My Dear BM,
Just as I am the ravaged land left in your wake, you are the shadow left in mine of a morning. As the sun brings light in to the bathroom I can say goodbye to the nightmares and the anxiety, and flush the waste away, the exhausted energy consumed in fretting. Some say that dreaming...

My Dear Friend,
With the start of a New Year, we, on a personal level, begin a new era. As I have repeatedly insisted, I’ve made great effort to remain polite at all times and have struggled in my attempts to not yield to the baser aspects of my nature during my dealings with you, the financ... Comment - Like

I grew up enjoying Tim Hunkin's wonderful invention drawings each week in the Sunday Observer Magazine. If you should ever make it to Covent Garden, in London. There is a small museum of his work you must visit. I believe the lady is Joanna Lumley, from the British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous.Subscri... Comment - Like

Maurice Vlaminck-The CircusDear Bouncy BM,
This is my SHUT UP letter. I tried it out first on an unsuspecting crowd and they were so loud I had to repeatedly yell: “Shut up! Shut up!” I must admit it was quite exhilarating in its own way but that said it verged on the rude. Anyway here, wi... Comment - Like

I'm a one person art collective. One division works in the creative department where short stories are written, artists are reviewed, and art is made, and the other in the financial sector where angry, whiney, satirical letters are addressed to the Bank Manager, and art is dismayed...very dismayed.
