Found in a theatre programme from the 1960s kindly donated by @oliverwoodsphoto - Maggie Smith and Kenneth Williams on the same bill? Where’s my time machine! (Honorable mention to Ralph Richardson also for whatever he was doing further down the page).

A groovy little gem discovered at @tate Britain last week. The Drury Lane Arts Lab was where David Bowie used to brush up his mime act and John Lennon and Yoko Ono exhibited their first collaborative artwork. It’s probably a chippy now.

Today’s sketchcercise: snapped some McWrongalds packaging on the street this morning, traced it in Adobe Fresco, erased bits haphazardly, 15 mins at Gas Mark 7, voila.

Happy 150th birthday to Bertrand Russell. He may be gone but the memories of his legendary DJ-set-and-lecture evenings linger on.

Some highlights from the Sickert show at @tate Britain. It’s a good show and well put together - particularly when showing how much he learned from Degas and Whistler. And yet Sickert never really had a Number One hit, did he? He maybe had three or four Top 10s, a dozen or so in the mid to low Top 40s, and apart from the rest dropping briefly in and out of the Top 100 that was about it. Is he therefore the Ultravox of British art, with ‘Ennui’ as his ‘Vienna’? And if so, who is the Joe Dolce Music Theatre? Harold Gilman? #stretchedmetaphors #top10 #ukcharts #sickert #waltersickert #tate #tatebritain #londongallery #londonmuseum #londongalleries #londonmuseums #ultravox #joedolce #80spop #joedolcemusictheatre #onehitwonder #shaddupyouface #britishart #haroldgilman (at Tate Britain)
