In response to Anna Zammit's call for proposals in the Ryan Renshaw window space, I propose:
"To all the Artists: here's to you, you guys, you funny, clever, wonderful masters of beauty and magical otherness".
This is my response to, and thanks for, the sheer joy, inspiration and aliveness that is brought to my world by contemporary visual artists and the work that they do. I really like artists. They are underpaid, overlooked, misunderstood and sadly rejected by many who wouldn't have a clue about what their dull world would be like without art. They are also highly educated, articulate, genius, the best company on a slow day, and usually very well dressed. Cheers big ears, I love youse all.
