not all of use, of course. It was created by the physically strong and those willing to be lead. It was created by kings and all the protocols around monarchies are there because of vanity. It was created by women who bore children to the warrior before the thinker. It was created by men whose…
someone
posted hogwash statistics on LinkedIn and I called them out and they complained that I was being mean and they were neurodivergent. I am still trying to figure out how someone goes to a public forum, posts lies, and then complains to me for pointing it out. and what right does anyone have to post…
Paint me wild
So a Klimt has sold for £180.000.000 and I am sure most artists are underwhelmed. it is another exhibition of how the superrich enjoy art as an investment. Looted by the Nazis and displayed by Leonard A Lauder its history is part of its appeal but for artists today who tomorrow will fetch such sums…

They have forgotten that the buzz inside the brain all these things entail stops thought dead, everything is about the hormones released in feelings and nothing in the creative flow…
Publishing
I was asked today about our publishing strategy and what it would entail and my first response had nothing to do with the actual creation of a book. That takes work but is the easy bit because every piece of it is in our hands. The real work is finding all those pieces which are…
Acting as an art form
Movie making is fun and has a rich history despite its youth but it is prone to celebrate personality rather than talent. I am not going to single out any particular film actor but we all know those whose voices never change, who hit a part that fits their own body form an delivery and…
Shorter Days
You would think that as the nights get longer I would be able to work in the warmth of a house but sadly no. I invested in a friend in 2019 and lost my home as a result so i sit in a small lodge with most of my home packed into a portacabin where…
