On 11 June I will be having my very first exhibition of paintings. Entitled ‘Dead’, the theme of the work is singers or musicians who have all died tragically young. All of the work has been painted in watercolour over a three-month period.
There will be an opening night even at 6:00 pm Friday on 14 June at the Hastings Arts Forum. Being quite nervous about something I’ve never done before I’d appreciate as much moral support as possible.
It would be really good if you could Tweet this page or put it up on other forms of social media, FaceBook, Instagram, etc. I need as much support as I can get.
Below are a few examples of my work.
Might be included in my upcoming exhibition in Hastings 11-23 June.

Meanwhile, here’s a piece I wrote on the same day for the British Boxers website. It’s about the upcoming Mayweather-McGregor fiasco.
