I'm no longer painting, due to a difficult few years and financial restrictions. I'll be keeping the site up and blog online, as I still use the email address connected to the site and for £3 a month, this I can afford. I'd like to say it's all been good, but that would be a lie. Though what I achieved and the work I produced, was great fun and a pleasure to share.
Until such time, moe...........

Graffiti: Kings on a Mission
In 1974, one of America's most celebrated cultural figures declared graffiti as "the great art of the 70s".
Back then, thousands of teenagers were vandalising New York, in particular the subway system.Yet Norman Mailer described their "passion", their "cool", their "masterpieces in letters six feet high".Who were the teens behind the "tags" - now the veterans of the scene?Why did they create this movement? Were they even thinking about art, politics, protestor simply writing their names on trains?BBC Radio 4 meets some of those who defied the law (and their parents)and diced with death including pioneers such as Riff 170, Jester, Coco 144, Flint Gennari, and Tats Cru.Their efforts have been replicated far beyond New Yorkin art galleries and in the hands of Arab Spring protestersand yet their aspirations were largely apolitical:they were chasing fame and the acceptance of their peers.The programme explores the city's complicated relationship with graffitiwhich it appears to condemn and celebrate in equal measure.Former artists - or "writers" as they prefer to be known - revisit their old haunts and discusswhy they believe they had a right to "tag", "bomb" and "destroy" New York with markers and spray paint.The programme paints a vivid picture of a city that became a canvas at a timewhen, according to Norman Mailer, "it looked as if graffiti would take over the world".Produced by Steve UrquhartA Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4.

Bristol 2013
After a recent trip down to Bristol
I managed to catch up with my old painting partner Cageone.
I decided to try an experiment, using concrete rather than paint.
This idea is still in its development, but for a first attempt
I am pleased with the final image.

Parklife
Painting in the snow is always a mixture of pleasure and pain.
However, I enjoyed the day painting with an old friend and managed to finish the wall before the light went.
