I’M GOING FOR A NAP! 

Hey. I'm Barrie J Davies, a Brighton-based Welsh street pop surrealism artist, accidental paint goblin, and a man held together almost entirely by caffeine, neon paint fumes, and the unearned confidence of a raccoon who has somehow hot-wired a bumper car and now believes it owns the road.

Welcome to my podcast. I apologise in advance, but only in the same way a tornado apologises to a garden shed.

This is a daily podcast, which is a genuinely questionable life choice for someone who once lost a coffee mug under a pile of canvases for so long that it probably emigrated, started a new family, and now refuses to answer my calls. There are now 330 episodes of this thing. At this point, nobody is entirely sure whether it's a podcast, a performance artwork, or evidence being gathered for future legal proceedings.

I also have a website, www.barriejdavies.info, which is possibly the most concentrated collection of artistic chaos currently available online. It contains paintings, prints, sculptures, exhibitions, projects, and what can only be described as alarming proof that nobody has yet stepped in to stop me. The entire website is basically an attempt to organise the contents of a brain that once spent half an hour deciding which shade of neon yellow best represented the emotional state of a flamingo being told it couldn't park there.

If you enjoy chaotic studio nonsense, questionable creative decisions, and regular evidence that glitter may actually possess supernatural abilities, follow my Instagram @barriejdavies for behind-the-scenes artwork, studio updates, painting disasters, and ongoing proof that buying more paint is not a substitute for a personality.

There are no guests on this podcast. There are no meaningful silences, no whispered conversations about the symbolism of triangles, and no softly spoken man called Sebastian explaining emotional collapse while an accordion cries beside a chair made entirely from recycled spoons. It's just me, talking far more often than any reasonable person should.

The podcast itself has the energy of a supermarket trolley full of spray paint that has become sentient, rejected all advice, and is now rolling downhill through Brighton while a seagull follows behind shouting insults. Every episode is simply whatever escaped my brain before it became a matter for local authorities. One day it's a new painting. The next it's an unnecessarily detailed investigation into why pigeons walk like middle managers trying to avoid an awkward conversation.

The studio currently looks like a children's television channel exploded inside a graffiti tunnel. There is paint on the walls, paint on the floor, paint on clothes specifically chosen to avoid getting paint on them, and somehow paint on the toaster. The toaster has never once been involved in the artistic process. The toaster is innocent. The toaster deserved better.

Glitter also continues to appear in rooms where glitter has never been and has absolutely no logical means of arrival. I've ruled out drafts, visitors, and basic physics. The only explanation left is that glitter is haunted, has developed self-awareness, and is slowly spreading.

The whole operation is loud, messy, colourful, and operating well beyond the boundaries of common sense. Several international health-and-safety organisations would probably like a word, but I'm choosing to focus on my art instead.

So come and join the chaos. Visit the website. Follow the Instagram. Subscribe to the podcast. Do all three if you're feeling particularly brave. Just be warned: once you're in, the glitter eventually finds you. Nobody knows how. Nobody knows why. But it always does.
