Everything London

If you're in London there are some wonderful Art museums and galleries to go to, that's not a secret some say they are the best in the world and tourists from all over ear mark coming to the National Gallery to see Monet, Manet and Van Gough masterpieces. Titan is my favourite, but that aside, there are also pieces of modern art to be found all over the city.   Right Above Selfridges, Right now, go see him in action with his burning flame!   Take for instance this gandiose and magnificent piece right on Oxford Street/ Bond Street, it hangs brazenly infront of the classic Selfridges clock, this masculine figure has fragments of hair that blow in the wind and the flame from the broken burnt block of wood comes on intermittently.   Its a very striking piece as you step onto the shopping metropolis pavement. the The man is based uncannily on a man called Rick Owens* a designer who hails from LA whose created special products for Selfridges to sell,

Hello all, This is the sort of feel good news that needs to be shared. As you know I used to work in California making models for movies, blowing them up and the like. Well, Robbie Edwards, a fellow English man, was one of my co-workers, and my friend. Robbie working on Pirates of The Carribean, messy making.  On Greenscreen set, Robbie sets out to sink a ship.

His wife has written a blog here. He has worked 30 movies in 20 years in

Seals spend some of their time hauled out on sand banks or mudflats where they breed, moult their fur coats, and rest and it's then that are often spotted by the public. But these marine mammals are being

Emotive eyes As it's so well preserved scientists are still learning about it everyday; DNA samples have been removed and examined, what they know already is she died with some of her mothers milk still in her tummy. It doesn't get more personal than that, does it?
