A few months ago I was contacted by management for Harry Styles asking whether I would consider doing his portrait. I didn’t really know of his celebrity at the time so I said yes but I wish I hadn’t cause the whole thing has been a disaster.
He came to my holiday home in padstow and sat for two days but I only spent about 20 minutes on the picture in the end cause I had an issue with my russell hobbs fridge/freezer and so I had to defrost it and I realised there was some diced goat going off so I made massaman curry. Anyway I thought I’d done a good job of the pic but his management were quite cross and one of them said ‘it’s Harry Styles not Jeremy Beadle's face on a fucking egg’ and Harry just awkwardly kept saying it was an honour to meet me whilst not eating his curry. They didn't take the painting so I spoke to the National Portrait Gallery on the phone and they said they don’t take unsolicited submissions and it was hard to make a judgement on a call so I went in in person and the girl on the desk was really nice but said she wasn’t sure I was what they were looking for and she also said she didn’t want any goat massaman curry because she’s a vegetarian.
Honoured to have had my first show with the incredibly talented graduating BA Central Saint Martins class. Thank you for the opportunity @csm_news @LOrealParisUK and most importantly to Fanny Ljungberg for allowing me to present her garments in this year’s #bafcsm23
@CNN I’m genuinely terrified that so many people in the replies support capital punishment. Yes, what he did is horrible; however, nobody should have the power to choose whether somebody lives or dies. Just because it’s the state committing the exact same crime, doesn’t mean it’s ok.
@CNN Quite irresponsible posting such a title with today’s political climate. Don’t really feel like receiving a “This is not a drill” tweet from CNN in the midst of covid and Russia.
