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.

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.

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 🥺

You've been conned.

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

Sad to hear Starmer cite changing the Labour Party as one of his major achievements. Sure, it's changed, in so far as everyone in it feels alienated and drained of hope but it's not very classy to brag about that.

Those of you in London today: This is TONIGHT! Drinks at 6:15pm, panel at 7pm, free to attend but please do sign up via the link below. Trump is taking a stand against ‘woke’ in the US — but what’s happening in the UK? And does technology help or hinder it?

Lovely day watching @carlosalcaraz.bsky.social at Queens.

If someone would have told me I’d be in the fashion pages of a national newsletter I am not sure I’d have believed them! www.theguardian.com/fashion/gall...

Both me and my painting were meme’d in i-D magazine i-d.co/article/roya...

Day 1 of a 2 day portrait drawing masterclass with Curtis Holder at @artacademy.bsky.social - a lovely chilled day.
