It doesn’t make it alright... played this song 100s of times and it’s the song in our set that riles me the most because I mean it. Racism is never alright.

Opinions sought!! People have been asking whether I'm aiming to do cards of my AMERICANA paintings and I'm mulling it over. The cassette postcards are still hugely popular... what d'you think?

The first few days of making the record felt a little overwhelming... major label... album... London. I was very young and it became a real eye-opening... as things settled down it proved to be a great experience. Discovering kebab shops was a massive bonus! TERRY X

I painted this ice-cream van a while ago and though people liked it, nobody bought it 😕
UNTIL NOW … and here it is in its new home. It’s always a thrill to sell an original painting, not least for the satisfaction of having painted something that someone else likes. ☺️
