Yay Slart! Dubuffet, Shrigley and Haring? You're a golden boy son. You're Banksy.

Thanks m’lady, that’s kind of you to say. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing some covert stuff, getting permission to paint outside involves a lot of obstacles 😂 damn I’ve just blown my cover already.

Well that explains why Jess was a lot less interesting than you were in this interview! The Club magazine story is incredibly potent (no pun intended :)) and I AM WONDERING WHEN THE NYC show is?? I would love to try to meet up there and see the show and you. What a delicious interview! (And I just realized how cleverly you seeded our curiosity about the 12-storey mural, "just for you, Jessica"! You really had me going!

Ha thanks Beth, I was thinking of mentioning that Beth wasn’t real upfront, but thought it would work better at the end.

Yes the Club story, I feel very vulnerable sharing that, but I realise the more vulnerable I am the more real the art is.

The exhibit is on 21-24th March 2024. https://affordableartfair.com/fairs/new-york-spring/ I have realised that I booked our family holiday to Spain then so I won’t be able to attend this time. We were in great need of a holiday and it slipped my mind about the exhibit dates.

However, when I have my solo in NY it’ll be much more rewarding coming to visit!

Thank you for your support!

I forgot to say how much I loved the Shrigley card and the SLART/Crosland invite! OK, we will meet up at a point you are in the Eastern US. Have fun in Spain with your dear family. And it did work brilliantly to put Jessica's identity at the end! I was so impressed. I realized that even I took it more seriously because it was an interview and that was exactly part of what you were playing with.

I love Shrigs sense of humour! Glad you liked it, Adam kept saying he wanted it unpretentious, and it was 😂

Yes, I look forward to this day!

We need the holiday! It’s been a while :-)

That means a lot coming from a great writer like yourself. I love the interview format, it opens me up more I think. So I’m open for interviews if anyone wants to interview me :-)

Alright! You're ON! I forgot that I have an interview series. (Sheesh!) Let's do this--soon? I'll email you and we'll make a time. You know I'm the queen of follow-through. And yes, I would def say the invite is...unpretentious!!! :))
