Taking an afternoon stroll. The orange vendor selling oranges from Sichuan - its my favourite time of year. It's still warm and the sky is a glorious blue. You can see the apartment blocks we live in in Pic 3. And finally the later afternoon winter sun lights up the trees. #China #Wenzhou #Life

#stunday A huge Figus (Banyan) tree in a local community, near where I live, around 800 years old. These trees are venerated and protected and in the hot summers provide protective and cooling shade.

All of a sudden the whole faculty has been "invited" to mandatory attendance at a "Sexual Harassment Workshop/lecture". Thats Fine, but now of course the questions are Why? and Who is the reason we have to attend this? Gossip antennas are being extended. #academicsky

#stunday Christmas is switched on at our local shopping mall in Wenzhou, China. The Chinese love Christmas - not for the sake of Jesus, but for the sake of mammon. But fair play it is a stunning event, fake snow and all. #china #Christmas #xmas (Yesterday -Saturday 29 Nov)

Scanning ones art work is the hidden boring side of the work. Why do I always leave it until I have a pile that takes hours? Curtains are closed cos here in Wenzhou on 29 November it's around 20c and the sun is streaming through the window over heating my Mac. #art #artyear #artwork

The Sounds of Fascism - me reading my own poem about American Politics to students during the Poetry Club a colleague and I organise at the university I work at. #poem #poetry #politics

Recently, in a training workshop, colleagues recommended playing music in class arguing students felt more relaxed and comfortable when doing in-class work, not when actually teaching. I tried using this and students seemed to like it & seemed more engaged. #music #teaching youtu.be/0uIUWoh2AVo?...

Guerilla #art with white board markers on the computer console desk top whilst bored during a class when students were doing in class work. And the resulting stain left on said console top. Strangley it won't wash off. I guess Banks had the same problem. #artyear #Eastcoastkin

Some christmassy art I've been doing recently Book marks and cards most of the images are generic to be fair. I'm not very Christmassy so seek inspiration where I can. Ho ho ho. #Art #Xmas #artyear #Eastcoastkin #Christmas

#UrbanGaze - A street view of Wenzhou, China. Notice the large church to the rear left of the image. Religion is not banned in #China despite the anti-China mythmakers saying so. Also notice the space quite different from the crowded dystopian apartments blocks usually shown by said "commentators"

RIP Jimmy Cliff - Many years ago travelling through Botswana we were stopped at a military checkpoint. A soldier with a gun was rummaging through my stuff and wanting half of it. I gave him my Jimmy Cliff tape which satisfied him and let us go. Thanks Jimmy for the #music youtu.be/MrHxhQPOO2c?...
