Bobby Jealousy: A Little Death
This weekend, I made it out AT NIGHT to see Bobby Jealousy play their album release show. It was ballsy, booming, romping and brilliant– the triple-strength wonder born of the collaboration of three master songsmiths (including my mister). The album will be out and about for real soon and very soon. And by the by, [...]
New Works
February was a good month for shadow boxes and a bad month for almost everything else I am meant to be doing. I have been in the zone! I am particularly excited about my foray into drawing buildings and have been collecting images of London architecture on my pinterest page. There’s something very soothing and [...]
The Journey Is Important…
I have been reading Ignore Everybody by Hugh Macleod, a cartoonist who does his work on the backs of business cards. He is also a blogger, a writer and a creative consultant. Ignore Everybody was his first book and it is full of advice about how to be more creative. It’s a good little read, [...]
February Book Club
Here it is, I’ve been wanting to read this for a while. Mr. Faulkner gets the Fantastic Book Title award. The Sound and the Fury, immense and thunderous!

This week something really heartening happened. My fattening baby is beginning his night sleep earlier, thus I have a new window of time and lo, up sprung a meadow! The sudden bloom of quietly nurtured things has such a unique satisfaction. (Meadow shadowbox, 12″x12″, Dutch book and brown paper)
Paperbackward
I was so happy on Friday, to be digging around the paperback section of Halfprice Books. One of my finds was a little collection of prose musings and essays by Laurie Lee, who authored one of my very favourite books Cider With Rosie. Cider With Rosie is a childhood memoir whose resonance goes beyond its [...]
January Book Club
I’m excited about reading this because this gent wrote one of my favourite book of short stories (I blogged about it here). I liked it so much that I sent Mr. Wilson some origami birds folded from old book pages as a way of saying “well done”. This is Kevin Wilson’s debut novel and he [...]
Oh Simple Thing
I’m being simple at the moment. I don’t know if it is all the uncertainty (visa applications pending) or the new baby or just a time to reprioritise but I have slowed right down and for now, I have let a lot of things go. I have, however, been spending a lot of my snatched [...]
