David Hockney talks about opening his 'biggest and best' show ever in Paris The artist opens a major exhibition in Paris, but the 87-year-old feared he wouldnโ€™t make it.

"Some of the iPad paintings are huge. He's 'amazed they could be blown up so big' when they were created on something so small." ๐ŸŒŸ

Back in art college, I once pinned up a blown-up photo of a Dougal-shaped hot water bottle (from Magic Roundabout) in my workspace, with the cryptic caption: "What Does Dog Say?" 'Nuff said

As I recall we very nearly were involved in such a thing at a previous employer... [well, alright it had somewhat of a budget compared to what you're probably referencing here]

Look North (Yorkshire) - Evening News: 30/01/2025 The latest news, sport and weather for Yorkshire.

A huge thank you to Zoe for the mention (and the heads up it was on)!

Looking forward to seeing the exhibition in person when I get the chance. If youโ€™re quick, you can catch the full news report (available for a few hours) here:

Love how this exhibition includes volumetric captures of Hockney & objects from his studio.

They blend with the painting appโ€™s output, creating a unique commentary on perspective. Some of the appโ€™s video exports also make an appearance in the show!

Thereโ€™s a new David Hockney exhibition at Salts Mill

Chuffed to get a little mention in a news report for my role in developing Davidโ€™s app. Always a pleasure to contribute to projects like this!

Return to OZ - Tick Tock Runs out of Brains YouTube video by bebeting

Working on some teleoperation robotics stuff with Vision Pro at the momentโ€ฆ [itโ€™s complicated]. Randomly reminded me of Tik Tok (not that TikTok) from Return to Ozโ€”a proper blast from my childhood. Such an underrated film! Dark, scary, and - best of all - no songs!

Yes, he did some great stuff! Sadly never got to see him/them live in any form, as far as I can recall.

Well remembered! I can remember us chatting about them. These days I could just open up one of the music apps and switch on lyrics view or something ๐Ÿ”Ž

Sorry for your loss, Simon. Dogs truly are the best - itโ€™s heartbreaking to lose a loyal friend and member of the family.
