Jasper is a writer of books. He also makes music as Kool Music. Jasper is a polymath, and he never stops working. He reminded me of my favourite artists when I first met him. There is not an over concern with the audience, he just gets on with it. Some of his most recent writing appeared in the NY based 'Heavy Traffic’ publication. You can find his music through Feeding Tube Records, Escho, Arbutus and Nina Protocol.

Do you know Matt Berry? You've probably seen him in THIS. If you have class, you've seen him in THIS. He is my favorite funny man. His voice cracks me up. Well, guess what, he's also a prolific musician. Not a comedy one. A serious one. And his albums are good! Spotify profile linked.

I often work alone, however, friendship and hanging out with friends who make you laugh is very good for you, and sometimes that turns into art, I guess. I’m not totally sure how, but it often happens with my friends. Sidsel Meineche Hansen and I recently made the record ‘Alien Baby’. We also made some ‘Globe’ paintings, and I wrote a short soundtrack piece for a video she made with Reba Maybury, called ‘Day of Wrath’. ’Fingerblades’ is a recent duo exhibition of solo paintings, made with Rachal Bradley. I’ve known Rachal since we were kids at school, and I love her very much. Rachal is currently working on a film about Japanese fashion and the north-west of England, where we both grew up.

Throughout January, I’d wake up, light a fire, and play a yellow sleeved record I found in a charity shop. As a compilation it confuses a little in terms of who wrote what, after researching the tracks, it’s mostly the collaborations between Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. I’m making new paintings at the moment, and some jazz music really keeps the paint loose. I was almost studying ‘Moose the Mooche’ and ‘A Night in Tunisia’ before walking to the studio. Another musician who I’m close with is Heather Leigh. She is an amazing improviser and she inspires me. Check the albums ‘I Abused Animal’, ‘Throne’, the song ‘Prelude to Goddess’ is about me. Heather also played extensively with Peter Brötzmann, and she creates beautiful gardens too @theglamgardener

Rosie Healey cooks dream food. Fresh yum amazing, she teaches me to make things I love too, like the magic dressings and green sauce. I am not as good as her and she sometimes laughs when I make gravy.
