I am looking forward to 2012 . Especially in terms of work. What I am not looking forward to is the continuing recession which is set to deepen. The Government will tell us how to eat healthily in the Age of Austerity. Celebrity chefs will instruct us in the art of making nourishing meals from scraps and leftovers.

The next step will be to reintroduce post war bomb sites. The unemployed and feckless could be made to work on this type of heritage landscaping. Children could be encouraged to run around making World War Two noises.

Astonishingly wealthy people will tell us how to be happy while we ourselves struggle day to day on reduced incomes.

Get the London look.

Towards an image of peace, ongoing.

Certain types of artist develop in times such as these. One thinks of Punk Graphics, Dada, as well as the American Depression era W.P.A initiative.

This year I intend to make as much work as possible , my aims are reasonably clear , at least to myself.
