Happy birthday to the wonderful Bonnie Greer. We once had lunch together and she was pure heaven - funny, warm, generous and intelligent. When we parted, she kissed me on the lips and hugged me. I felt blessed.
Here’s my charcoal portrait of her.

AI ‘artist’ creates portrait of King Charles. To no one’s surprise, it looks like a bad photo that a dog who’s eaten some putrid spaghetti has vomited all over.
AI is incapable of art. It’s an expensive photocopier, nothing more. Stop pretending it can replace humans.

I can't believe Daft Punk's One More Time is now 25 years old. The album Discovery completely blew my mind when it was released in 2001. One of the most effervescent bits of creativity I've ever heard. We need Daft Punk back in our lives now more than ever.

I've spent the last 3 years animating episode 1 of the Daleks' Master Plan for its 60th anniversary today! Yes, we had a slight technical hitch when I realised I'd uploaded the wrong version of the file, but we're good now!
And you might want to keep watching to the very end..

I'm one of those cinema goers that sticks around and watches the credits. Boy, I'm glad I did when this beautiful piece, a mash up by Robbie Robertson of The Band, popped up over the closing credits for Scorsese's magnificent Shutter Island.
