I need your help. For some reason I can't remember the name of this chap.

So, here is a lovely thing, written by my omni-collaborator Gillian. We are part of the Turner Prize programme.

Shitbags are going to shitbag. At this stage, it feels awfully like the sort of people who don't understand that no means no.

My little sister found a bunch of medium format negatives at a car boot sale and, knowing what I'm like, asked me to have a look. Here are my favourites so far... #foundnegatives #mediumformat #blackandwhite #filmphotography #photography

What absolute toss in the independent. This should never have made it past an editor. It's reckless and divisive.

The King in Yellow, 2026

a photograph of some yellow flowers. really. it's rather unremarkable.

I suppose the shallow focus is nice in a blurry, dreamy sort of way.

Honestly, it was the colour I wanted to capture, but even now it feels like it has sifted through my fingers like sand, leaving a gritty reminder of my own inability.

Street light, not street light, 2026

A photograph where the sun (reflected from a nearby building) lights up a spot next to a lamp post.

In the fore ground are some bollards. A lot of straight lines here, many vertical but also a horizontal assemblage in the bricks behind.

there's a sort of cross-hatched texture to it all, rendered rather angelic with a soft halo.

If you read this, let me know. There's a small prize.

@firefox.com Is this for real? Very disappointing if true. Imagine leaving because of the fascism and hatred and then choosing to go back.

I've spent the last few months animating a thing, The Lightbulb Moment. Probably the most intense thing I've ever done. Anyway, I type this as the final render is cooking, which means I'm only four final renders away from being nearly finished.

Last saw Hockney's work at Saltaire a few years ago. Honestly, it was a mixed bag. But I also got the feeling he was making art for the purest reason, for himself. Some enterprising yoof was encouraged to make art.

A painting of David Hockney that has had a googly eye stuck to it.
