When Images Refuse Ownership
The history of modern art repeatedly demonstrates a stubborn truth: no image can ever be owned absolutely. Forms circulate, poses migrate, gestures recur, and meanings survive only insofar as they continue to work on people. Copyright, originality, and authorship may function as legal or institutional devices, but aesthetically they are always provisional. What ultimately matters is not where an image comes from, but whether it generates a lived response — a mood, a tension, a sense of story. Few contemporary paintings illustrate this more clearly than The Singing Butler (1992) by Jack Vettriano, a work that has become both one of the most reproduced images in Britain and one of the most contested.

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.
