To anyone who has run tried to run a marathon, this woman is just plain amazing. Paula Radcliffe, winner of the New York marathon 2007. She is, also, clearly, a bit bonkers.

A reminder that the DACS show about political imagery is still on at their gallery in central London and tonight they are having a late evening viewing until 9pm. There is some terrific stuff in the show and it’s well worth a visit if you can get down there. This photograph of Margaret Thatcher by Roger Bamber* is a part of the show. I have some still and animated work exhibited. The Kowalsky gallery is at 33 Great Sutton Street, London and the show is on until the end of January. Full details are on the gallery page at their website.
