"My Dog & Other VIPs"

Everyone and their dog is welcome along to this...


The Opening Reception is 7pm on 3rd April at the Firestation Creative. Come on - it'll be FUN!

I loved being a part of the 50th anniversary celebration of Blood On The Tracks organised by Thi Wurd. I made sure to tell my story of the time I lobbed a tartan scarf at Bob mid-set at the SEC, Glasgow in the early 90s. (A good chunk of my self-respect seemed to float off into the evening darkness along with it - but hey, technically He spoke to me.) 

I have a piece (an ink portrait of Marty Feldman) in a group show of art by drummers. You can catch Crash Ride Snare at Dunoon Burgh Hall running until the end of March.

 I liked this short piece of writing - 'The Loneliest Bench In Glasgow' by Peter Ross.

And I like this (look out, Nancy & Lee):


This is a moving documentary.

I like this piece by Jean Arp.

And here comes some of my you-know-what...

I was glad to design a postcard for Michael Shelley for the WFMU fundraiser.


"Loch Ness: They Created A Monster" was just shown on BBC Two. I recommend catching up with it here purely because I composed the music.

Mina Smallman on Desert Island Discs is a powerful listen.

I love these Mime and Handkerchief drawings by Quentin Blake. 

And also this:

And I dig these Post Office posters by Dorrit Dekk.
