My wife Chris and I had an excellent break in Crete during May 2011. I was disappointed not to find any local printmakers but we did find a number of artist potters making really interesting work. Check out Omodamos in Rethymnon - particularly the work of  Maria Karakatsani. I created a series of prints and paintings inspired by our visit to Crete.

The Climate Gallery in New York invited me to send books to be included in an exhibition during April 2010. The Gallery has neither returned my books nor paid me for sales and has not replied to my emails. I have raised a complaint with the City of New York Attorney General’’s office but the gallery and its principal have disappeared - a salutary lesson!.
