New Year. I spent the holidays finally getting my own website together! It is now up and running, however I’m sure I’ll still be tinkering with it for the next few weeks! I’d […]
DRAWING: Developments of a current drawing from a photograph of one of Rosetti’s models.

Last tuesday, Nathan and David came from the Museum to collect my work ….at last! It felt momentous..then, the next day, the snow came, and everything stopped. For a few hours. Then came a snowstorm of emails, requests for opinions […]
My companion has just sold several paintings to a werewolf called Russell Tovey.In fact I am beginning to think I am surrounded by supernatural beings. Not least of these is my upstairs neighbour whose nocturnal habits of singing along to […]
I’ve managed to keep a record of some walks I did over the last couple of weeks, often in snow as would be expected as there is so much of it about right now.
Christmas break over and back to Bangor on Wednesday. I’ve asked for a critique on my first day back, it’s unscheduled, but I feel I need some feedback, some constructive criticism re my work with light boxes. Sometimes I question […]
This is my last post for this blog as I won’t be going up and down to London much over the next few months and not at all to college. I was actually quite looking forward to using the new […]
Just beginning to realise how dissapointed I was with the pinhole camera failure. How much is bouncing back from these hiccups a part of having resilience as an artist? I recently read an interesting book. Hare brain, Tortoise Mind by […]
Snow, snow and more snow. I am tidying up my office which now has to double up as a studio since I have given up my external studio for the time being.
Well the Christmas break over, which was nice and relaxing and ready to ease back into uni next week. Beyond some writing assignments, reading, old vhs I finally edited a video that has been taking months and given me wrist […]
