ject. "People were abseiling down buildings to raise money for charity. I'm not   the sort of person who does that one bit," he said. He wasn't an artist, but he always liked the   idea of painting a mural. "I remember going past them with my parents, looking up and just   thinking they were the coolest things ever." He owned a house with a wall big enough to   paint one on, so he decided that would be his project. "That was the easy bit," he says.   Deciding what to paint was harder. One night, he discussed options with a friend. He had   decided it had to be something natural • murals of people "always look rubbish", he says •   and had been thinking about a tree, swaying in the wind. But the friend said, "What about   a wave?" And then both had the same thought... "HOW about that Japanese ONE ?"  MY OWN personal BBC STORY, however, relates to my Journey of LiFE, during the time   of my involvement with Acorn and the BBC Computer Literacy Project.  …

mass-production. He named the armchair 'Wassily', in homage to Wassily Kadinsky  the painter who is often credited with painting one of the very first purely abstract works, but my money is as much on Hilma af Klint, for that accolade.

which mitigate the establishment of that transition. No better perspective of these 'self-serving forces', has been created in his mind, than that proffered by Ralph Steadman in his Art Work; and most particularly his own very particular ... 'take on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights'. As most of you are already aware Leonardo da Vinci provided an early influence, in regard to my study of Art at Grammar School, which has subsequently been very much enforced by Steadman's own life long appreciation of Leonardo da Vinci.   The recurring theme of humanity in his work also shows up in his passion for other socially relevant causes. In 1994, he illustrated the front and back covers of Amnesty International's Drawing Blood, and in 1998 he did a series of drawings for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, celebrating its 50th anniversary of passing. They even had him write the introduction, wherein he stated:"'I have the right to hold an opinion, express it, celebrate it, broadcast it, live by it, and travel with it anywhere I so desire and what's more convince others, by peaceful means, that they should hold that opinion too.'"That in essence is Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and entombed within it is the right of any artist of any faith, impulse or inclination to express him/herself with unbridled passion and conviction sufficient to bestow upon the world a Pandora's Box of riches or curses we could probably live without."He continues, "Article 19 is obviously a dangerous one amongst twenty nine other equally important human agreements, but it is probably the one article which keeps well hidden within its carefully unbiased structure the undeniable fact that its content releases the power of the individual to be both artist and maniac. The 1948 United Nations Assembly had unwittingly created a monster, an embarrassing loophole, a well-meaning but desperate humanitarian gesture. In their earnest intention to neutralize any future tyranny in the shadow of the recent Holocaust freedom of communication was paramount." …
