I’m suddenly into yellow in a big way. Have prepared four panels today, can’t wait to start slopping paint around. The annoying part of working with oil, is the waiting. #watchingpaintdry

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

'In this magnificent book, the first scholarly biography of Holbein in more than 100 years, art historian Elizabeth Goldring characterises the Cleves affair as a “debacle” but...points out that it was a rare misstep for Holbein, whose portraits...struck contemporaries as uncannily lifelike.'

This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

Had expected to enjoy Gilbert & George at the Hayward but hadn't anticipated it being as funny, powerful and moving as it was. Seeing their body of work drawn together had more impact than the handful I'd seen before, and I particularly admired their ability to laugh at themselves.
