Just before Christmas 2008 I tried painting a more real looking cat. This video is the result. Unfortunately the video isn't up to my usual standard. However I've uploaded it anyway otherwise I'd forget and you'd miss me painting in this different style. For those of you that care to read more, I've had lots of technical difficulties with my three main editing programs (including Windows Movie Maker) no longer working as they should and becoming unusable. I used some different editing software that is really awful but at least it works. Hence the bad audio, awkward editing and not being able to show a sped up version of me painting the artwork in full (as I usually would). However if I waited until I sorted all this out I'd never finish this video and you would've missed it. So here it is... with all its flaws.

Ever gone into a shop with your video camera and been told you're not aloud to film even though the store is filming you and everyone else on it's own security cameras? This is a semi humorous rant!

Kevin the alien talks about why you can hear his voice, yet his lips don't move. He gives some insight into the Roswell incident too. Warning! Some alien nudity.

This video seemed like a good idea at the time but unfortunately Kevin, the alien, was being uncooperative. Parody of the 'Ask a Ninja' series of videos.

This is part of a series of videos about selling art on ebay. 'Wrapping' is split into two parts because there's a lot to tell you and wrapping art is quite time consuming (as you can see from the length of the videos). My apologies for the poor sound on these ...my microphone was playing up. The whole series relates to an article about selling art on ebay that I wrote which you can read at: http://www.helium.com/tm/196213

This is part of a series of videos about selling art on ebay. 'Wrapping' is split into two parts because there's a lot to tell you and wrapping art is quite time consuming. Part 2 will be uploaded in the next day or two. The whole series relates to an article about selling art on ebay that I wrote which you can read at: http://www.helium.com/tm/196213 I'll be doing more of this series.

This is a semi humorous discussion for anyone who has ever wondered about how some artists determine the sale price of their artworks. Please don't take me seriously on the price or discussion on the last artwork. It's just another fun poke at minimalism and conceptual art.

This was an attempt at a comedy sketch about Postmodernist art but some where along the way I think it ran off into a ditch. Just like the art its self, it's very flimsy, disjointed and not well resolved. I have no explanation...it's Postmodernist after all. The out take joke at the end is probably the best bit. Enjoy or be bemused.

This one's not really comedy but it follows on from my previously posted video 'Blank Canvas'. Here I demonstrate that the phenomenon of the blank canvas is very real and I express my opinion on them.

The history of art often starts with cave paintings found in France and Spain...but should it? This video is not intended to be a serious look at the history of art. It merely pokes some quiet fun at the seriousness of art and its origins.

Wander through any major art gallery and you'll find at least one artwork that is little more than a blank canvas or a canvas painted all one colour...
