Work and TV

Lots of work out there at the moment. Interviews with Thomas Demand and Ryan McGinley in the Megan Fox issue of Wonderland magazine. One of my latest small pieces as contributing art editor at Elle on Damien Hirst's forthcoming show is also out

When i jumped off the train from the Excess show in Paris I also went straight to BBC World TV and was interviewed live about graffiti... (the clips get out of sync a bit so press pause then play to refresh)

And keep an eye open for the next issue of Dazed for a real labour of love piece on a new wave of pyschadelic art....

Kissing

I am pro kissing.

Lunar Loopy

The moon is so fat tonight. I've been watching it slowly move across the sky. Thought it was worth a selection of artwork:

Ryan McGinley (who I've interviewed for the next issue of Wonderland magazine out in September). From his forthcoming show Moonmilk.



Joseph Wright of Derby for some old school
