An artist who rips it up like Salvador Dali, like Turner, like Degas ... Banksy is my hero! At the Bristol Museum

You can't stop the tide from turning.
You can't catch a moonbeam.
You can't step into the same stream twice.
You can't ... paint with light ...
But you can photograph it through a painting.
Part of a series I did on light.
None of these images hang on my walls.
Self portrait via computer this year. Was going to use one as my email signature. Nah!
Self-portrait circa ≈ school.
When I hung paintings and prints I'd done at school and since
on walls painted the colours I like ... it all matched? Perfectly.
That's why this painting has never hung on my wall.
But my point is that you'd better love yourself, just the way you are.
You are what you are.
And if you're a Dasterd ... you can't change.
You can pretend - all your life, to all the world.
But the facts - they're lying in wait 'ou Dasterd!
Rehabilitation? Self-improvement?
Take a look at Gregory House! - Yes House has a friendly first name too ...
Go figure! But he's never, never, never friendly! He's a Dasterd!
He's proud of it. And we love it too!
(Note "TOO" - not TWO or TO!)
You people who don't know the difference really peeve me.
If you're dasterdly - really, really dasterdly. You are going to Hell!
I know. It's spelt dastardly but I'm putting on an accent! So THhHrthrrr!
:P
So this guy's on the radio going on about *delayed gratification*.
It's Radio National - honest, worthy, earnest ... G-F-C not S-E-X.
He said people have forgotten how to delay gratification.
Replace the word people with "consumers".
"Everything, all the time" - that's our motto.
Want a five-metre widescreen and an i-Phone?
Whack it on plastic. What Global Financial Crisis? :D
We've not forgotten about delayed gratifcation. We refuse!
Just like our everyman Homer J. Simpson.
Yep, Homer's to blame for the GFC.
This guy on the radio had another theory too.
It's the media's fault.
Advertisers, marketeers, TV, journalists they make us unhappy with who we
are and so they force us to spend beyond our means... Love that line...
So I'm the dasterd! :? (If you don't already know, I'm a journo)

The Mad Men episode about the slide projector reminded me of this little case I bought somewhere second-hand for $9.
I don't know why. I don't have many slides. I just liked it. I use it as my foot rest.
Anyone know the Brisbane actor/dancer Lisa O'Neill? She let me paint her for the Archibald in 2000. And this was a preliminary sketch.
It's not too bad now that I look at it. Back then I didn't think so.
It's not too bad now that I look at it. Back then I didn't think so.
Pieced it together quick - scanner's too small.
A final Major project adapting Roald Dahl's book The Twits.
