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, [...]

Many Hands
1941, the year that gave us Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and David Hill. Yes, my old man just became a septuagenarian and in honour of his birthday I did an illustration to go with his moniker Mad Old Bugger which he esoterically abbreviates to MOBgr. I can’t think why (ahem) but I wanted [...]
Fallen Walking
This afternoon, I walked into the beautiful light and made a wee video:
Handiwork
The Fall Fair that I curated took place on Sunday. It was not as Fall-en as I’d hoped, more like just barely tetering toward cooler at 101 degrees. I wore soft green in an attempt to chivvy the season along. It did not work. Never mind the heat though, even that could not distract from [...]
