Over the last week I have created a selection of new pieces to coincide with the UK General election and for the great project BillBored.org. They have been projecting statement art pieces onto lots of places around london by night including; Tate Modern, Saatchi & Saatchi, City Hall, The Gherkin and last night PARLIAMENT.

My latest piece about the Hung Parliament and the power Clegg holds as third place candidate was loved by BillBored who wanted to end the project with a bang - so they set out on a dark Sunday evening to project this onto the hottest spot in London.

After weeks of tireless campaigning and voting in the Leinz General Election “Personalities not Policies” I am very please to announce the results of who you all voted for. I was not too surprised by the result but it will be interesting to compare the clever little so and so’s who visit my site with the actual results.

Thanks for all those that took part.

The Electoral TV debate has now reached UK politics and it’s popularity is set to make it a future staple of the Election process, are we taking another step towards Personalities not Policies?.

After two of the three television debates already over and with instant polls and numerous thousand tweets on them, a lot of people are being more persuaded by the individual leader and not looking at the party and it’s policies. The majority of the talk has been about who is the most charismatic and engaging on a personal level.

The voters are not being won over by the hard facts and figures of each party but by who they like the most on a non- political level. Alright, we need to like who is in charge, but how they intend to run the country is what we should really be focussing on.

Poor old Labour will ultimately loose a lot of seats with dour and unapproachable Mr Brown, whereas The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats who are more savvy to the impact TV debates and new media can have on opinions are changing tactics to gain more votes.

Is our election process on a dumbed-downward spiral where parties are made almost obsolete by a candidate’s smile and personality?

For all those that have been following my Twitter you will have seen some of my updates and pictures of Frank as he progressed from original blank white elephant to his finished glory. Over the three weeks that I spent in the Elephant & Castle Shopping centre painting, spraying and sticking stuff to him I kept a photo/video diary which you can view in it’s entirety below - it’s 7minutes long so stick with it but 3 weeks is a long time to fit into a tiny video:

I have just found out that my art will be appearing on an elephant in this summers London Elephant Parade. I will be painting the 2m x 1.5m elephant over the next months and will keep you up to date with regular posts on how things are going - should be great fun.

Billed as the capitals largest public art exhibition, Elephant Parade will embrace all that is excellent about London and will highlight every green initiative of the capital’s top businesses.  Decorated by a different artist or celebrity, the brightly painted elephants will help to create a bright new atmosphere in London and beautify each city park, street corner and building they grace. The event has already won the backing of Boris Johnson and the Greater London Authority, prominent artists and well known personalities such as The Duchess of York, Stephen Fry, Joanna Lumley and Michael Palin.

I am very pleased to announce that my art is being featured at ‘Vivienne Westwood’s Active - Resistance to Propaganda’ event at the Bloomsbury Ballrooms, Friday 4th December ‘09. Tickets have already sold out but I will try and keep you up to date as the evening progresses - will be a very interesting evening.

With the public becoming more aware of the range of environmental issues facing our planets future and with debate still raging on the human impact. Politicians and world leaders are stalling on how we are going to tackle it - will the natural world start fighting back before the policy makers leave it too late.

Lovable Boris Johnson with his astute intellect and bumbling persona is seen by many as a friendly and approachable character. A complete contrast to the more serious Ken Livingstone but is BoJo really the face and personality to represent London on the world stage, or does he turn London into a circus in the eyes of many.

A riving mass of twisted black plastic and metal moulding together out of a fog of electrical static - also known as the digital age in which we live in. Wireless communication and even a man on the moon but still there is no soloution to the mess of wires involved when listening to music. Two pieces, the first is a single colour the second highlighted with metallic silver.

I woke up on Wednesday to the vision of the new world that had arisen overnight from the ashes of republican America; wars had ceased, crime had just disappeared, poverty and disease no longer existed. This may be a slight exaggeration but if you had voted Barack Obama in the US presidential election it seems this is what you believed would happen.

Obama being sworn in is clearly a great moment in American and World history and will undoubtedly have a huge effect on how America is governed and perceived globally, but are people expected far to much from Barack? he seems to have been elevated from the realm of politician to messiah.
