Stamp out Racism

A painting for Vincent to say thanks for the last three months. Marmite was a hot topic in the land of cusine. A country where food racism is rife and needs to be address in clear and understandable terms to change the mindset of the populace. Otherwise the prejudice will live on. Maybe they are right though, maybe it isn't exactaly haute cusine...

Channel Crossing

Just found a couple of photos on my computer from when I was coming over to France on the ferry. Nervous about what lay in store for me and already missing Martha. That was all nearly three months ago now though, the only thing that hasn't changed is missing Martha.

Second time at Puech Maynarde

I completed a second sejour at the horse ranch in north Aveyron called Puech Maynarde last week. This time I was photographing and also following the TV crew who were making documentary for French television. Again a really interesting time and I hope some good pictures and video. All the photos from this trip are available HERE on my flickr portfolio for this summer.

Still Water

Water from a fountain in Avignon. Lovely little neat droplets that it makes, it looks much messier in real life, but frozen they are perfect.

Sur le pont d'Avignon

Photos from a trip to Avignon (not to be confused with Aveyron where I live) this weekend. The bridge in the last photo is the pont d'avignon, a very famous bridge in France. Those of you who remember Joes song from last year might recal the line: "sur le pont d'avignon..."

Design a Postcard

My summer project was to design 4 postcards covering 4 topics. The idea was to explore designers and creative people that could influence you and also to explore graphically the postcard. I looked into collectability and trying to put a greater narrative and collectability into postcards in an age of mobile phones and facebook. My postcards (or is that postwoods) were posted in Aveyron and are currently winging their way to England I hope.
