@PaddyGalbraith @Countrylifemag Congratulations, Patrick! Looking forward to it very much.

I loved researching and writing this for @Theopenartfair and am now saving up to buy as many enamel objets as possible. Who doesn’t want a decorative pickle from the 1800s on their shelf?

Take a short stroll through the colourful, curious world of antique enamels. @GTOpoppy what a delight!

Now that kids are back to school and crowds at Tate Modern are slowly dissolving, @cesca_peacock reminds us not to miss the major showcase of 19th century seminal painter Paul Cézanne. (Tate Modern. Until 12 March)

Given the imminent publication of Spare - you mean, you hadn't noticed? Lucky you - it's fitting that my latest piece for the @Theopenartfair, about collectable royal books, has just been published. Yes, I do include Fergie's The Adventures of Budgie. https://t.co/ijC9sBacVM

Brilliant article by @JanPatience with such a fresh perspective on the #BarlinnieSpecialUnit and how it has influenced other artists - the wider artistic impact for which it is less well documented - this article features work by artist Tom Allan.

[Jan Patience @JanPatience]

I really enjoyed writing this piece for @Theopenartfair about the art of Jimmy Boyle. I got lost down many a virtual rabbit hole and had a great chat with sculptor Tom Allan, who gave me a loan of his copy of this minefield of information. Such a fascinating story.

From life imprisonment to a life sentence as an artist.
@JanPatience writes on the Barlinnie Prison's Special Unit.

seeing them as interruptions as such one does interviews with wo/men of the quill because of 'brand' blah blah - but one rarely enjoys them as much as this one with @alexlarman .

Human vs Horse - is there a market for a Stubbs portrait with a person rather than an equine subject?
