It is always a pleasure to be out painting with Kem & Mef as they tend to produce big pieces very quickly which is a challenge for me as I tend to work very slowly so I often find that I have little time to agonise over every tiny detail & often I am surprised by the result.
This was two days of fighting against the elements as a deluge meant that we had to take cover under a nearby cae park & venture out in dry spells to attack the hoardings which were near a very busy supermarket in Walsall. We had to contend with shoppers walking through our very limited space & knocking the paint over & cars driving through every couple of seconds. By the end of the second day I was so exhausted that I could hardly move. They are a strange breed in Walsall. Utterly focussed on their own minute appetites as they wander in a fugue through their surroundings trampling anything in their path without recognition or a single word. Conversation is practically non existent in that strange place.

Freakshow Tamworth 2011
Aerosol Planet video from the Freakshow jam.
They took footage of me even though I asked them not to & now everyone knows that I paint wearing a suit & look like a magician down on his luck. Thankfully you cannot hear my brummie accent.

Essex Rockers were to my right on the same wall but did not appreciate the fact that I was listening to the Mars Volta quite loudly, not the short stuff either but Day of the Baphomets on repeat. thirteen minutes of electric insanity.
Having said that, they were listening to an old Trifle track that I hadn't heard previously on some DJ compilation.

Moonchild in progress
After a few days painting a narrowboat in Camden, London I decided to return to this canvas.
There is still quite a long way to go before she is finished but I managed to get a feel for how the completed work should look.
