The haystack seems to be getting larger with each post. I've got a better chance of seeing the Queen and Prince Phillip cycling around London on a tandem... with Charles and Camilla on another one not far behind!

Extracts from BBC Suffolk interview:

Did he wait to see who picked up the work he left?

"Not at the time in Ipswich. I'd always walk away whilst leaving paintings but there'd be occassions where people would come up to me in pubs and stuff and say 'ah, you're the guy who does the paintings' or I'd always meet someone who knew someone who had one of the paintings I'd left out which was quite funny.

"When I moved to London I started doing it in East London predominately because I lived in that area. Once people realised I was doing it the people who knew in that area knew what to look for and to collect them.

"To do a whole London show I thought it would be nicer to give people a fair chance by letting people know beforehand I was going to do it. I don't know if it's going to be a mad rush. It's a big old city but the thousand paintings will soon get swallowed up."

Asked about the role of Flickr and similar sites in documenting art on the streets:

"I'm not so worried. The only reason I thought to tell people about the fact that I was doing it is because otherwise I would have left 1000 round london and nobody would ever have known, so the whole thing would never of existed.

"I did that for years by myself really. I've left over 6000 pieces but there's no proof they really existed as such apart from me doing them. If people find them on the streets and take a photo of them it's a nice thing I guess, but I'm not too worried about the end result."

Thoughts on fakes of his work and whether he really can remember every painting he's ever done:

"I get shown ones which I don't remember doing but I look at it and can tell if it was me or not who did it, if that makes sense. Just by the line of the paint brush or the colours I've used, or how I do the signature.

"If somebody tries to copy the signature chances are they don't do it right and I can tell. It's quite funny that people want to forge work considering it was free in the first place. That's an interesting concept in itself."

Were do they get the 1 million pounds from, the papers seem to put a value of £1000.00 on each of the prints. Signed prints are less than that now.
