If you could have any famous painters paint Paul in their style why would you choose?

Paul's favourite painter is René Magritte so I'm sure it'd be a honor for him to be depicted in his work. I think a lot of contemporary artists I know could masterfully depict something similar to Paul's creative inner world that we know from his songs. And not to sound like all those fangirls, but it'd be really hard for anyone to illustrate his beauty, don't you think?

Did Paul ever pay for a painting in ass?

What do you mean? I'd obviously never do that to him... I have a honest business and my relationship with Paul are strictly platonic.

I think Brett Anderson from Suede circa 1999 looks like you and he's also super tall

Gosh! You're right! I don't know how to feel about that... He seems to be a very fine man.

dude what it's actually crazy he does look like him kinda though idk anything about the guy

Do you think Paul is a talented painter?

I’ve seen a few of his works and loved them. He’s not only a good musician, but he draws very well too. I think he’s a bit insecure about it, he's still discovering art for himself. He’s incredibly talented in a lot of unexpected ways…

What was your trip with Paul McCartney to Paris like? What do you enjoy most about spending time with him?

We had a very lovely time there. One of my favourite moments was how excited Paul was when I told him that my old Parisian friend’s gallery was all about René Magritte, which he loves. He picked up a few but later said that he wishes he’d bought more. It’s all the charm and humour of his that is always talked about, and that’s true, you always have a laugh with him, but I especially admire his passion for art. I love being around artists, and he’s a really good one. When I lay my hands on them, I’ll be sure to bring to Paul a few more Magrittes that I think he’ll like.

I hear the Indica Gallery is quite an interesting place, and not far from Duke Street. Have you visited there and if so, what did you think?

I’ve had my share of knowing and working with this small gallery owner, John Dunbar. It’s through him that I got to know Paul McCartney. I think they’re a great bunch with a good cause, even if they aren’t exactly the exquisite type.

If you want to know more about Indica, I suppose you should ask @ask-60sbarrymiles
