If you’ve seen me floating about you’ll have probably seen my paintings based on brutalist architecture and concrete.
This painting has been shortlisted for the Well Hung painting prize in London next month. It’s the first time I’ve exhibited my work so far from home, but it feels pretty poetic that right now my work is getting ready for exhibition a short drive away from Brutalist Mecca.
Perhaps it’s a sign!
I delivered a painting to a gallery for an open exhibition recently, it was professionally wrapped in secure (and costly) foam wrapping material when delivered.
When I came to collect my work at the end of the exhibition on the agreed date, my work was still hanging on the gallery wall, and I had to remove it and ask for some some bog standard bubble wrap to protect it or I’d have been walking around with a professional 1000 pound painting unprotected. My wrapping is nowhere to be found and I was told to not use too much of the bubble wrap that was left over.
I didn’t have a sign off or damage inspection, and the person handing me my work back even joked that I could be anyone off the street.
This hasn’t happened before, as each gallery has returned my work in the condition it was delivered in, if not better - was this unprofessional on the gallery’s part or should it be down to me as the artist to bring the essentials to repack my work when collecting?
Fresh to the first person that wants it that’s been saving up their oaks

The new fighting buffs are great, but I see most people gravitating towards Mega Lucario. This deck keeps the baby Lucario doubled up and opts for a 2/2 of Skull Fossil and Ramp for its main attacker.
For context:
Ramp + One Lucario - 150 DMG
Ramp + Two Lucario - 170 DMG
Ramp + Two Lucario + Arena of Antiquity - 190 DMG to EX
Ramp + Two Lucario + Arena + Korrina - 220 DMG to EX
All for the low low price of one single energy.
Supporters are there for the usual stuff, Bonsly is a great starter because it gains all of the same buffs Ramp does but for 0 energy, and keeps away the early game pressure while you search out your combo.
Hitting for a potential 100 with Bonsly or 110 with the new Riolu is funny. Can reasonably go toe to toe with anything in the meta and really fun to play.
