Hyper rare - The Clash - Live on Orange Vinyl…getting much play today in the Studio…Superb…aiding the Creative Process…😎🎸🎸🙏 Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024

…wonderful artist…recently passed. He was well known for his paintings, but not so much for this project. Frank, along with Lichtenstein, Warhol and Others was given this base white BMW to decorate in their chosen style…very understated…but undeniably Frank Stella…! 😎🙏

In the sunshine at London’s very own “Flatiron Building” - the magnificent Blackfriar…recommend a visit - particularly as a vegetarian! Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024 📸🎨🙏

It’s a bit contentious right now…some artists are posting “No NFS” whilst some are “NO NFTs!!” I wonder how past artists would have reacted - Rothko, I think, would have been in the first category…Pollock I think would have experimented…and Warhol would have taken over the World with his NFTs! As with all new media, I embrace NFTs…they’re another income stream and allow me to work in a new World order. I use MetaMask and OpenSea with Polygon crypto. Never turn your creative back on anything…😎🎨💻🙏 Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024

Never a bad idea to start the Day with Coffee…@ Bosco Lounge…Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024

Superb "Double" Retrospective in New Bond Street...It's free to enter and a must to view...He's a major influence on me and my work...both as a Person & Artist...Recommended! Photo: Hawkins, 2024

So often in London, it’s nice to drop into the Tate and chill in the Members’ Lounge over Coffee…always loved Robert Indiana’s work…and this resonates so strongly with me…Photo ©️Hawkins, 2024 📸🎨🙏

Wonderful Sunday at the best little Bistro in London…with Daughter & Partner…Great (Vegetarian) Menu…Friendly Vibe…And Superb Service…Recommended…! 😎🎨🙏 Photo (c) Hawkins, 2024

Any day in London is good, but as a member of the Tate it‘s great to just walk in anytime even for a Coffee…this was a special trip though…the impressive works of Philip Guston…an early High School friend of Jackson Pollock…😎🎨🙏 Photo (c) Hawkins, 2024

Winding down towards the weekend…this image jumped out at me…still available to purchase…Image (c) Hawkins, 2024
