Gestapo: Did you do this? (Gestapo points to 'Guernica') Picasso: No, you did.

Because there are so many other problems with his face?

If we had reason to be outraged before by the murder of Renee Nicole Good, video showing the deadly ICE agent spewed "f**king bitch" after shooting her makes even more clear this man belongs in jail--& this masked & armed police state must come to an end. The Trump regime defending this is criminal.

This needs to end. They’re not treating humans like humans. Enough.

I, for one, cannot understand why men like Rupert Lowe are opposed to banning X, despite it assisting sex offenders, paying people to invite the foreign powers to invade the U.K, and allowing state-sponsored cyber warfare against our democracy. It's a real mystery...🤔

One thing that shouldn't be missed is that the woman murdered was queer and was murdered right in front of her wife. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

Bloody hell. Stranger Things… a little bit of a spoiler… but that coming out scene 😭😭😭

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

Happy Eve Eve!

Latest art project coming together…

They will never get tired of playing this record until you get tired of listening.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’ Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’ Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

Miles and miles of Diego Rivera murals…

Save the date for next exhibition-theme is WORSHIP - FALSE GODS. London Feb 19th @ 7:30pm.

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords. Like if she needs to go. RT if she has to go.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I’m working on a new idea that needed an actual beating heart. I’ve had to learn a lot about animatronics. Needs a silicone skin and then the rest of the installation. #art

OTD 10/31/1962 WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? opened in theaters. Instant cult classic status! Crawford as Blanche: You wouldn't be able to do these awful things to me if I weren't still in this chair. Davis as Baby Jane: But cha AAH, Blanche, ya AAH in that chair! #filmsky 📽

Hitler had a large ball room/ reception hall built at the Old Reich Chancellery in Berlin This was part of a major renovation of the building after he became Chancellor. It was designed by Albert Speer and completed in 1939

“Le Pont de l'Espoir" (The Bridge of Hope), after Caillebotte (2nd image). A painting responding to the ongoing debate about how to interpret Calllebotte's Le Pont de l'Europe. My version imagines how it might have looked in a world without gay shame. #caillebotte

Anyone here from Paris? I have an art show opening on Sunday evening in the heart of La Marais.

Making a collage then painting it. Art school life! #art

This new Kerry James Marshall exhibit at the Royal Academy in London looks amazing.

New painting - “Sancta Regina”, oil on canvas, 60”x48”. This is a portrait of @rhiansongs.bsky.social — a singer who grew up in the church as the son of a pastor — reimagined with the grandeur of religious ceremony through a queer lens.

New 60 x 48” oil on canvas painting. Study of @giuseppeclaudio.bsky.social #fineart

Sketch of Juda sleeping.

Tried photo etching today based on old drawings I’d already created. Lots more to learn but a fun start.

New painting on the go… #art

Tiny self-portrait painted in acrylics of me visiting the last day of the Caravaggio exhibition with his Narcissus painting in the background. I was wearing TM Davy’s trans fundraiser t-shirt. About 7x9cm.

Deeply concerned that changes to trans rights could be approved without MPs or the public seeing details. This risks undermining accountability on issues affecting lives and freedoms. Proposals must face scrutiny before approval. Everyone deserves to know what’s being decided in their name.

Tiny watercolour sketch of Juda at the Fife Arms in front of a painting by Peter Bruegel the Junior

What’s on the easel.

The first politicised human rights reports by the US have been published. I won’t link them. I am appalled. No longer a serious document. See the conclusion on El Salvador by the US - and compare to that of Amnesty International.

Letter of the day (in the Times)

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

An oil sketch of Charity Kase, who was on Ru Paul Drag Race UK #oilpainting

Impressive.

Great few days in Italy on a Caravaggio pilgrimage

“Test Model”. I used my partner as a stand in to set up studio lighting to get a perfect Rembrantian triangle. Charcoal on paper. #art #charcoaldrawing

Getting very close to calling this finished. What do you think? It’s charcoal on A1 paper #art

Fabulous evening watching TalkArt by Russell Tovey and Robert Diament talk all things Hamad Butt at his Whitechapel exhibition.

What a fun day at Wimbledon with my sis. Thank goodness for the portable aircon. Still roasting though. Poor Carlos 🥺

The National Portrait Gallery has a public vote for the favourite painting - if you like my painting please give me a vote 🤓 www.npg.org.uk/whatson/exhi... #art #portraitpainting

You've been conned.

Crazy few days as my painting is included in London’s National Portrait Gallery Portrait Award exhibition #art #portraitpainting
