As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.

My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.

I've always said that the only thing a photograph is good at capturing faithfully is another flat surface.

It takes a long time to make it simple.

I see the iPad as a wonderful new drawing medium, but I am at a loss as to how to make it pay.

I worked in the NHS as a hospital orderly during my national service, and people thought it was a noble service. But over the years it's lost its humanity.

The problem is, photographic dyes and printing inks aren't as good as paint, actually.
