No Pain, No Gain

Stephane, a skinhead from France who plays in the band Curling Ultras sent me this picture of his new tattoo which I'm pleased to say features some of my artwork..

I'm loving the big cobweb.

Lomography

Last month I was given this fish eye camera from the Lomography Society who asked me to take photographs of what I get up to with my artwork and anything else I wanted to take pictures of, they will then be publishing my photographs alongside an interview.

I've been taking shots with it all over the place for the last few weeks and I'll be sending my reels of film back to the Lomography European headquarters in Austria next week so I should have my pictures and a link to the interview up within the next few weeks or so.
You should check out their website by clicking here

Cheers to Lucas Jakobsson for asking me to get involved with this project!

You Can't Avoid It. . .

It's nearly time for The Wet Spot!
I'll be there playing records again and they will also have copies of my book for sale on the night.
