What do I see? How do I see? What happens in the process of seeing? When does the shift occur? I need to understand how I work to mature as an artist. I need to learn to read my work… or will this ability emerge from understanding?

A Day of Questions and Answers
This chapter is about a day when my questions and the Universe’s answers flow in a seamless conversation. Today starts with meditation. I want to organise my activities, or rather to define what I want to achieve, or rather to divine how to go about the day, or simply to relax and let the body […]
Steampunk and Other Beasts
Steampunk. Have you ever heard? Well, me, being an advanced culture-consumer, I’ve heard. I’ve read and loved Robert Rankin’s novels, many of which fall into that genre.

No $*** Talk About Art. Hennessy Youngman Of Art Thoughtz

Or artists statements – those are at the top of the chart on the creative abuse use of “vocabulary” words. That’s why I loved this article in HuffingtonPost Art section! So refreshing. “HuffPost […]
It Is Not About Art!
Having a gallery on a High Street for 10 years gives one some experience, even if that particular one is a lazy bum. Artists! Those of you who had a misfortune opportunity to invigilate exhibitions or be a proud owner of a gallery – you know what I mean. One wouldn’t want to spend more […]
