the great colin jellicoe

today i visited my manchester artist friend "the great colin jellicoe", his gallery has been running in manchester for almost 50 years, a real achievement ,he has seen gallerys come and go and he is still in portland street.if you visit the gallery then be prepared for an eccentric establishment i get great pleasure out of my visits. you can make a virtual visit at http://www.colinjellicoe.co.uk/ do not be fooled with this technology ,colin still uses a typewriter.he is a manchester legend with a mischievous glint in his eye.

a conversation with anthony gormley

here i am in crosby having a meaningful converstion with an anthony gormley man who seems to stuck in the sand.
this really is a spectacular setting for the iron men, they are dotted along a short length of coastline, like sentinels.when the tide comes in they dissappear only to reemerge as the tide recedes.
just before this i had lunch in liverpool town hall a local dish called"scouse"
and just before that had visited the tate a show on colour and a fascinating sculpture show.
if you have a photo of the men send it to me...dont forget a caption?
