    Peter, visit www.signbuyer.co.uk and you can have your own neon sign for about £150.

    As you probably know the government art collection spent £14,000 on two prints featuring Margate by Tracey Emin, see http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/june.html this makes one wonder what an original drawing would cost.

    I suppose in the modern sense a neon sign is a form of print, I say in the modern sense as in the past artists mostly did the craft part of making a print, scratching the lines on a bit of metal or whatever, but now I think they are mostly computer scanned.

    I am afraid I don’t even bother with the scanning, the felt tip sketch to illustrate this post, I just photographed it, hence the grey on grey, but then I am not an artist in the sense that Tracey is.

    Something that does worry me though is David Cameron’s part in this, I mean does he expect us to believe that the neon represents his taste in art?

    I did notice that his hair has receded since I last drew him back in May, perhaps this is related. I suppose it is a good thing that it wasn’t Tracey’s neon that said, “I felt you, and I knew you loved me,” as I would have had to have done a full length drawing.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
