In some countries (eg Italy and Japan) placing your hand in this position and waggling it back and forth means ‘come this way please’. In Hong Kong a man in a temple did this to me so I could have a look at some statues. Even though I knew what it meant, it was still a little confusing at first as nobody does this in England.

Its going to be like Italia 90 all over again, except there’ll be art instead of football and it’ll be 09. If you’re in Italy, go and see this show. If not, it’s the perfect excuse for a little break to sun and genuine pizza.

I’ve been featured in “Mint” magazine, the publication from the Amsterdam Fashion Insitute. It smells and looks very nice. Thanks be to the fashionable people from the insitute. You can look at it here

Also, the Italian exhibition I mentioned a while ago will be opening on the 12th September Art-Port, Palazzolo dello Stella, Italy. It is called (H)Earth and will be featuring plenty good artists from all over the world.

Here’s the second drawing I did for the Italian group show. As you can see one is cold and one is hot. You can decide for yourself whether the dolphin is dead, stunned, enjoying a hug or what.

Here’s a rough and ready scan of a picture I’m working on for a group show in Italy. I’m not sure as yet what this chap’ll be up to. He hasn’t even got a mouth yet. He may be dead. He may be a dad. Difficult decisions surely lie ahead.
