“Hello... We are Romula & Rema, and we have taken this blog over after our predecessor - the original Artist-Rat, Tony Blair - passed away. He was a self-taught artist who created work from media like paper, foliage, fabric and electrical cables - and clay. He passed away in March 2008, so we never met him, which makes us sad, and made Helena sad too we think. But now we are here, in occupation of Tony’s Blue Plaque’d rat house, writing his blog. So far, it is going quite well.
