You People Make me Sick !!!

Can Any One …. any one at all ??

envisage a scenario , prior to this one ….. when a decree from The Helmsman of Brexit Britain - Boris Johnson - The biggest Cheese I ever did see , would actually be taken seriously by a calm and collected … and reasonable public ?

No …. Of  Course Not !!

I will admit to being one of the people that initially looked at this whole pandemic with an air of scepticism …

' lets see how many billionaires get it '

' its the Russians - leading a load of incompetents into positions of authority through a bunch of mickey mouse elections - so that in the event of a pandemic - the west will at last be brought to ts knees ' ( although the west's natural position seems to be on its knees … either sucking cock or taking it in the ass for a percentage )

' there is no pandemic - this is just an international crowd control technique '

' the worlds economies were all simultaneously ' adopted ' by some genuinely questionable individuals - in order to dilute the heinous impact this kind of interned skulduggery has wrought of the peoples of the world - even in this ' advanced age ' of ours - why not invent a crisis '

'perfect means for boris and trump to stamp out the last national elements of health service before outsourcing the lot to huwuawei or what ever the hell they are called '

' they made a killing on the ' flu vaccine ' - now some crazy money men have figured out a way to unleash ' FLU - II ' for an instant billion …… ?? '

I Found myself to be getting quite irate just the other day - when via social media a load of would be do gooders - thought that a great way to encourage our poor strung out health care workers in this trying time would be to stand out in the garden and clap their hands ?? shouting and applauding an audience of people that cant hear you … they are already flat out at work !!!

you know why ?? because when Tony Blair and David Cameron , when that evil with Tereasa may and now fucking boris johson were basically overpricing these peoples basic accommodation - when they were attacking union rights - sick pay and maternity cover - when the front line services of this once national health service were crying out that they needed more front line staff on a decent living wage - and not a load of extra golf playing administrators on exorbitant salaries - consulting all over the place

they needed personal , equipment , traing and funding for all of the above - a viable and invented in infrastructure - and as I keep mentioning - a reasonable fucking rent in something other than one of this countries dreary fucking slums !!!

just a little food for thought …….



and Now the big cheese and his health minister have both managed to display ' symptoms ' of the dreaded Covid 19 virus ………. ?

are we sure he hasn't just triggered his overindulgent generated gout … and gone of to hide in some fridge , while his pregnant girlfriend rides out the first waves of pregnancy hormones ?


I guess only time will tell

The Arts Hole On A Mission In the Age of the Charlatan

Design By Valerio 2019

just a little cross section of some of the wonderful little works that are generally bi and large utterly overlooked while I remain almost completely unappreciated in my own time - in this the age of Boris Johnsons Brexit Britain - in Donald Trumps age of the Charlatan !

but still I might as well stick these things out here so although it generally creates a platform for piracy from some of my less creatively endowed contemporaries - it is also an element of dated public record - so that when the time comes to contest the integrity of some carpet bagging rip off merchant that comes along and tries to pander my ideas as their own … there is at least the footing of precedent x

as the round the island yacht race draws to a close once again - I am reminded of a pitch that I put forward to a fellow designer and business man - 

' Sexier than The Arts Hole on a Daz Cat ' I pitched this as an idea to the guys at ' Daz Cat Designs ' for a means of cross and co promotion - wherby we load a load of art into these fine sailing multi hulls and take the whole shebang out and around this little Brexit Island - it would be great for the boats - it would be graet for the various little art groups that are based around the peninsula where these boats are built -  lack of vision and or commitment unfortunately left the notion completely unrealised 


Mount Edgecumbe's Miniature Railway Dinosaur Safari 

this is a great little notion that fits in beautifully to Mount Edgecumbe Country Park in Cornwall - and this one looks at this stage like it might actually be realised - wonderful seeing as I can personally produce the palaeontological replicas just dowm the road - keeping the whole and every aspect of this great original little idea  absolutely local - so touching wood and keep and ye out for this as its much better than the government issued Elephants that are being distributed all around these counties at present !! if you like Elephants - one of the next species in line for extinction with mans preoccupation with plastic unrelenting entertainments - then how can you not love a dinosaur !! 

Of course I have pitched this a formed notion to the local council - but they don't like my attitude - and I loathe their incompetence - so for now at least you wont be getting any Valerio inspired botanical gardens - you wont see any Valerio dinosaurs in the would be botanical garden - and there is very little leeway to end up with an urban farm and social housing initiative off of the back of these original Valerio notions - by all means put a little pressure on your local authority and see if we can spearhead a public support driven negotiation / consultaion or even manifestation - but as I keep saying this is bois johnsosn Brexit Britain - so for now this remains un realised in its full potential - and I wont hold my breath x 


installation proposal - again somewhat dinosaur themed - The Tory Saurus Blues - a popular installation - marking homage to the nonsensical and incessant ' austerity ' imposed by our current series of successive 'governments' despite a decade worth of protest - untold unnecessary deaths - and even a UN investigation into the unessacary hardships that have been forced onto the public of this country over the past decade !

Many people I speak to assume that being an Artist is all very nice .... generally because great aunt murial paints and she is always going off on little artists retreats and whatnot! or its the stark opposite , people think that you have to live in squalor and be stark raving mad! truth is there are components of both in my existence x
