This is some of Greg's own artwork which Chris and I are big fans of. He has just started a new blog which he'll be updating with pictures of new work soon at http://dunn-roaming.blogspot.com

Jo showed me a copy of The Upset, a book of contemporary art featuring lots of great artists and loads of my favourites. Here's a quick flick through the book. Definitely worth seeking this one out:
