There’s sooo much going on in the world today… crazy “drone” sightings and all the accompanying speculations .. mad oligarchs getting legitimacy.. not just underhand venal lobbying.. Insane economics.. bad autocrats, (plutocrats?).. here’s a fish called Sushi.🙄

A couple of skull rings after the tradition of memento-mori (sp?) jewellery… but really because skulls are a “ thing” these days .. and a Home Sweet Home ring.. because that’s always a thing!.. and together they’re a haunted house👀

Hello! Well this seems a decent and positive move!.. What a remarkable difference in tone to what Twitter has become. Placing some images here from a recent exhibition, by way of an introduction. Two small bronzes and a collection of Tea-caddy spoons, made by myself.
