My new oil paintings have a slightly gritty texture in the dark areas, which makes them almost impossible to photograph well. Endless thanks to photographer Julia Featheringill, who handles texture and glare better than anyone I know.

Sorry for the sap, but you have given me and my wife so much damn silly joy with these things over the past decade. We’ve bought so many postcards and bookmarks for our wall and for friends. You are a brilliant man and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please keep making them forever.
