7 stunning paintings you should see in person
Seven of my favourite paintings in the world. Each of them a magical slice of creativity. Each one with a personal story attached.
Portrayal of an Artist – Part 3 [Music Parody]
The final post about Portrayal of an Artist, a music industry parody that I created an age ago. I delve into the creative process and some of the quirky moments that shaped this collection of fake album covers.
