This one was tasty. Even though I had to stand in the rain to cook it.

For some reason, I enjoy doing portraits (which I can’t ever sell) rather than something more commercial. Here’s the latest.

First I was banned from X/Twitter. Then Facebook banned my newsletter. Then X/Twitter banned me permanently. Now YouTube disables my channel the week of my book launch. Was it something I said? 👉 www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

My completed #oilportrait of Liah. Done from life (4 hr session). Quite happy with how this feels.

Addicted to these long pose live portrait sessions. Getting a finished painting within the time is challenging but a lot of fun.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

So many shill news stories covering the Space-x launch. The booster crashed when engines failed. The “deployed” satellites were not released in orbit so immediately burned up. Nothing new happened.

Disappointed by the #mandalorian and Grogu movie. Some nice visuals ruined by a dull boiler-plate story executed as a live-action cartoon. Star Wars can be better than this.

For once, I’m pretty happy with a portrait done live. I have another long session this Sunday. Let’s see if I can do it again.

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.
If you want to avoid AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

One of the most challenging things to do as artist, is a long form portrait with a live sitter. Did that today in Sheffield. Not sure if I got a perfect likeness but enjoyed the process.

Been listening to the BBC Radio Adaptation of Lord of the Rings. Listened to it as a teenager. Some of it holds up really well. Only just worked out that Bill Nighy played Sam. (Not so keen on the singing tho.)

Project Hail Mary was a really entertaining movie. So very enjoyable, full of character and wit. In much the same way that Solo was not. Would have love to see how that movie might have been.

Every month I go to an all-day portrait session. With a model, proper lighting and about 5 hours of painting time. Pretty happy with the likeness this time. #oilportrait #allaprima

Yesterday we went for a nice walk near Peak Forest. Suddenly the weather changed and there was high winds driving rain followed by a hailstorm. The 7k walk back to the car was unthinkable. A kind Polish man gave us a lift into Bradwell.

River Westend. Oil on board. A4 landscape. Fun landscape painting in which I made a great many marks in a casual manner hoping they captured the scene realistically. #oilpainting #oillandscape #peakdistrict.
