Every now and then I dabble with painting or so-called fine art, so naturally enough, I've included many of my paintings here. The majority of the paintings are A3 watercolour or poster paints on paper. Many are images from my dreams; I've marked these with a white *. Some were actually dreams of paintings themselves: on waking up I painted them from memory. I've marked these with **.

"Dreaming the World 1-4."

"Sunbane."

"Aztec Alien" and "New Dawn."

"Another World."

"Jung-A"* and "Jung-B."

These are intended to be viewed back-to-back (which is impossible).

"Message from the Deep"**

In the dream, I actually painted this on shiny blue corrugated cardboard. I used paper and painted the background blue when I was awake.

"Moonscape", "Sunrise" and "Dark Sun."

These are pastels on black paper, roughly A4 size. Sunrise was a practice for the A2 version which is Dark Sun.

"Rivertree" and "Tree."

The original Tree was chopped down shortly after I painted its picture, to make way for new houses. Like me and Woody Allen, it was probably hoping to achieve immortality through not dying, rather than by being painted...

"Stairway to Heaven."*

And before you ask, yes, even that wierd white patch was in the dream!

"Stuck," "Diamond" and "Mae West."

"Think Not To Enter."*

(I did.)

"Harlequin."

This A3 pastels on white paper drawing was a practice for an A2 version which I gave to a friend.

"Mona Lisa."**

Just call me "Leo".

"Sinking."*

"Sustenance" and "Plato's Cave."

"Fuzzball."

"Swan," and "St Steven's Tower (Big Ben)."

Last of all, some photos. These first two are electronic versions of some of the few survivors of my photo collection, which was destroyed when my cellar flooded.

Now some more, taken since then, of various places and things, in no particular order. First of all, a few pictures I took in Torbay, in the SW of England in the Summer of 2003.

A day out in Hyde Park, London, 2004.

A day out in Regent's Park, London, April 2005 (I like parks).

Leyton Flats, London, probably Winter 2003. This area is a reclaimed gravel-pit on the edge of what is left of Epping Forest.

A couple of London Landmarks: a view from Primrose Hill over the centre of London on a (very) rainy day. London Zoo is visible at the bottom of the hill. The second picture is a view of the district known as The City from across the River Thames.

Um... Another park! Gladstone Park, in the North West London borough of Brent. They carve up dead trees: hence the "Brentosaurus" and its pals.

I've been watching the sky too.
