Loving your work by the way. Your imagination is literally awe-inspiring.; 22 March 2011 at 20:44

Graham, I thought I recalled reading somewhere that you'd only ever had one proper holiday, and that was to York (peace be upon our nation's capital) when you were a child. Have I just made that up in my head?

I stayed in Montmartre when I went to Paris in 2008 (or 2009; I can't remember). I was immediately struck by the proximity of cultural areas popular with tourists to complete and utter shitholes popular with lost idiots like me... That was my impression of Montmartre.; 22 March 2011 at 23:21
Graham said...: Almost true - I did spend a week in Switzerland in 2000 but Paris was only four days, so they've been few and far between. I don't really do holidays.

My abiding memory of Montmartre was being ripped off by a portrait artist who wanted €70 for a drawing that was genuinely unidentifiable as me. To qualify as a portrait artist there you just need a pad of paper, a stick of charcoal and a queue of stupid British tourists who are too polite to tell you you're shit.; 23 March 2011 at 08:34
