These are the Islands that have been named so far, these islands have owners, I am simply the care taker until they are needed. Some are owned by people I know who requested one via twitter, some are owned by fictional and historical characters.
Other Stuff

I think I have sort of, almost cracked it with the kitty cats new insulin, which is a relief. Not that she is totally stable, but she is close enough that she wont relax into an everlasting sleep, just yet.

The last couple of weeks or so have been pretty exciting and busy, which I like. A couple of new responsibilities came my way and I am really happy to have them. I am also about to register as self employed, which at first I thought was really scary....but actually its really dull. Some fear would vastly improve its reputation.

I have started a new painting series Moss Haired Girls and I have been thinking a lot about this blog and the general theme that has emerged, so I started another blog (of course) Great Loves, its a tumblr of images that are related to the texts I have been reading and will lead to a large painting series (with a working title of Love Stories) . The back ground to which is all on this blog really. So thats handy Harry.

Snow Patrol's new album is out tomorrow. I may wait til Christmas to get it though, but here are the two singles from it.
Currently Reading
First Love - Ivan Turgenev
Deviant Love - Sigmund Freud

(still reading Ayn Rands Fountainhead which I am slowly enjoying)

    Contemporary artist, mainly painting.

    I am interested in the fragments of stories that can be found in historical images. I make paintings and assemble them to create new stories of mystery, romance and drama. Hinting at the old and more recent. The Nostalgic and romantic.

    The Delicate risqué images of Victorian postcards, the circus, erotic and romantic text: Old photographs and stories, like these, allow our imaginations to tease at the edges of the scene and the long gone strangers depicted.

    I am also currently exploring romantic and erotic texts which is forming the main theme of the work on this blog
