Media madness for the bored and restless
Glass is an incredible medium isn’t it? It is beautifully delicate, but also able to withstand incredible heat and pressure and initially comes from sand. Bet you don’t think of that as you are filling your tumbler with gin… or water (whatever is more acceptable at whatever time of day you are reading this). This... Continue Reading →
It's that time of the month that I have an article published on Parkstone International. You can find the article here
When Douglas Adams wrote that the meaning of life was 42, he says that he wrote it as a joke, but what he also did was make the hypothetical giant and all knowing computer within his book, tell the world that the meaning of life was whatever you want it to be. 42 in ASCII... Continue Reading →
I write an awful lot about religion, simply because I am fascinated by it, but by far one of my most popular articles is about the fall of Lucifer. It isn't even a particularly in depth article, but I think that the reason it does so well, is actually like me, many people are intrigued... Continue Reading →
Did you know that the fear of belly buttons is called omphalophobia? I can't really imagine being afraid of, what is essentially a scar which reminds you of your own creation, but I don't like people on stilts, so each to their own. Michelangelo, was a bit of a rock star of art, having the... Continue Reading →
It's that time of the month where my Scandal article gets published on the Parkstone International website. You can find the article here Let me know what you think.
I have done quite a few articles recently about how humanity and nature intertwine, potentially making me seem a bit "mother earthish". I am definitely not that, sure I like to think that the world could be a harmonious place, where nature and humans skip along hand in hand, nobody hunts endangered animals, and we...

Peacocks are beautiful aren't they. I have recently had one tattooed on my leg as there is so much symbolism that surrounds them, they are vain and showy, but also deemed as royalty and a protector because of the association with with Hera from Greek mythology. When I saw this picture I was obviously drawn... Continue Reading →
I write about a lot of art, but I always prefer writing about something I have seen in person, rather than looking at a photo that has been taken of it, and on the most part I have been lucky enough to see a good percentage of them. It allows me to see the true... Continue Reading →
Life is a funny old game isn’t it. The old adage is that there are only two things that are certain in life and that is death and taxes. I think that there are a few more certainties myself; like I can guarantee that if I drop a piece of toast on the floor it... Continue Reading →
I have had another article published through Parkstone International. You can find it here.
I have been ever so slightly drawn to images of the cycle of life recently, which I am sure that you have noticed through the artwork that has been displayed on here. On seeing this picture, I realised that other than roadkill which I whizz past in my car, I rarely see dead animals anymore,... Continue Reading →
You know, I saw a tweet the other day which was encouraging people to stop following influencers on social media and to start following artists, as influencers tend to drive poor self image in people (because they are always picture perfect, tanned, primed for looking their best) and make the younger generation aspire to a...

Artists throughout the ages have been drawn to the anatomy of the living. Many artists through the centuries would have, what we would probably deem as morbid fascinations as they would strive to peak their artistic techniques to hone a true rendition of the living. They would attend autopsies, even steal limbs of the dead... Continue Reading →
It has been an absolute age since I have written about anything remotely mythy, so unashamedly, I admit, that after re-watching the first season of "American Gods" (fantastic series, I recommend watching...or read the book), I felt the urge to dust off my mythy geekdom and have a bash at trying to explain a tiny...

We all have demons, those skeletons in the closet, that sneak up on us and can make us react in the most peculiar ways. For some they will try and understand, for others they will only scratch the surface, as it may be too hard or incomprehensible for them to take in the feelings that... Continue Reading →
Quite often people find art just a viewing interesting, which is where I think the feeling that a lot of people don't understand it, because they look it at, try and understand what the artist was trying to say, rather than what the piece means to them as a viewer and then it is quickly... Continue Reading →
There have been a lot of “artsy” films that have come out recently, which is great for me as it gives me more to write about on here and is equally something that is totally accessible to anyone who is an avid reader, as you can go away and watch them, rather than having to... Continue Reading →
I would seriously love to make writing my full time job, it has become a bit of a passion of mine, but sadly I am not at the stage where it will pay the bills. Especially as some days are just so full of ugliness in my "actual" job that it can be a real... Continue Reading →
Parkstone have published one of my articles that I revamped for them. You can find it here. Would be awesome if you guys went and showed it some love on the Parkstone Website.

I write about a lot of artwork, but I don't usually write about the building that contains them. This is either because I am so overwhelmed by the work contained, or that the building is not that exciting. One of my first articles that I wrote for Parkstone International was about the opening of the... Continue Reading →
Politics is a terrible business. I am sure that there are plenty of politicians who started out with great intentions, but those good intentions get lost along the way, which brings megalomania and corruption in to play. Ok, so I am in the UK and the worst that I see is a sever lack of... Continue Reading →
There is something intrinsically beautiful about raw emotion. Ok, it can be hard to deal with if it is directed at you, but when it is used in an expression of artistic intent, it gives the viewer or reader an honest and open idea of what the artist was feeling at the time of creation. ...

When I was a kid, I really struggled to get my head around things happening at the same time if I couldn't see it happening. For example, I would get dropped off at my grandmothers while my parents worked. I would spend the day playing in her garden, or making cakes with her, and generally... Continue Reading →
Another cheeky piece that I wrote for Parkstone International:- https://parkstone.international/2019/01/14/shelleys-art-musings-there-is-more-to-whistler-than-his-mother/
It's not a secret... I love anything with skulls on it. I have numerous pieces of art and sculpture around my house of skulls, as they are infinitely interesting. So it's not surprising that I am drawn to the work of Billelis. His dark gothic style combines a lot of my own interests in visuals... Continue Reading →
I know I have been incredibly quiet over the last month, but hopefully you will appreciate why. I have been off on my travels and one of the stops was to see the new Louvre in Abu Dhabi. This was one of the most amazing experiences which has inspired me greatly and given me a... Continue Reading →
Think that I have been quiet? Well I have been on holiday getting inspired... which means I have a lot to write about over the coming weeks. In the mean time, I have had an article published with Parkstone, and you can find it here
