Chin Wag with Chet Zar




Here's a real treat. I had the honor of being invited onto the mighty Chet Zar's, Dark Art Society podcast recently, talking about all manner of things. Influences, origins, art stuff and our shared appreciation of Withnail and I. 
To use a quote from that film, just when thought "the only programme I was likely to get on was the fucking news!"
Anyway it was a blast and I thoroughly enjoyed our "chin,chin" wag. Thank you so much Chet.

Sugar Buzz




Back after a bout of dreadful lurgy following my holiday sabbatical home. Home by turns wasn't so sad, but magic,idyllic- all the Raymond Briggsesque, warm family hearth of brewing parochial Englishness I could hope for. 

So here I am, mid January 2019, sequestered in the studio once more,frantically staring down the barrel with less than the final two months to go before the opening. Lumee!!  No more did that reality descend like a vampires teeth, than when opening the pages of the latest Hi Fructose magazine, and this rather lovely snippet confronted me. 

It's a big deal, an honor and very welcome first as things go. Thank you HF and Dark Art Emporium, a much needed sugar buzz, that other high energy drinks fail to.




Still two more pieces to go, so no time to lose before showtime.
