This is my first piece of ‘art’. It’s a photo-painting hybrid I made on my iPad.

I focused on the face, not wanting to show pain or fear, but that equilibrium that exists beyond it.

I also wanted to get the overall effect of being ‘consumed’ by the sun.

He is falling backwards, looking straight into the sun as he descends, bathed in all it’s golden glory.

More on Icarus’ tragic tale here.

Detail from a statue at the British Museum.

‘Trafalgar Sun’ – stopped by to see the installation at Trafalgar Square.

Still one of my favourite adverts EVER. To me, this is not an Ad … It’s art. I wish all advertising was this emotive.

Directed by Jonathan Glazer in 1999, the advert won numerous awards at the time.

The pounding soundtrack is called ‘Phat Planet’ by Leftfield. You can find out more about the ad here

They don’t make them like this anymore.

This is one of my favourite paintings by Alexandre-Georges-Henri Regnault entitled “Automedon with the Horses of Achilles”.

The horses, although foaming at the mouth, are not wild, they are grieving. Both immortal, the horses Xanthos and Balious were given to Achilles’ parents as a gift from Poseidon and pulled the young hero’s chariot during the Trojan war. When Achilles was mortally wounded, the horses were inconsolable, and it is Automedon, Achillies’ charioteer, who tries to console them.

Three different apples changed the world. The one eaten by Eve, the one that hit Newton, the one created by Steve Jobs.

My most expensive app purchase to date. Korg iMA-20 synth studio for iPad. Really getting into the whole songwriting thing.

Bjork better watch her back. Just saying.

I’m about to set in motion something I have been planning for awhile.

To say I’m excited is an understatement. After months (years, actually) of complaining, I’m finally doing something about it.

So easy to forget that we are the creators of our own story.

Updates to follow soon.
