An Amazing Long-Long Lunch
Posted: May 12, 2011

Yesterday, I had an amazing long-long lunch of lively conversations with Savage Pencil, Oscar Grillo, Mario Cavalli and Dave McKean at The Union, Soho. Big big thanks to Oscar, Mario and Dave for the invite and scrumptious food and wine. Oscar is about to jet off to Buenos Aires where he has an exhibition of his drawings and paintings entitled Gente de Londres (London People) opening May 19th at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, with works by guests Dave McKean, Mario Cavalli and Matt Cruickshank. McKean has wrapped up his next major book collaborating with Richard Dawkins, The Magic of Reality: How we know what’s really true, out in September, and he’s looking forward to a very rare, well-deserved holiday driving round Scotland for ten days. And Mr Pencil is beavering away on secret wonders in his Streatham studio, whose fevered creation Mario is filming - more about this to come! As a souvenir, here’s a post-prandial portrait of us, taken by a stranger for us - thank you sir!
