In this collection of new pieces I am returning to an early more simple style. It is a chance for me to re-invent myself and as life has been very busy for me it gives me the ease of producing work in a shorter space of time.
Mr Smooth - July 2007 - For Sale - £35
This piece I produced the night before the Exhibition in Holy Cross Church and took along on the chance that it might get displayed. I like the way that the body falls away to reveal only hands and that he is a very handsome man. I usually get told that I do too many pieces with woman in them and this was a chance to correct that ballance.
'Girlfriend' - July 07 - Not for Sale
This is a picture that I took last year of Kerry in a pub in Hove. As I have only ever done one other picture of Kerry, I thought that it was time to produce another.
'San Cristobal Youth' - Jan 06 - For Sale - £35
This piece was found when I was tidying my flat. It shows the youth of San Cristobal playing the trumpet which is their way of keeping out of trouble.
'Ice Cream' - July 07 - For Sale - £45
This is a picture that was used to advertise a certain type of Ice Cream. I always liked the image when it first came out. I was pleased when I discovered the advert in some magazines that I found in the street, because it gave me a chance to use the image and turn it into art.
'Gray Ghost' - July 07 - For Sale (framed) - £50
Gray Ghost is a blues musician and has been around since the 1920's. I found some information on the internet about him:
'...Although he had played around Austin and throughout the Southwest and nation since the 1920s, even much of the blues hardcore was unaware of Grey Ghost. Despite some rambling sections and others where rhythmic organization isn't a strong point, there's plenty of vintage boogie and good-natured barrelhouse playing and singing on this set. He wasn't among the greatest in the genre, but certainly belonged in the group close to the top...' ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide.
'Julianna's Wariness' - July 07 - For Sale(Framed) - £50
This shows an 80 year old lady who was weary of some visitors and was wondering about the invasion of her privacy. She lives in a remote area of mongolia and is a relative of Genghis Khan.
'Boatman' - July 07 - For Sale - £35
This is an image of a boatman who takes tourists down the three gorges, which is part of the Yangtze. It looks to be a bit of a dangerous job, but then someone has to do it!
'The Model' - July 07 - For Sale - £20
I have always wondered if I could use a picture where the photograph had been taken with part of the head missing. It seems to be fashionable to take close ups of the face and miss out part of the top of the head. In this piece, which I must say that I am very pleased with, it is possible to use such an image.
'Forever' - July 07 - For Sale - £20
Another in the series where the top of the head is missing. I like the force of attention on this piece where it is the tattoo which says forever, hence the title of the piece.

As part of the Poets Corner Summer Festival Family Fun Day on Saturday 14th July 2007, I exhibited 4 pieces of my work. I composed a piece called "Paris, France" as the Festival theme this year is French. One piece, Mr. Smooth was done only a few nights before. 'Girlfriend' was also produced a few days before. 'Three Ladies" was damaged on the way home and has been destroyed. I will be composing another piece with the same theme in the very near future.
