Good evening my chums,
I apologise for the lateness of the hour...also...I apologise for any spelling mistakes cos it is so late.
Well what can I say? T'is been a whirlwind doings of epic proportions. I've been steadily painting some new pieces and finishing others. The "Dragons Kiss" is now finished...it was the last in the "Elementals" series of paintings. It's probably the most sensual painting of the series. I must admit she's looking a tad dishevelled and a little "emotional"...mind...who wouldn't with a bloke that's part dragon breathing all over you. It was quite difficult trying to bring in the "fire" to this series. All the dragon shape-shifters were men...and nearly all of those were transformed as part of a spell. This image is the only one of the "Elementals" whose story comes mainly from my imagination. Mmmmmm...how telling is that?
I've also been working on some nudes...reckon I'm doing this due to my own sad carcass being on a tobogan ride to sagging wrinkleness. Perhaps painting better forms will exorcise the ghosts of desperation at hitting middle age. Mmmm...I do admit to it being a very therapeutic exercise and I'm now less inclined to scream when I remove clothing. Ho hum. Plus...I'd forgotten what a challenge it is painting shed loads of bare flesh. Where these particualar paintings will end up is a concurrent countdown conundrum...but...I have fingers in many doodahs and irons in many fires...oooooer, I say no more.
My new best friend Joe Hendry and me have been in dialogue...I sound dead Alan Sugar. We're considering doing some stuff together in a rather groovy new place in Glasgow...I won't say owt else now as it's still in the early planning stage. I'm dead excited...I'm skipping as I type. Thanks Joe for keeping the faith my chum.
I'm still displaying stuff at "Christo's " Gallery in the West End of Glasgow and my stuff is also adorning the walls at "Art Bar" in Brunswick Road Glasgow. Please feel free to go along and have a gander...and...if you feel inclined purchase a pice of "Art"

I was at the circus the other evening and it was quite an experience. It wasn't immpressive at all...infact it all seemed a tad jaded and slightly sad. I do admire the troop continuing on despite dwindling audiences and constant protests from animal rights bods. "Why are you telling us this?" I hear you ask. Mmmmm...well, along with this circus experience and the stuff I've been reading on "Burlesque" theatre, I feel a new set of paintings forming in my bonce. Have no idea how it'll pan out or even how I'll approach it...but I know something will emerge from it all. A right "circus of burlesque". I will keep you posted...mind it'll have to wait a bit as I've got some commissions to do. Ho hum.

Finally...can I make a huge apology. Apparently a spam dooooings has got hold of my email address book and keeps sending people stuff for viagara. Please accept my sincere apology...I am endeavouring to sort it out.
Thank you for taking the time,
