Personally I quite like the beach boys being in everything. It’s the stuff of life. It’s your enthusiasm, it illuminates things
Coffee office, a brown and red squiggly drawing that’s a bit like a painting that would be hyped by evil oil barons
Hospital dispute, a fun times cyan/teal/vermillion jobbie
School Holidays, the one that started the whole dealio
Golden treasures constrained by nice sexy black lines , another oil pastel drawing
!! I have added these nonfigurative drawings and two more to brand new department at my website, ‘Concoctions’ cos it seemed an acceptable word. They’re here as originals for sale. And (to the ether) can I sell them please, thanks. www.chloecumming.com/concoctions
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

I sometimes feel like to draw something is to gain some mastery or control over it, so it’s less likely to hurt you
Or so you have control of the narrative
The need to draw goes far beyond paying tribute to things or perpetuating niceness or selling drawings. I need to remember this sometimes
A blue acrylic painting of a dark haired man with a baby whose face is visible in profile behind the man’s bejumpered arm
A small painting of my Dad with my Son
Drawings of Vince McMahon’s old stretched weird evil face
cw… drawings of very bad abusive but ridiculous man. Sometimes I just need to draw something and it’s not because I like it
A painting of a man with a beard and a woman with a big nose, white middle aged people in roughly textured paint, mostly the heads
A small painting of me and Bob
Oh whisky reviewing man, your insights are good but your mouth noises make me want to kill you with my bare hands
Silhouettes of trees on a foggy evening.
Fish Market, 1627. Brilliant work by Jacob Cuyp, whose day is today. Fish seller & woman stare at each other. Maid in red stares at you.
In this panel drawn by Jack Kirby, a desperate looking man shouts "I...need a marijuana! I gotta have a reefer!" Three men are standing around him and one says "Talk first! Start talking!"
Of course, Victoria Wood - As Seen on TV was one of the most brilliantly funny and cutting overviews of the medium I had ever seen. I remember in its first showing (early 1985) feeling like the only person at school who saw it. The second series got 9m viewers on BBC2. Miss you, VW.
One of the ones not depicted here has been sold! Praise be! (Also this now gives me permission to say they’re going like basically hot cakes)
he’s literally right behind you luigi, you absolute rube
(Overjet is the medical word for Buck teeth)
Evening stroll. Gothic feet.
Anthropophagi
Young and strong and wild and free
It was nice!
A house with a strange sticky outy angel window and door next to it with blue bags
There were many things in Bury (St Edmunds)

A most cosmopolitan opening to Topaze (1933), starring Myrna Loy. (No surprise, given a director with the most cosmopolitan name of D'Abbadie D'Arrast).
