This was a super interesting biography to write recently. Lots of detective work to piece little bits together from all over.

(Featured in Did You Know on 28th December.)
Was prompted to write this article after spotting Wills' blue plaque on a run in Liverpool recently.
"Did you know that music manager Alan Wills learned about management from his father, who was 'in charge of the UK's nuclear early warning system'?"

Love it when this happens! Got a Google Alert that someone's used a photo I took and shared on Wikimedia Commons 😎
This time: someone = Canadian running magazine, photo = Palo Alto Parkrun in 2022.

Another John Moores Prize winner on Wikipedia's main page today: "Did you know that artist Dan Hays uses what he calls 'the tactile, flawed and time-consuming medium of painting' to reproduce the effect of a low-resolution JPEG?"

I went on a spree of writing Wikipedia pages about artists in December, partly with the goal of ensuring all winners of the John Moores Painting Prize had entries.
So, this is the first of a handful of upcoming Did You Know features.

Not a John Moores Prize winner, but I did see his exhibition at the Bluecoat last year, so still a tangential Liverpool connection ;)
"Did you know that Babak Ganjei tried to sell a painting of his credit card to Barclays?"
