Menton Daily Photo has today kindly made a reference to Nipper, HMV, and this blog.
Here is a painting of Nipper, listening intently, in the Toilet Gallery (art gallery) sited in a converted toilet in Nipper Alley, Kingston upon Thames.
I know you are all waiting for an arty shot of two walking sticks, but this is hot stuff, and far better!!
Imagine a tripod in the alleyway, and me hobbling and leaping "stickless" (sticks parked against a trash bin) setting the camera to snap two seedy blokes chatting in a toilet doorway.
It's my first real "outing" apart from a trip in a taxi to the physiotherapist. The scene is two real, absolutely genuine "artists" chatting in the doorway of the "Toilet Gallery" in Kingston upon Thames. The gallery is run by Kingston University and is sited in a derelict ladies' toilet down an alleyway behind a pub. AND.....get this!!!!! Behind the toilet in the other courtyard is the grave of Nipper; the dog who features on the famous HMV (His Master's Voice) record label. (I'm grateful to the curator and the artists featured who went to a small amount of trouble to help me create this image.)
