I dated a partially nude model, and she did a half-assed job. Jay London
Friday Nude Quotes
The problem lies in interpretation. A nude should be accepted for its face value ā an exploration of the human form in all its natural glory. Greg Gorman
Where do you find your muse?
I’ve been having interesting discussions lately on the topic of muses and how different artists access their own personal muses. In Greek mythology, inspiration for all the different arts were represented by the muses. Demi gods and goddesses who would descend on artists and grant them inspiration. These days we refer to our muses as…

Pipes – a steampunk nude Dazlstudio render I have yet to photograph the finished aviatrix yet so here is the render of the painting I am currently working on. it’s working name is pipes, but I don’t have a title for it yet. Sorry I didn’t post this last week, I had a migraine and…
ditch the nagging b**** and reclaim the most important thing
I haven’t done any real painting since moving as my studio is still very much under construction. it will soon be in a useable state and then a huge pressure will be relieved. because I’ll tell you a little truth about being an artist- the less you paint the less you want to paint- the reverse of my statement in my post 8 reasons why making art is like making love but that leads me back to my goals for 2011 and what I want to do about #5 on my list: I want to paint.
Quick! Don’t forget these important resolutions either!
It has been brought to my attention that I missed some key goals on my list. Not painting, painting is #1 and always will be (more on that next week) but my offline goals. I plead distraction. I wrote my to do lists a couple of times in different ways, and reasoned that I had…

Nude of the week – Peace
The title of this piece is at odds with how I feel at the moment, I wanted to create an image of serenity to try and help myself feel more at peace. it worked while I was painting anyway! I’ve been so busy. we’ve moved house so many times it’s not funny but this time…
revisionist historian
Ennui I get ideas all the time. ideas for paintings, blog posts, tweets, thankyou letters, exhibitions, concepts, installations, companies, the future.. my backbrain is always churning, always creating, always coming up with new ideas. the problem is my forebrain. my forebrain gets involved and starts editing all these ideas. it puts the t in can. and the more I think about them the more I think people don’t want to read this, see this, think about that.. what if they don’t like it, what if they don’t like me, what if, what if whatif?
