New Years Revolution

I had a crazy run up to Christmas.

Chelsea Arts Club is was a funny place. It was full of old men in suits with cigars and whiskey noses who did not want to be moved from the chair that had been sat in for the last 50 years and they didn’t think much of the art and all the noise. Fortunately a few collectors who did think something of the art turned up and spent a lot of money. It certainly wasn’t the audience of hippies and students I usually perform to and my poem about pig semen did not go down too well. But perhaps my favourite moment of the evening was watching the faces of the Collectors and Arts Clubs members during Victor Mount’s finally guitar solo.

The Art Auction raised a lot more money than I ever imagined it would. Though it was an unbelievable success, if you have read this blog before you will know my feelings about the commercial art scene and I was left feeling slightly awkward by the amount of money that changed hands at the event. There have already been arguments about it.

Because the Auction turned into such a big events it left me exhausted and ate up nearly all of time that I wanted to spend in the studio preparing from the run of shows I had before Christmas. Though I wasn’t on tip-top form, I did get to test some new material I had been working on in an attempt to broaden my range. Some of it worked and some of it really didn’t. Maybe the crap stuff will put people off booking me while I sort it out.

. Bob Smith on Resonance FM said it wasn’t very ironic. I consider it a great achievement as I was once told by a painter friend of mine that I couldn’t do a non-ironic piece of artwork even if I wanted to.
