Here’s some close up details of the paper fruits arrangement: My new facebook cover photo:

I’ve been going through an odd Scandanavian phase this past week. I finally picked up ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” to read (although I initially only started reading it because my colour coordinated bookcase needed more yellow and it was a book with a yellow spine…) and I couldn’t put it down. I raced […]
I wanted to share something awesome that didn’t come from me today. Okay so this one is a tiny bit of a cop out, as I didn’t have to do much searching to find it (I work for Martin Creed as an assistant.) But just looking at it makes me happy. It’s his new work […]
Woke up this morning and went swimming for the first time in ages (therapist’s orders!) It felt great, after nearly 5 months of being sidelined with the ol foot injury, to be able to exercise again, and to do so in a way which felt fairly weightless. It’s left me in a bit of a […]
Following on from the post about submissions to the Londonist’s call for ‘Tube Etchings’ ( more info here ) and a suggestion that I do more quick sketches, I thought I’d try a couple new tube themed water colour sketches. I decided I’d base them on this picture, which is one of my favourites. It’s […]
This isn’t a new project but a revisited project from a few years ago. The Londonist, one of my favourite blog websites, is searching for original artwork and photographs that relate to subterranean London for a show at the Bishopsgate Institute. Artwork and the Underground is a match made in heaven for me, so I […]
A while ago I went on a domestic binge and decided to hand sew pillowcases for the odd shaped pillows in the house. At the time, I never got further than the purchasing of material. This is not a huge surprise. But finally, a full pillowcase has been sewn! Got to this step without photo […]
Just a quick one today – still working on new background options for twitter. The tough bit is finding the correct dimensions for the twitter background. Every website you look at has different dimensions suggested, so I’m hoping that having a nice tiled photo collage will work out. Below are some options so far. Tube […]
The London Transport Museum, in conjunction with TFL, occasionally does ‘Vehicles on the Move’ days where they take old stock out of the depot and run it on the lines. On September 9th 2012, I went along to one of these days. They ran the historic Sarah Siddons engine with original (although very refurbished) Metropolitan […]
Living with a photographer means my photos never ever look as good as the ones he takes. There’s just no competition, so I’ve got to try to come up with other ways to make my holiday snaps interesting. I took web images of maps of some of the places that I’ve visited over the past […]
