The Weather Is Perfect for Driving an Armchair

Needful Things – Door Knocker


Image by Dominic’s pics
Ornate door knocker of Needful Things, an antique furniture and art business, in St James's Street, Kemp Town, Brighton, East Sussex.

Needful Things is the name of Stephen King novel and film.

The kitsch shop is like a splendid part of the Addams Family mansion plonked down onto the street.

The local council claim that the shop does not have planning permission for the style of front door, (and would not gain it, even if applied for).

There appears to be a hypocritical element in the local council’s attitude. In the same street an unlicensed Starbucks has been the focus of protesters as it has been operating for some time despite not having the appropriate planning permission.

Forum: secret and hidden art


Image by Paulo Coelho
Sometimes we are afraid to say that we like some art… In my case, earlier on in my life, I loved ABBA – but it was politically incorrect to say that in public since it was considered a too sweet and low…
I also love writers such as Henry Miller and bestsellers such as Stephen King. It would probably be more politically correct to say that I love Baudelaire – which is not the case.

So, what are your secret, hidden artists that you like but believe others don't?
