It's hot stuff here on the Wendsite as summer shines on.

Actually, of course, the moment I wrote that the skies clouded over and a gentle drizzle started to descend. So it might be better to say that whatever the weather, there's a warm welcome here!

Now, finally, we're in to publication month for Gallery Girl, my sizzling new comedy about the loot, the lust and the giant egos in the chucklesome world of contemporary art. I've already been getting some lovely reviews, which is very gratifying as I put so much into this book and enjoyed writing it so enormously. As a special summer treat, I've got an extract from Gallery Girl on the website — just follow the links and enjoy! You can also see me talking about my new book, just click the links to the video.

My favourite character in Gallery Girl is sexy, naughty Zeb Spaw, the baddest art bad boy who ever picked up a paintbrush (and then put it straight back down because nailing knickers to chopping boards was so much easier and got him more headlines). Because I had such fun writing about him and the terrible works he produces, I decided to actually pretend to be him, do my own spoof contemporary art exhibition and mount it in a smart London gallery.

'angry-with-britain' has attracted a great deal of attention from the art world already ('Hilarious' The Daily Telegraph 2/8/10). You can see Zeb's/my entire 'oeuvre' on the website, just click the title or the exhibition catalogue to the right (scroll down and enlarge on screen to get the full show). Highlights include 'Flash in the Pan', a fierce critique of celebrity culture in the form of a gold-sprayed loo. 'Pants' is a meditation on the human condition through the medium of a pair of large white Y fronts. 'Hunter Gatherer' is a consideration of the shop-till-you-drop ethic expressed with abandoned shopping lists picked up from trolleys in the local Waitrose. Enjoy - and be angry!!

Otherwise, I've been up to all sorts this month; read about My Afternoon With a Cagefighter, My Lunch With The Woman Who Paints With Her Breasts and other eye-widening encounters in News.
