Most of us consider ourselves pretty fortunate if we happen to be half decent at one thing, but there are a select few individuals whose talents extend to multiple disciplines.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One member of this rare breed is Tim Muddiman <\/strong>who, after decades performing with Gary Numan<\/strong>, solo and also latterly Pop Will Eat Itself, <\/strong>is now releasing The Geometrical Swing <\/strong><\/em>– a book featuring 50 of his art works.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Produced between 2019 and 2022 Muddiman’s colourful abstract paintings draw inspiration from the world around him, architecture and design, but also street art and graffiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He began working on the pictures after deciding to lay down his guitar at the end of a triumphant but gruelling world tour with Gary Numan, who generously contributes a foreword to his former bassist’s new book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here Muddiman tells Matt Catchpole <\/strong>about his transition from musician to artist, how he first fell in love with painting and his battle with chronic tinnitus, which he likens to sticking his head in a jet engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
