This contains almost everything I've ever tried to convey in my work. It makes it all seem rather superfluous. I'm not sure drawing is the answer.

I'm due to take part in a couple of events that are happening as part of this year's Pick Me Up exhibition at Somerset House in London.


The first will take place on the evening of Thursday 17 March, from 1800 to 2100 hours (6 to 9 pm to the unenlightened), where I will be doing whatever it is they do at 'Heavy Pencil', in the company of my good friend and studio-mate, Will Sweeney.


The second is a one-day Illustration symposium on Tuesday 22 March:

" Illustration is omnipresent as a language of mass communication, arguably an intrinsic cog of the mechanisms of commerce and a growth area in art & design education. It is also poorly defined and inadequately discussed.

" This one-day symposium, hosted by Mokita and Pick Me Up, will examine the subject of illustration, challenge assumptions about the practice and root out its disciplinary ‘core’.
The aim of the day is ambitious, to propose a new definition of the subject, acknowledging its rich and substantial legacy and speculating on its potential dominance in the future visual experience."
