motivation
Now I’m getting pissed off. I’ve not done any sensible amount of work for bloody weeks. The drawing’s not working at the moment. I’m trying to pare it back, slow it down, refine it. All were rubbish and all have been destroyed. Since the last pile of ballsed up drawings a few days ago I’ve just avoided the studio and now I’m sat up, wanting to get down there and work. But I’m too tired. Too tired to work and my head’s too busy to sleep. It’s not like I haven’t got anything to do. I’ve got exhibition commitments coming out my ears and there’s sod all work going on. There’s a joint show with David Walker in New York in June and the main solo show of September 2010 at Saint Martins in the Field, London. I know I’ve got most of that covered but then there’s a solo show in Bologna February 2011 and another solo show in New York the following September. I need to kick myself up the arse and just get on with it. Get up early, coffee on and bang it.

Sounds like you need to get down under for a holiday and some sun on your bones :-) xxx
you need to come back to England to fuel your inspiration. it's much too nice there :D
I like your stuff. Lots of anger, viseral. Moving location tends to shift emphasis, so the vocabulary and voice take time to catch up. Your past work has an urban thing going, whereas Brittany is something else. I did a move from central Canada to a pretty little tourist town on Canada's east coast and haven't done a decent photo since. Used to shoot several hundred a week. However I do more writing. Go figure. Audiences and galleries don't like change much, not when they have your iconography straight. Not many artists have a multilayered brand... By now you're likely over the dry spell, all the best with the new stuff
The excellent answer
