My iconoclastic, pagan queer hero and role model. I was absolutely in tears seeing the retrospective exhibition of his Art at Manchester Art Gallery in 2022. The highlight to my year. I will never see the vast collection in one studio again. It was immense!

I never met Derek but he once refused an invitation to a book launch I was organising with the most kind refusal and beautiful hand writing

Fascinating. The Kubrick film he was asked to do was Barry Lyndon. Kubrick's regular production designer Ken Adam had had a nervous breakdown. With The Devils Derek had proved how great he was, but he never really loved being a production designer, he was a storyteller by nature. Eventually Ken Adam did do Barry Lyndon, but it says a lot that Derek was the only other person Kubrick even considered for the job, and when Derek said no he just waited for Ken Adam.

He was a very interesting and attractive man. Seems like a really lovely guy.

Derek Jarman died on 19th February 1994 on the very same night that the gay community marched to Parliament to lower the Gay Age of consent from 21 down to 18. One of my very oldest school friends, Paul Selous was on the march and so was I, we have known each-other all through our school years, since we were 5 years old. Although we never had sex together, so far, both 55 now. We were told Derek had died as we reached the gates of Parliament actually, at the end of the march. It was lowered to 18 later that year.

The 1980’s was so great, a real diversity of colourful characters, unlike today where homogenised woke people all think they’re interesting and alternative but in fact are corn fed what to think and are just passive aggressive. They don’t want to be main stream but insist on being included and accepted by the main stream. They are just idiots. But back in the 80’s it was all about being individual and not needing acceptance from anyone, especially the mainstream. They didn’t cry about their hard luck stories, they used them to make themselves more determined. They didn’t go around insisting that everyone accepted them they just did their own thing and got on with it. They were cool.
