I thought I was a bit if a master of disguise until recently. It seems that every newsreader on the telly has changed their appearance. I did not realise this until I attempted to adjust the colour on my TV screen as the faces on the presenters just looked very very weird. They seem to have changed from their normal looking selves to someone who has been cooked over a spit for a year - being a strange dark colour resembling the inside of a babies nappy crossed with a sprinkling of rust scraped off the Angel of the North (a famous metal sculpture near Newcastle, England). And it is not just one or two individuals but the whole mass of newsreaders from every station. Could it possibly be something to do with a new viral strain of the black death or a strange blood disorder passes on from newsreader to newsreader. It certainly makes my blood curdle watching them. Taint natural. Oh for the pasty, grey/white, near death presenters of yeold. Then I would not think my ancient telly was on the blink. If you are a newsreader reading this post then give everyone a break, return to your more normal colour and you won't look so unnatural. Honest!

Imagine my horror when during the month of Movember when I charitably grew my mustache - I discovered I'd morphed into Mr. Pastry.

Suits you sir!

Well blow me (I should be so lucky). I was tidying up my studio the other day when what should I find but a pastel drawing that I'd forgotten all about. It is pretty good as well. Approx size 20ins x 30ins. Yet another optical illusion job. I call it 'The Mole (man of many faces)'. He's an ugly bugger is he not? See for yourself. Gav.

Well finally I've managed to complete a new painting, although the idea came from an old drawing. It is a big face made up of writhing figures, human and creepy crawly creatures. I originally called it The Damned but I think I would like a change of name. The face looks bad, so what about 'Bad Look'. It is a bit Devilish so maybe's Demons. I could do with a bit of help so how's about thinking of a good name for my fantasmagorical face. Email me with your suggestions at gmayhew@toucansurf.com. I look forward to your suggestions. Gav
Yes - I admit it. I am an artist that still has two ears. And following on from my namesake, I still haven't become famous, even after years of trying. For everlasting fame, I was thinking of shooting myself in a cornfield after chopping off an ear or two but as the weather is so scabby I couldn't face exposing raw skin to the the elements. I do have a lot off blood and gore on my website gallery page, the Dark Side.www.artist-gavinmayhew.co.ukbut when it comes to my own red stuff I do get a bit queezy. So I shall just have to get my finger out (yet again) and keep on keeping on. One day - yes one day - I will be famous. You will be welcome at my funeral. Yours. Vangav.
By the way I'm new to blogging and can't understand hal;f of the nerdy language - so if there is anyone out there that can help me - HELP!
