PROFILE:

HI I AM PAUL THE ART GUY!
I write stories and songs, sometimes poetry (eventually started doing this again after having given it up at 14 to leave more time for masturbation!) i paid for an aptitude for bits of the arts with a general and wide ranging ineptitude when it comes to normal human tasks. “Oh well, what the hell!” sang Mcwatt (this is from catch 22; which remains the best book in the universe. if you feel the same way email me and i will MARRY YOU. Or. Err. Buy you a muffin).
I read a lot. Weird big historical books through to comics. The best reason to live forever is to read everything that has ever been written. And then start again at the bottom of the pile.
Apart from painting I have a side-line in cat straightening – an uncommon skill that i learned in a dzong in Bhutan. One day I hope to have a young apprentice and the balance of straight cats in the universe will be in perfect harmony…
(i am still grieving over the loss of SPG – Special Patrol Group, my Burmese cat full time compatriot and best friend. she would follow me round the house and sit on my shoulder when I went to the shops and… oh man. getting sad again. my friends are s’posed to be getting me a li’l kitten for my birthday, but I don’t think I can ever hope to replace her. the cat is dead! long live the cat!)

and…
whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. for there is no wisdom, nor device, nor work, in the grave. wither thou goest.’
LIVE BY THAT QUOTE.

i do. or try to.

Paul paints the female figure with great sensitivity. The way he captures the light against thier curves brings his work to life. He uses oil, watercolour, photography and also dabbles in other mediums such as bitumen. His work is truly inspired and he shares his inspiration within the descriptions of his work. The practice of making art does not end with putting paint to canvas, it is the whole process he is interested in, from inspiration to poetry, prose and music.

swinging between intensely dark, and capturing beauty, some of your words and works are quite confronting…your work would suggest that you are true to your quote..one of the great artists in this bubble
