HOME OF METAL

coming up soon from Capsule, Home of Metal

For too long Birmingham and the West Midlands have failed to celebrate what is rightfully theirs, to claim the city and the region as home of “heavy metal”. With 2008 being the 40th anniversary of when the phrase “Heavy Metal” was coined it seems like a crucial time to start celebrating!

One of my photos on there too, I do believe (I would have made some more effort if I’d’ve known no one else was taking pictures. As it was my attention was diverted slightly by the free nibbles and wine. I can but apologise).

New artwork soon…

Suicide Hill, 10x7 ink and gouache, 1999.

Honest.

i found a list today that I’d written a few months ago. It read…

Post stuff
Washing up!!! (Xmas)
Defrost Freezer
Hoover
Garden – Suburbia
Buy lightbulbs
Police Raid

I think I’ve just figured out what/when it was from. I promise a more linear post next time…

I may never get any work done…

i just found out you can install laser squad* as a java program, the 48k Spectrum version you understand. Fantastic!

*Site no longer live.

Sunburnt return*

after a fantastic show from Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls in London on thursday night (Birmingham diary date October 3rd) it was off to the Isle of Wight where they secretly still hold the british summer…

Ah, thats what sunshine looks like.

*Actually I don’t have sunburn; but the skin on my forehead is peeling slightly, leaving me with that science teachers dandruff effect all down my black shirt, however thats not really a snappy**, or particularly pleasant, title I didn’t think.

**Not that any of the previous titles have been that snappy…

The Red Knob 2.0

very pleased to have had a rather large part, if I do say so myself, in the design and creation of the The Red Knob website, version 2.0.

The Red Knob Website

The Red Knob is a limited company offering Sexual Health Education, Resources and Training, who I’ve been fortunate enough to create several illustrations, a couple of comic strips and the all new, all singing and all dancing website.
