I believe art to be my spirituality. Over the past 20 years I have tried to maintain a pure commitment to contemporary art practice; I have never looked for a safe place to rest. What happens with my art generally runs parallel to my life, meaning that I learn from my art and apply some of these insights to my life and vice versa. When I sense that I am becoming too comfortable in what I am doing I will consciously move on to something new. For example, challenges in my personal life keep me on my toes and help me to extend myself more as an artist. This is how my work is in a constant state of evolution

Looks like a bit of Ian Fairweather has drifted up in him.
Just thought I'd comment so this thread wouldn't too look zen.

- yes and the odd bit of Gascoigne (rosalie) as well...
(you can attend to the general zen round here any time ;) )

I bet you say that to all the commentators here.
Here's an artist/illustrator I rather like who seems to be quite zeitgeisty.

yes - great. (And the links are quite z-y too.)
(and might I stress that I really like Dahlsen's work too. Rather beautiful)

And here's an artist who could only really exist in the 21st century - thanks to the past.

Yes, Micawber Autos

don't like Micawbers's chances of selling the motor to the moustached man at window.
Not sure where he is placed in the family hierarchy but his carriage and general demeanour would seem to suggest he's not buying it, mate
