Goodbye, Sucklord....

The Suck Lord
Absolutely gutted - the Sucklord, contestant on Next Great Artist and substitute fantasy dinner party guest if Grayson Perry is busy, is out! How can that be? Despite naming himself 'Suck Lord' he was pretty much the most charming and agreeable television reality show contestant there's ever been (not a difficult title to take, I suppose). He didn't do himself justice in the competition - it seemed clear that he has real talent and a unique vision but maybe the structure of the show didn't allow that through.  Just like in the last series when Manipulative Miles hung on till the end, the irritating Lola seems to have her place in final assured (this time I'm not spoiling it by looking up who makes it). Now SuckLord is gone I'm rooting for Dusty from Arkansas although Sara Jimenez does some great work. Only two more weeks to go and then, I fear, no more NGA until next year....

Anyway, here is some of the contestants work
