  • The picture shown here is not the one I bought, but it is one of the awesome new still lifes.
  • Julian once gave me the shirt off his back.1
  • You can bid on his paintings here (same link as the lemon picture above, a new one every day.

1Strictly speaking, it was not off his back, it was a tee-shirt from his drawer; he gave it to me when we were visiting and I was holding my wine glass stupidly and Beta turned around and bumped me and it went all over the shirt I was wearing, a grey short-sleeved job I had worn because I was not sure how formal the dinner we were having was going to be (turned out to be very informal). I still have Julian’s shirt, in fact. Art collecters please note: bids on the shirt can be sent to metamorphosist@gmail.com.
