Titled 'At the Edge of Town' this is the image from the exhibition that most conveys what is to come. Looking back - it was painted in 1986 - this is where we can say that Peter Doig is finding a focus, finding his feet.

I always love looking at John Deakin prints. Wonderful black and white portraits. Seems that what he really wanted was to be taken seriously as a painter - but he never was. Of course, now when his paintings come up for auction they are much sought after. Well worth seeing this show at the Photographers Gallery in London. There's even a painting of Francis Bacon by Deakin.

Walked into BDI this morning to find this print waiting for me. It's a photo Chris Moyse took of me in my Rosebery Avenue studio back in the mid-Eighties - or thereabouts! Brought back some great memories. Many thanks Chris!

Great to see the wonderful Matisee cut-outs show at the Tate Modern. Well worth having a look at the short piece of film showing Matisse with a large pair of scissors cutting a line. The precision of his cutting is remarkable. The colours, of course, are amazing.

Shooting a fairy tales story for D magazine. Perfect casting - and great styling from Annie Lerner.

Isabella has to wear a brace for six weeks. She's putting up a good fight!

Casting in London for upcoming shoot.

I've been watching Truffaut's 'Jules and Jim' as research for an upcoming shoot. I had forgotten how good it is. And how playful it is with film techniques. Watch this then watch Scorsese's 'Goodfellas'.
