- And (art) chicks for free, no doubt
My traditional James North Art Crawl post is still in the works (who knew that cannelloni was such a time-consuming labour?) but as a consolation prize, I’d like to direct you to a real eye-opener of a post at Artworld Salon.
Jamie Oliver’s Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni.

- David Shrigley’s Pringle of Scotland animation
Among the many Scottish artists I came to appreciate and sometimes adore during my time in Glasgow, David Shrigley always managed to stand out by stint of his underwhelming style in the midst of the high-concept conversation happening around him. His drawings are simple and wryly comical - think of a slightly more rude Marcel […]

Red, naturally, with a cellophane window offering a tempting view of an empty gold tray complete with empty, heart-shaped wells where each truffle once sat in symmetry with each other before they fell victim […]
- The Rothko Room
I’m having a sick day of sorts, and as such decided to finally dig into the new novel I bought a few weeks back, The Late Hector Kipling by David Thewlis. As some of you may be aware, Thewlis is an actor first and foremost (artsy types might recall his Cannes-winning performance in […]
