Thrifty Bits LP cover

Front cover for the new 'Thrifty Bits' mix put together by good friend Farmer Glitch over at Thrifty Vinyl. It's significant as it marks the first (definitely non-canonical) appearance of Dr Felicity Frobisher - a key element of a still under wraps Kek/Fade collaborative project. I won't say much about her, but it's perfectly feasible that at least one incarnation of Dr Frobisher would have spent the 70's lounging around in ruby safety specs on the cover of cheesy compilation albums.

Little pic I knocked up on MSPaint this morning with 2nd.SON. He always asks for Bossk, which is good as I hate drawing Boba Fett.

Don't know why.... always find drawing skulls difficult... the one below is meant to be the remains of W.G.Grace... It's for a Kek Project - won't say anymore, 'cos to be honest I'm not sure I've got much of a handle on it yet...

V Festival '09

V Festival '09

And lo, during the Fatboy Slim set, Iggy didst appear from the sky and offer to sell us insurance.....

Some stuff trawled up from the bottom of my sketch file - much of it posted before. Just trying to get some ideas together for something.

The band are 'Circle'. In an earlier life, I saw them at the Cube in Bristol, alongside Kid Shirt (the real one) and a much earlier incarnation of Loki23.....

You Shall Become Like Us....

"You Shall Become Like Us"

Currently showing at the Slack Space Gallery, Colchester.....

(As part of the ongoing Colin Tubb marketing strategy, The Illustration Exhibition also features a fine art rendition of Mr Tubb integrated with contemporary 'street' photography. Of course, strict blog editorial policy restricts me from publishing online material from current or future editions of Woofah, so you'll have to go along to the gallery to see it)

You close your eyes... and hope that this is just imagination....

Thriller

A little belated tribute to Michael Jackson, as part of the ongoing Colin Tubb 'Non-Canonical Collection'...

I've a feeling Vic would totally 'get' Michael Jackson, blankly filtering out the bloated semiotic overload and heading straight through to the yelping and moonwalking ....

Rust (Frinton seafront)

Rust (Frinton seafront)

Rust (Frinton seafront)

I love rust..... so difficult to believe it's not organic.... the way it spreads and colonises and thrives on decay













After years of getting those little 'I Love FWD' emails in my inbox, I finally went to FWD last night... great stuff.

I was surprised at how small and intimate the venue was. I was expecting that after seven years the night might have mutated into something much more monstrous in scale, more in the vein of Bristol's Subloaded, but it seems to have remained true to first form, for a night much more like something I'm used to at venues like Cosies or Native.

Equally surprising, after the album, I was expecting from Geeneus a journey into a kind of funky / wonky territory that I don't really understand, but instead got a great MC-led set that I struggled to tear myself away from at the end, but this event and the train-timetable only just about work for me.

Still, good to meet up with fellow dadblogger Jon Rowett and, after a year away from Bristol, great to hear something with my diaphragm as well as my eardrum again....
