Families are claiming the fading light over Barrepta Cove. A shallow runnel of outflowing streamwater has broadened into a challenging leap with sand-slip sides. Wet pumps; an inevitable conclusion.

“Portrait of a Northern Youth”

You’ll chance on him in your town centre. e’s recklessly pulling a wheelie on his mountain bike. He’s tarnished with a misplaced undercurrent of threat but stumbling into adulthood under a bombardment of trashy subliminal influence.

Grayson’s work and social commentary is superb. I’ve travelled extensively to his exhibitions. In 2010 I completed his portrait, “When Grayson Speaks.”

I hope to exhibit it in 2021 before putting it up for sale.

Scroobius Pip, Distraction Pieces.

Oil on canvas.

I first heard on his podcast and was instantly taken by his easy going nature. He brought the best out of his guests.

His gritty social commentary in music makes him a kindred spirit.

Thanks Pip.
