Strangely this has never happened as I quickly realise that I have to get to work and anyway, I've only this cruddy camcorder. My favourite subject is the nude female form. However, as my wife has now threatened me with the European Court of Human Rights I am going to have to broaden my work. It is a frustrating life for an artist when all I ever seem to hear is "Turn that bloody thing off. Cant I even have a bath without you pointing that bloody thing at me" I have researched the ...
