Now, with a major new release of hundreds of files into the National Archives, Purvis and Hulbert reveal just how this charming establishment insider was able to fool everyone for so long.

Puffing on his imported cigars, Jim soon learns that no one on the island is more unique, diverse, or hilarious than his unlikely counterpart: a man simply known as Kram.

Art Biz Talk is a podcast for a bold generation of Visual artists who are building their Personal Brand. I’ve been in the creative industry for over two decades and am a practicing sculptor myself.

There’s a lot of gatekeeping, opaqueness and outdated strategies in play, and I believe any artist pursuing their career wholeheartedly can define what success means to them and develop long-term strategy to reach their vision and ...
