I really hope for all our neighbouring Brummies that their council SORT THIS out rapidly. I passed through some of the worst hit streets there recently visiting pals and it really is shocking when you see it in person.

The Gareth Southgate lecture on how we should enable our youngsters to engage more in activities and less in online activities is one of the most eloquent ways of describing the problem and prescribing the solution. I hope more folk like Gareth stand up.

Saw this recently:
55 senior managers/chief officers earn combined £5.5 million per yr, many £100k plus.
Whilst 150 regular bin collectors had pay cut of £8k per yr (cut of £1.2 million).
Not sure on source, BUT if correct, perhaps ‘pay problem’ is not the refuse collectors.

Recent painting is a nod to the ‘Arcade Toy Shop’ (or ‘Toys Am We’). It was in Dudley for nearly 100 years until 2022. I don’t post any artwork here anymore (sorry, but can’t opt out of AI training on art here) but if you’re on other places too, you can catch it there.

Might not be a white Christmas.
But these BIG canvas panels surely will be (and the studio floor by the looks of it).
Prepping, prepping and more prepping…

I’ve got a collection coming soon called ‘Down The Road’. A series of paintings paying homage to the local. I’m not posting art here anymore (can’t opt out of AI trawling posts) but if you are on other platforms I’ll post some there. Ta!
