“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

CHRISTIAN'S LIPSEX AND TRYPOPHOBIA

DRINKSTER loves the  alarming work of London-born US artist Colin Christian and - only partly for its gastronomic implications - shares his fascination with trypophobia (below)

Colin's new series in silicone, Giant Lipsex, would look stunning in any hypercool tasting room ... I want one of these for Exmess ... fellow Virgoans might note there's not one fleck of lipstick on any of these teeth ... Colin says that while a tricky material to work with, silicone permits him to "achieve his goal of true cartoon realism, a line drawing made flesh" ... All these images are reproduced with the kind permission of the artist (below):
