Frida Kahlo's Miniature.

I'm so in love with this tiny miniature self portrait by Frida Kahlo, painted as a present for her lover Jose Bartoli which goes on sale tonight at Sotherby's and is expected to garner a quarter of million pounds. I am firmly of the belief that these paintings are the most romantic form possible and I don't mind telling you I spent more than half an hour gawping at the Elizabeth I miniature in the lovely mirror exhibition in the Victoria and Albert when it first appeared.

Matt Groening + Comme des Garcons.

An installation has opened in Dover Street Market to celebrate the colloboration of Matt Groening and Comme des Garcons and features one of my favourite childhood cartoon characters, Binky, from Life in Hell. Very happy puppy :)

Steve Bell at the Cartoon Museum.

Steve Bell, the much underestimated satirical cartoonist is being exhibited after thirty years in the business at the much underestimated Cartoon Museum in London.

Brian Frinke's African Dancers.

Brian Frinke's photographs of an African dance troop on the streets of Brooklyn might not be strictly artistic but they really made me smile this morning.

May 1968 - protest posters.

Four Corners Books has just released a volume of the posters created in the May 1968 uprisings in Paris, which chimes nicely for me as I have a growing infatuation with protest posters. I was disappointed to be completely unable to find my favourite slogan of the uprisings, however, displayed out of Barthes university office window; 'Semiotics do not take to the street and neither does Roland Barthes.'

Eyes Wide Shut.

I've just discovered Wang Ningde, a lovely Chinese photographer.

Dasha Yastrebova.

A captivating artist challenging traditional concepts of beauty in these eclectic and sometimes astonishingly intimate images. I love her!

UBIK

Street art is on the rise and one of the most interesting new artist's is UBIK who works in Dubai with his challenging politically charged statements.

In spirit.

Ai Weiwei is in London in spirit if not in body with his beautiful exhibition 'Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads' at the wonderful Somerset House. The political leanings that have cast Weiwei into the hordes of China's great missing are implicit in every element of his lyrical, exceptional and extraordinarily poignant work. The work barely made it out of China and sadly, may be amongst Ai Weiwei's last. 

The Lisson Gallery are also displaying Ai Weiwei's talent focussing on sculpture and hauntingly beautiful cinema pieces. 

Love is what you want.

Tracy Emin famous for being disgusting and having no dignity has just launched an overpriced, talentless display of gross egotism and tedious attempts to shock at the Hayward Gallery. Ooh! Perhaps she would have been better channelling her previous sensationally boring titled 'My Cunt is Wet With Fear' to 'Come and look at my art, please. I'm a soppy talentless cunt.'
