myself and I

I was born in London, back in black and white.

I have been making large scale anonymous public Art for many years, I guess I do it mostly for the desire to see my ideas become real, and the powerful feeling of mass communication through found public Art.

I "install" this work entirely anonymously, in places that are significant, not just in the UK. I have a set of strong artist principles, and have stood by them.

I will continue to make big Art so long as I can.

Over my the last couple of decades, I have done a lot of other things out of interest or passion or to raise funds for public works; including making Art films, publishing, photography and working as a consultant in various guises, using art, communication, marketing and psychology.

I was/am an influential pioneer in Digital Art and photography, online mass education and moral AI.

I played a game of pool with Amy Winehouse (she easily won).

I know 4 Billionaires. I wish they liked me much more, things would be so easy.

I have tried not to have much interface with the Art establishment. Turning down a couple of Biennales and Residencies out of principle. My Art is mostly for those that find it, be that in a city, a castle, a street gallery, atop a mountain or right here.

In 2009 I wrote and published influential white paper outlining the use data technology, and blockchain to authenticate Art while retaining transactional control and resale interest for the Artist - for digital and non digital Art. I been called the Godfather of NFTs, please don't mention it, I get quite upset.

I make a small quantity of photographic Artwork (see below), and sell those works to a few generous and kind supporters, often using nearly all of the funds to then quietly produce large anonymous projects.

Some of my private work has found a home in major collection or two, with a few media individuals and once in a while bought by other Artists. I would buy it.

Thank you fate, luck and everyone that has helped me, knowing or not.
