earth wind and fire

This shop hilariously shares the same name as 70's soul sensations Earth Wind and Fire. In what seemed like a good idea at the time, my friend Darren and I decided to compile such occurrences on this flickr site.

Now, be warned - only those willing to accept the most tenuous of connections (as well as those with a working knowledge of vaguely obscure rap acts) may wish to take a look.

grifter

Here's an 'old' one...



... by which I mean 'I did it ages ago, but it's only just come out'.

Grifter are a band from Plymouth. They make that kind of balls-out rock (I think that needed to be in bold) that's influenced by Black Sabbath, Scissorfight and Clutch. My mate Phil plays bass for them -and at the end of 2006(!), he asked if I'd draw a picture for the cover of the band's new CD. I said yes, Phil. I'll draw you a picture if you like.

That new CD finally got a release (of sorts) a month or so ago. In this interview, Ollie from the band explains the delay, and also mentions the cover and how the character I drew has been adopted as the band's mascot.

Be warned though, he does a swear.

modern classics

Amazing what you can find in charity shops if you look. I found a load of books, you see. Books that I could have sworn blind had only been published in recent years.

Take this, for example - a first edition paperback of Jeremy Clarkson's compendium of tedious opinions, 'Born To Be Riled'. From 1963, no less.

Sometimes, I just can't believe my eyes luck. Here's two more :

sleeping on the job

It's been a bit quiet round here recently. Apologies. I've been up to bits and bobs here and there, but it's either unfinished or not quite ready for you guys to see...
