The Thoughts of Charwoman Miaow

This is my online scrap book, I’m filling it with snippets from here and there which express my thoughts and preoccupations, worries and frustrations, as well as insights and occasional rare moments of revelation. I hope it becomes “an inexhaustible source of strength and a spiritual atom bomb of infinite power.” (!! acknowledgements to Lin Piao 1966), but at any rate, it’s a form of self expression, takes the pressure off, and maybe it’ll mean something to somebody. Dedicated to my daughter.

Jack of Hearts

In memoriam Jack Yates - December 16 1923 - October 15th 2012.

Mischievous, funny, immensely talented,original and prolific. A gifted artist who was ‘like a variety show performer’.

For me his work encompassed the bold graphics of German expressionism mixed with a wistful humour and a touch of cool sixties flower child-meets Andy Warhol. Beautiful colours, dramatic, powerful.

One of my favourites below.
