I've been asked to join Notting Hill's 'Save The Samuel Beckett Mural' campaign run by Labour Councillor, Amir Akhrif.

My blur photograph of the famous Portobello street art by Alex Martinez is above and was shown at one of my solo exhibitions in New York in 2008 at Gallery Mark Hachem.

Martinez's wild street depiction of the famous Irish writer and poet was recently destroyed. The campaign aims to get it back.

Support it here 'Save the Samuel Beckett Mural'.

Yep, you too Hugh (Grant).

Capitalism stands small and smug.

Nothing learnt. All greed.

A world stridently refusing alternatives. It's choice.

Create capital - do good. Lives making differences not solely stuffing wallets.

Tomorrow's world. Doing smaller evil. The greedy shamed and named. Exorcised.

Capitalism done right. Right?

Graffiti somberley resting on a fragment from the Berlin Wall.

Raw art.

The Apple crumbles under its banks.

Still tattered, lonely. Lost.

An island stumbling in the mist seeking retribution. Not yet.

Soon?

Valentine seduction - lips.

Kiss.

We stand alone - pointless specks of irrelevance. Waiting.

Politicians care less. Big business barks. Banks churn. Our planet spinning away. Impatient.

Where from tomorrow's energy. The gold rush has begun. China leads. A sprint to the next industrial frontier.

We stand alone. Our planet melting away. Our irrelevance ascertained. Can we change?

I spend my life hanging with emerging entrepreneurs, designers and artists. You know, the real folk.

The ones left behind by this God forsaken credit chaos.

Here's an article I wrote for them last week: 'Calling All Angels'.

Please.

Chaos reigns in Port au Prince.

Ruin, riot, mans worse instinct kicks. Loot, root - God's own mess.

Where's the help. Where debate. Distracted by a bankers bonus.

Remember chaos, graffiti, street. A small recall at least.

Support the needy. Haiti.

A Manhattan building stands blurred, alone, distant.

A small, irrelevant reminder of the empire collapsed - surrounding.

A Roman rhapsody of financial tsunami. Where next?

Evolution; man evolved beyond or back. Where we began.

Base, raw, impure.

Self consuming - gorging on each other. Destroying all around.

Consumption jungles turning the evolution timebomb back. Way back.

Hoard less - do more.

Photo

A decade we leave. Discarded like empty wastelands with windblown bushels gliding through.

War, oil, needless pain scar us. Our children no safer, our planet worn. Recession torn.

We leave it now for new promises - a future free. let's not idle this one aside.

New years dear. Renew.

Just you. To redo. A next decade.

Happy holidays to all from a nameless, faceless scar of battlegrounds and murderers and your countless wars.

Think of me when you swallow your turkey like pregnant crows. Spare a thought for the oil you chase and Arabs you murder.

Day in, holiday out.

Where's our rest? Where the feast?

End it.
