Nicely done, and also what appears to be a lovely car. Now, I'm no expert, but that wouldn't happen to be a hard top Cadillac Eldorado, would it?
Edit: having revisited the collection of car porn that is typing 'Cadillac Eldorado' into google image search, I fear not. Which is a shame, as it's my most favourite car, but this is also lovely.

I think if I do get a pretty car, because of the width of the roads round here (I live in a town, but it's in the middle of the coutryside with thin singletrack roads) I may have to get this:

If I inherit the nice car of my Granddads, it'll be one of these:

Well, I can, but not round corners very well and not without getting arrested. I drove a friend and myself home from a house party once a few years back, as she was smashed and I wasn't, and we went the entire way at ten miles an hour with me shitting myself. Luckily, no cops to be found.

I have some prostheses, I used to collect them for a bit. I've got mostly prosthetic hands, a couple of cosmetic gloves for said hands (which are basically rubber 'gloves' for the hands with realistic skin and nail detail painted on) and a brilliant foot, which is really heavy. My favourite is the hand with a sort of carabina clip thumb, so you can carry your shopping. I did have an old prosthetic leg from C 1910, and a prosthetic ear from around the same time, but I donated them. Excellent.

apart from the leg and the ear back (altruism engenders regret, for some reason. Guilty regret at that.) what I'd really like is a set of wooden false teeth. If anyone ever sees any in a shop, if they could please tell me I'd gladly paypal or whatever some money to them so they could buy them for me. I've seen a couple of sets but they were upwards of 500 quid and I just can't afford that.

Small.
I painted a truly wonderful canvas with a shadowed alien figure inside a house, gazing at a small table where a knife and fork were being suspended by a beam of light, coming through the window and eventually sourced at a small ship in the distance. I loved that picture but everyone who saw it commented that the perspective was all wrong on the beam of light and there was no way it could be what was suspending the cutlery. I don't know how many times I had to patiently watch the light dawning in people's eyes when I questioned what made them think it was supposed to just because they had been raised on a trashy movie diet of hollywood cliches, and they were looking at a child's painting.
I mean, I totally did fuck it up, but I still think I had a valid point.

My most hated question when I have someone looking at some of my photographic work is "So, what are you trying to say with this?"

If I start making pictures based upon other people's conception of art and to suit other people, I'll probably stop making pictures.
All I have to say is "This is what it is, you may choose to see more in it and you may choose to judge it by what you know but it might not make you right. I made it for me".
I'm not fond of critics. I think you should look at a picture and be able to decide if you like it or not. It should end there.
