Ok folks, ask yourselves, is this Someone Famous?. The vibe back in Oz is 50/50. We know not the truth. Feel free to post your thoughts in teh comments section...Daniel Tehan, old amigo of thomasr arrived for a few days and it seems a fine time was had by all. The ladies of NYC seem to still find the idea of an Australian artist amusing, if only on a superficial level. But who knows, perhaps it

Your host, The Rey knows a guy who doubled for this guy. That's cool shit right there.. Just finished job as stuntman on a miller beer commercial - bullshitted my ass off to get it, then pulled off a 40 ft free climb up a building 35 times - fell once. The stunt co-ordinator has been Sean Connery's stunt double for the last 20 years. Cooool mutha-fuckin dude. Right onto me, but cool. I rocked.

London is generally.... lovely. Springtime and the flowers and trees are in full bloom, blossoms giving way to leaves now. It is a very pretty city on the right day.

Gentle readers- Please forgive the absence of contact for the past couple of months; I blame the wilds of the Mediterranean... and have just arrived back in London. Spain treated me well in a number of ways, not least of all painting. I was very busy and had a number of successes, including a small exhibition.

One exciting part of the evening: Shelley at de Soto gallery had a painting stolen during the middle of the reception. Apparently some guy tucked it under his shirt and took off down the hall. I saw Shelley and her friend running after the guy. Fortunately they caught him but the artist didn't press charges and just let him go. Can you believe it? Shelly said she was a combination of flustered or

I left a blizzard in NY for the blue skies of California... quite a change. Preps for the show are going well- I am framing a work, a series of blocks (18) I painted in NY. They look good. The big diptych arrived safe and well, and I spent last night stretching it - the proof of the pudding, so to speak - and all went swimmingly!
