I love this.
An exchange on twitter. controlla.xyz: If you hate Al you probably just hate art and expression It's an infinite mashup of all the best art ever made by humans lesliejandersonwriter: If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking. It's an infinite mashup of all the best food made by humans!

Started a small demo sketch of Shoko for my weekly Friday morning #sculpture class at @the_art_stables - feels so good to be working in clay again.

Also here are a few works that caught my eye at the Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Portrait Award exhibition at the NPG too - definitely worth a visit, especially because it is free entry!

A few works from the amazing Jenny Saville exhibition currently on at the NPG in London - well worth a visit! These paintings and drawings are absolutely HUGE - photos really can't do them justice.

“Aye aye captain” 😜

One of my generous students kindly gave me a little set of 6 x Senelier oil pastels so I have tried them out on this sketch of my eye - they feel like butter!
