Brighton Dreams
At the heart of the composition of this new album cover stands the enigmatic figure of Arthur Dott, a minstrel of the modern age, his soulful visage too strong to be fully realised. Clad in trousers reminiscent of the Oasis, he walks downwards as a beacon of creative fervor, his gaze probably – though we cannot see – fixed upon the distant horizon where dreams and reality converge in a symphony of indie rock.

Worthing First Ice Cream of the Summer
Johnny Peckham has given us another masterpiece that delves into the sublime depths of human experience.
Captured within the frame is a woman, adorned in regal splendor, ensconced within the protective embrace of a waterproof mobility scooter,a modern-day chariot of empowerment. With grace and poise, she indulges in the sensory delight of ice cream, its creamy sweetness a testament to the fleeting pleasures of earthly existence.
The composition exudes a profound sense of temporality, as if frozen in a momentary reverie amidst the relentless march of time. The juxtaposition of the woman’s serene countenance with the mechanical apparatus of her conveyance imbues the scene with a poignant sense of existential inquiry,a reflection on the fragile interplay between human agency and the immutable forces of fate

Godwin Sands! Another winner, full to the brim of joie de vivre and sparkling like a bottle of half drunk champers on Derby Day. How does he keep making these delicious artistic morsels? We are living through a golden period indeed. The last time the world benefited from visual art so stunning was probably the Renaissance itself. If Godwin doesn’t win Artist of the Year at the Bournemouth Art Society annual Gala this summer then we will know there is skulduggery afoot. Godwin! Thank you this masterpiece! Stay safe and keep the masterpieces coming.
