Can't afford proper canvases so he makes up his board using second hand tongue & groove, recovered from garden sheds. Can't afford proper paint so he makes do with second hand bitumen, recovered from roofing felt.
Good stuff, but sadly too big to be conveniently hung in one of the exhibitions at Bourne Hall where his oeuvre might reach a wider audience than reaches his back yard.
Note the artist's interesting use of the verticals of the board to capture the intensity of oriental calligraphy. Maybe he has spent quality time in eastern Asia.
PS: pleased to report that yesterday's batch of fixes for Windows 8, spontaneously downloaded from the horse's mouth, seem to have fixed the 'require password on waking' bug. At least I have been asked for a password in those circumstances twice so far this morning. Which is a lot better than the never I have had during the last couple of weeks or so.
