Peter Max sells paintings that are photocopies pasted on canvas then painted over. Some people consider this art, some people don’t.
As an artist I see this as a ‘doss’ – northern English expression for something very easy (walkover) to do. Also known as ‘Nice work if you can get it.’.
I don’t think this art is [...]

February 3, 2010Portrait of a Musician
I’m now available to do portraits and paintings of the happy couple at weddings – I’m a romantic at heart so I’d like to capture the look of love between people. It’ll be very inspiring to look at and remember over the years.
If you have a query about getting your/someone else’s portrait done, [...]

Sad to Sell
December 11, 2009
I just sold another painting (very similar to the above, which disappeared/got stolen during a house move) and of course it’s a good thing, but I always feel sad about giving up my babies. I wonder if other artists tend to feel the same way?
Art Basel
December 11, 2009Art Basel has just come and gone again in Miami. Last year I got exhausted seeing lots of art and attending lots of events and thought a lot of the ‘art’ I saw was crap. This year I didn’t bother much with Art Basel but I saw some artists that I liked. I hope it [...]
