Just a quick note before someone else gets in there first: yes we know it's meant to be gladioli not chrysanthemums, but there weren't any gladioli in the co-op that day.

God i can't believe I'm missing this. I'll be wearing my hearing aid, NHS specs, oversized cardigan and union flag in tribute. That's what tradition means.

If you've ever at a lecture and you see Alexander Brener there, probably best to sit at a distance...

I saw Nick Rhodes at the opening of the Francis Bacon show at Tate Britain on Tuesday. Lucky me huh?

I got given a load of stuff from Cowshed and it's all really amazing!

Jack Smith is kind of like a British Kandinsky who was always just a wee bit behind the pioneering Russian.

I went to see the retrospective at Flowers East the other day and i really like most of his stuff even though my friends said he was boring. I think if you were pretty loaded his work would be cool to hang in your house.

I really love this place. It's about a ten-minute walk from the office and the private views are always fun - they even had canapes at the last one (a bit of a rarity in the East)!

The shows are generally good too - from big-name retrospectives like Jack Smith to group shows for up-and-coming talent, it's a great gallery and not as wanky as some.

I saw a load of his work at Forster Gallery a few months back. It really is pretty cool - like the best kid's bedroom ever!

Fun and boldly sizzling, but better than, say, Marc Quinn's recent super-bright flower pictures. You can stare at McAttee's work for hours without getting bored - there are so many layers of colour.

I went here a month or so ago for the one-off exhibition of Katie Guggenheim's The Dark Show, which had been on at Wallis Gallery for a month.

The place is really cool - it's under the railway arches and the old brick work really gives a great atmosphere. Quite different from the usual white walls/strip-wood flooring thing.

I saw some of Nadine's work as part of a group show at Standpoint gallery recently and it really is amazing. I think she's one of the most interesting painters around at the moment.

She's exhibiting some work at One in the Other this September - definitely going to check that out.
