umber three in the increasingly random series of roadside photos.

I was at the post office today, and whist endlessly queuing and pondering whether Kangaroos really cannot walk down stairs I was surprised to find myself surrounded on every worksurface and shelf by…

Still, it’ll give the local paper something to write about I suppose…

reck Road, Liverpool.

I wonder if its still there…

Based on a drawing from a photo I took and then lost. I never went inside of ‘Pets Bazzaar’, I’m not sure why…

I’m not completely happy with either the colouring on this or the photo of it. I either need to invest in a A3 size scanner, or start working smaller.

ast nights wind and rain woke me up, which at least gave me the title for this. Now added to the artwork portfolio…

umber two in the occasional series of roadside photos. I’ll either get bored with this once the weather changes or I won’t…

‘ve just read of a cheaply priced [what they used to call ‘mid-price’] compilation from one of the DJ’s of the Screamin’ festival, DJ AT[?], its called Foot tappin’ & Dance at the screamin’ festival. The festival itself is celebrating its tenth year, not sure if I’ll be making it this year though, disappointingly.

I noticed it at HMV here in the UK for £5.99 or if you’re located elsewhere, you can buy it direct from El Toro for €10.

No sign of the promised Caroline Casey album as yet though…

umber one in an occasional series of roadside photos, or photos taken at the roadside, if you prefer…

nd Happy everything…

Okay, so its a little late to be welcoming in the New Year, well, unless your either Russian or Chinese I guess, in which case, not quite so late.

Anyway I wrote most of this before christmas, when I started work on the new design and layout. The new Site is powered by Wordpress, which, in theory, should make updates easier and the site more interactive [you can leave comments on what infrequent posts there are].

Oh, and now I’ve cleared my web design work backlog and sorted out the layout of my site, maybe I’ll get chance to do a few drawings…

That is all.

r so it seems.

Went to see Henry Rollins do one of his spoken word shows there earlier tonight, was a great show, if a little bum numbing due to the three hour plus talk time. Entertaining thoughout though.

The show length did also lead to a slightly confused, and not unnoticed, mass exodus while Henry was still midway through a Christopher Walken anecdote. See while the doors to the show opened at seven, and the stage time was eight-ish, the latest car park in the town, the Civic Centre car park, only opens till eleven pm, when it gets locked down for the night [I have to say it, the car park, is a fantastically dated sixties job full of leaking cement walls, overpowering lights and totaly confusing in its layout - I loved it].

Anyway, as the choice came to a night spent wandering the streets of wolverhampton or missing the last ten minutes of the show, well, the Car Park won. If any one knows how the story ended, please drop me a line…
