Collaboration with David Dipré

Although I met David at Camberwell School of Art in 1990 (when we were on foundation) we only tried working together a few weeks ago. To get the ball rolling I gave him a few canvases I'd painted gold. On one of them I'd painted round my hands in blue.

David stuck two of the canvases together and turned it into a bit of a tribute to Peter Blake - I've started to add actual badges from my personal collection...

Collaboration with Rowland Smith

Years ago I met the actress Angelina Jolie. She came into the bookshop where I work to buy a book on Lucian Freud. My friend Rowland, who I've known since I was 16 painted the above painting "Breakfast in Bed" with me. We're both fans of the film Bedazzled which includes a memorable scene with Dudley Moore and Rachel Welch that also helped inspire this painting.
Another painting Rowland and I did was of me as a teenager playing chess with my Dad. This one is called "Whose Go Is It Again?"

Collaboration with Geraldine Swayne

This painting is 90 x 110cm and was painted in Whitstable in Kent. It's of Jesus being taken down from the cross. The area of pure blue is by me and in my memory I started the head but then Geraldine Swayne vastly improved everything. I think Billy Childish felt he'd dominated the other painting we made together.

Collaboration with Billy Childish

In 2009 I had my first lesson in how to paint with oils. Geraldine Swayne drove me to Billy Childish's mum's house. I brought out a book of images of Jesus and selected a painting based on the mocking of Christ (when he was forced to wear a crown of thorns). Billy and Geraldine did much more of this painting than I did!

Collaboration with Gordon Beswick

This painting from 2012 The Life Drawing Class by Gordon Beswick and myself  is partly a homage to (or rip-off of) Matisse. It's also based on photos Gordon took of me and Billy Childish drawing a beautiful life model.

Below is one of Gordon's photos...

Collaboration with Kes Richardson

Many years ago Kes Richardson and I did a series of paintings together based on the idea of the artist and their muse. I always liked this one we did of Man Ray and Lee Miller. Yesterday a musician friend called Micko Westmoreland asked if this painting could be on the cover of his new album "Yours ETC Abc."
