My Da was an artist.

Many memories of the angst.

Titz Towers, North Notts

Writer, I suppose. I've had a book published and some research articles, but it all sounds grander than it is and was a long time ago.

Canis Testiculum leaves little to savour but I'm no critic.

i wrote some poetry back in the 80s but it was probably dreadful, mind you I read a book of what was supposed to be some classic English poetry and some of that was seriously garbage

Let's just say it varies from the boring to the bonkers. Leaning a little more to the latter.

Most of the time. The current one is a bit of a slog but that's mostly because I'm looking forward to the next one already. And I keep getting distracted.

I'd say I'm an artist (photographer) but it took 15 years to name myself one. Working in the advertising world brought upon a jaded view on what's art and what's commercialism, only to realise it doesn't matter.

Thank you. It's been an age old discussion really starting from being asked to leave the Tate other what I deemed constructive criticism at a contemporary exhibition in the late 90's. Maybe I was a little too constructive

I can relate to this, although I've dealt with it by weaving my own maverick "outsider" way around being both a contemporary 'conceptual' artist and a spiritual 'romantic' artist...forging together the worlds of art and commercialism in ways that work for me. Neither, on their own, do it for me...it's when they come together that things get interesting for me

What Colour is the wind? Copyrights Reserved.

Why do people complain?

About the wet stuff the rain

Without it the grass would not be green

On the horizon trees would not be seen

Rain seems to promote all our troubles

But without it there would be no puddles

So we really should stop complaining

When next we wake and it’s raining

There is something about snow

The White stuff and I think we know

It reminds us of playful frolics

Of being cold and the drinking of Horlicks

Games on sledges and balls made to fight

Of a cold dark winters night

But its gone too soon all of a rush

To use up the fun before it becomes slush

I heard a question once which made me gasp!

What colour is the wind a man did ask

Strange I thought I must surely take note

The next time the wind is caught in the sail of a boat

Captured, with no where to go

Think of a colour, red green or even indigo

But why ask a question of this kind

Simple he said I am actually blind

We all want the sun to shine forever

No rain or wind or snow not ever

But without these companions of the sun in the sky

All we would do is sit in the sun and roundly fry

These companions should be celebrated not to mock

If we didn’t have them we would use all the sun block

Sunbathing would be subject to a total ban

Because by then we would all have a lovely tan!

Suppose what I am saying in a round about way

That our weather is gorgeous and here to stay

Subject that is to the phenomena of Global Warming

And opinions on that are still forming

But celebrate the rain wind and snow

The sun takes care of itself in a self-righteous glow

So Jump in Puddles and from snowballs hide

The colour of the wind? Look and you decide
