I want this tray


I love this tray mostly due to Anne's luxuriant hair.

stagecraft at its best

Not every artist needs giant robots, aerial wires or trap doors to come in or out of in a puff of smoke at their live shows. Peter Gabriel opts for cycling in the round on his trusty two-wheel, yes, two-wheel! (very brave) bicycle. There's a camera on the handlebars for added drama. The crowd go wild! There is also a cup of tea by the keyboard. I hope it's Assam, for that is the most rock and roll of all the teas. It's a heavy brew, man.

Good things come in small, folded packages

Drawing by Mario Jambresic

Clay creatures by Masami Yamagiwa

By Guiseppe Bomparola

I'm not digging the new location for the Museum Of Everything's new exhibition - Selfridges is just wrong, wrong, wrong. But there are some real art gems - this time around made by people with various learning difficulties.
The work of Mario Jambresic was a good find. He draws solo male figures with pencils and crayons on paper, then folds the work up into a small piece and keeps it in his pocket until he is ready, sometimes after many months, to give it up and allow it to be displayed. Loved it.
