Collaboration with Adrian R. Shaw

Adrian R. Shaw and I have worked together quite a few times but not for a while. In the photo above I gave him photos from weddings I went to which he then turned into paintings. We made a publication called: "That's Andy" (A guide to Warhol). And below is a birthday card he made me for my 30th birthday which recently got exhibited at The Sluice Art Fair.

 Ade and I are both fans of Bryan Ferry. I collect copies of "These Foolish Things" which is an album of cover versions that Bryan released in the late 70s. We're planning to work on the sleeves and present them as a homage.

Collaboration with Stuart Cumberland

I known Stuart for about 20 years and always admired his paintings.

Last week I saw a table that a neighbor had thrown away. The table's surface had been scratched, stained and damaged. I sent an afternoon sanding it down and gave it several coats of primer till it looked nice again.

 I contacted Stuart and suggested that if I brought it round to his studio he could paint on it. He replied "That sounds like a plan."

Stuart examined the table as though he was a vet looking at a sheep. Let's wait and see what happens next!
