Is Damien Hirst's Assistant Treading on his Toes?

We're very excited about seeing Rachel Howard's new exhibition tomorrow. Especially as she used to be Damien Hirst's assistant. We do think Hirst is a little bit pretentious, so having someone come in and rain on his parade seems like lots of fun.

Why does he need an assistant anyway? To hold his cup of coffee? Put out his cigarettes? (Where fabricating here, he might like cigars and tea.)

We don't think artists need asssisting. It's like Glitterbitch have someone at Glitterditch HQ just to make her tea, type her stuff when she's tired... oh, now we see. It's not such a bad idea.

Either way, we like her stuff. It's spooky. We can't wait to see it. It's called How to Dissapear Completely and there won't be a pickled shark in sight.
