Two years later I completed the Marie Rua painting for the exhibition Not What You'd Expect.I've carried on in this vein with mylatest IPG paintings - portraits of Julie Christie, EP Thompson, Jean Ritchie, Jack Kerouac and Emmylou Harris, along with a scary self portrait.

"A superb, deadpan introduction by Stewart Lee spuriously places the book into a serious literary tradition, comparing Bradford's half-finished anecdotes and margin doodles to the work of Czech surrealists, Arthur Machen and even Raphael, when we all know the author is just a beardy bloke in a shed with some snails...
