@GigaBasedDad Companies pretending to offer a in-house specialist service when in fact they outsource the jobs to unqualified freelancers.

[Gordon Mckenna Studio @GordonMckennaA]

We need legislation that differentiates between companies that are providing in-house services and those that are outsourcing!

"Self portrait" lithography print on paper. Approx 1998. I would have been 20 when I made this. We were using a metal plate. I'd still love to work with stone one day.

"Cottage garden" oil on canvas approx 1991. The wonderful thing about gardens in South Africa is that they just grew despite terrible neglect. I deeply miss this kind of wild overgrown slightly out of control feel of these spaces.

"Cut flowers" oil on canvas approx 1991. The only time I have ever painted a still life of flowers.

"Richards Cafe" Pietermarizburg, once the capital city of South Africa now basically a university town. Richard, a fellow student started this coffee house in the oldest part of the town centre. Richard still has this painting in his home 33 years after I painted it

I'd love to know more about the architecture of this house I lived in in South Africa. It's not Victorian or Cape Dutch. Could it be English Arts and Crafts or Aesthetic style? Maybe a Mediterranean influence? Please comment if you have any thoughts.

@elonmusk X isn't free speech it's political sloganeering!

You see a house that fascinates you, then one day years later you end up moving in there. It was was a fitting place to end my 23 years in Africa.

Why does equality between the sexes get turned into, let's exclude men and teach them a lesson?

@jk_rowling @HazelAppleyard_ Men, young men will continue to die in war while you theorise on the value of a penis.

I think one of the most interesting things that I have discovered about London is that people come here to live extraordinary lives. The problem is that the lengths they go to fulfil that idea often kills them.

Bumped into this guy, in the shop, that I was seeing a bit of just over a year ago. Had to call it off because he wanted me to start taking Tina with him. He looks 10 years older. His hand shook as he reached out for the stuff on the shelves. It's kind of torn me up a bit.

"Victorian digs" 1990. Etching. Experimented with collagin elements from this house onto one image in an attempt to give a better feeling of the space.

All these beautiful men I've met are dying by the drugs they're taking. It breaks my heart!

"The cottage" probably started life as a shed. A bathroom, no kitchen. Damp not secure, quaint and charming, surrounded by a fantastic garden. Subscribe to my email for more information. Click link in bio.

@jk_rowling It's not misogyny on the rise its a fight for the right to work, be seen, be not cancelled at the drop of a hat!
