Held a one night private show at a members club in South Kensington, London The Firehouse.

We had the first floor bar and terrace area from 6-11pm (Thurs, 24 June, 2010). About 18 framed pieces (originals & prints) were displayed in the two rooms and the terrace.

About 150 people attended with 100 free Pimms drinks for early guests. The show was great fun and a professional success.

Above: “Chelse Dub”, green & black ballpoints and green & blue spray paints on card, 2008. The bush and pot are in ballpoint biro & the designs either side are spray paint stencils. One of my most time consuming pieces due to the thousands of leaves that i drew one at a time, first in black ballpoint, then in green (detail below). The original sold in 2009. Now there is an edition of 50 prints available at 20″ x 24″ size. Left is one of the prints on a frame.
The print is available here on a new Art & Culture Editions web site that has launched (http://www.aceditions.com).

Had to post this. Who said graffiti is ugly - I guess this kind of scene would be a dividing line between people who can sense the creative energy, culture, and colour that graffiti can bring and those who can’t stand it… I think it’s almost beautiful.
Found the image from a great site that is constantly updated with people saving interesting images, quite a good source for inspiration. The site is FFFound.com

Below is a photo of the largest biro drawing I’ve ever done (almost 2m wide, 2007, sold). Put your mouse over the image and click twice on the plus button to zoom in, then click and drag the image to explore it.

New (north London) urban art gallery, Gallery 90, have dedicated a wall for some of my artworks. they are also selling some of my prints. They have just opened and haven’t even done their proper press releases yet, but are already shifting lots of work. Apparently the art editor for The Times (Richard Brookes) was in there the other day, he was according to the gallery quite impressed with my drawings - never a bad thing!
They have an online store as well (on their web site).
A lot of the art they sell are stencils buy a range of artists, some of whom were in the Cannes Festival (organized by Banksy by Waterloo last summer). Also selling some funky sculpture and now biro drawings by James Mylne!

An insightful, recent article on alJazeeramanages to fairly explain the background of why Tibet is so hard for China to let go of. Tibet matters to China for many reasons, most of which do not throw positive light on China itself. Tibet (in my opinion) matters dearly to the world for positive and increasingly desperate reasons. More specifically the Tibetan culture, it’s Buddhist teachings and it’s past.

Tibet was a monastic society, where 1 in 5 people were practicing monks. In our society more than 1 in 5 people have a criminal record! I’m sure you see my point. It would/ is becoming a tragedy that Tibetan values/culture/spiritual teachings/ancient knowledge are being slowely drowned out by the Chinese “integration”.
The BBC web site has put up a slide show with audio documenting his flight into exile from the Chinese.
In the 1997 film by Martin Scorcesse Kundun (Kundun was the Dali Lama’s name), the young Dali Lama leaves Tibet for India (fleeing the Chinese invasion), before he leaves he says “I see a safe passage. I see a safe return” (in below video). I have always hoped (along with almost everyone else) that he will one day return to Tibet. Now with the Dalai Lama getting old, and the Chinese remaining stubborn and paranoid, the likely hood is fading. With it is fading the benefits that the generous wisdom of the Dali Lama spreading to the wider world. Below is the moving ending from the film Kundun depicting his departure from Tibet. Loss of this knowledge and culture would be a loss for the whole world.

The Buddhas neither wash ill deeds away with water, nor remove beings’ sufferings with their hands, nor transfer their realizations to others.
Beings, are released through the teachings of the truth.
The final reality.
