OUCH! RESURRECTION

my ouch is back!
but in the form of 'work in progress'
want to get that 40s film credits look...
going to try satin melodramatics next!

one of my favorites is MILDRED PIERCE..
life ain't easy...

LONDON CALLING!

MAMAS PAPITOS

OMG! my sister makes the best cakes in the WORLD!
the picture makes it look like chopped fruit,
but no! underneath the fruit and behind the paper cups is
chocolate and orange heaven
i had the honor of baptising them when she first made them with her friend..
''Oh Mama!'' is the first thing one says on the first (and every) tasting
during the serious naming discussion the friend was playing manu chao and the song was about papas!
so..
mamas papitos

GHOST HUG

the scary ghost at the top turned out to be not so scary!
i found him all curled up and vulnerable the next day.

DONE TO DO

going to the London Book Fair soon so am working most images
into potential new cover directions...
john cage is uploading a little peculiar - colour wise, will try to sort that out..

THAT'S JUST PEACHY

60's ORIGINAL

new bag!
have been looking for one for a while
and this actually does not fit the bill
as it cannot hold my laptop
but i am not going to hold that against it!
love this vision in raffia!

bought at 'alfies'
a place of vintage and antique enlightenments..
one of my favorite london secrets!
am working on a poster for it and some of its dealers.
i urge everyone to go to this Art Deco Labyrinth
of crazy characters and beautiful relics from the past!

BLOOD FACTORY

may do some more factories... hmmm
have always thought that in my last life i was a factory worker
totally love mass production set ups!
have pencilled in 'BONY BLOOD MAKERS' for now,
was going to print the words on, but i quite like writing on 'dem bones.
think i will make some bony stationary too.

SUGARHILL GANG

me and my crew back in da 80s!
golden boy in the front is my brother cian
who last week was scanning in some old family super8 films for a college project...

really must dust off my camera and invest in some more film soon
create some future sentimental journeys

BLOOD FACTORY

this used to be a factory making some sort of medical blood refining machines
its set in a nice mostly deco 'light industrial' area in manor house.
i tagged along today when the boys were making plans to turn it into their home and studio
when they are all done with the hard work i will have a little piece of it too!
new studio!
yay!
