Fight by Nikola Stanković I first worked with my friend, the Serbian artist Nikola Stanković, in 2018, when I opened a virtual art gallery, Glinka Gallery, in the virtual world of Second Life where my avatar uses the virtual name, Wolfgang Glinka: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Seaforth/85/198/29 Nikola Stanković’s outstanding paintings formed our first exhibition there, where I was…

My debut poetry collection -Remembering Blue – is published.

This week sees the publication of my debut poetry collection, Remembering Blue by Ward Wood Publishing.
