Dear John

terry fit for tomorrow, though he's usually pretty sketchy when in an england shirt. watch the injuries mount up eh!
Im aching all over played again tonight - just indoor but it was a good laff. some boys take it so seriously though.... also did another painting - just some more pulp for the portfolio but at least it was another one of my Chinese proverbs series. Im still not happy with much that im producing at the mo, except the stuff that fits into a tiny little category of 'facial portraiture from contemporary fashion' which is a practically unsaleable market to put myself in but any deviation from this subject tends to get all muddy and unattractive. Also Im yet to put oil to canvas but I feel it coming on- am working with a group of homeless, teaching english...trying to suss who would make a good portrait subject... spending time and gaining a bit of trust but not there yet... want to take em all on a picnic to claridges or something and do a bit of a performance... hmm...
