little girls love owls

Christmas drawings for the human race

Before I start this post properly, there's something I have to go on record about. Despite what Rich Johnston may have said in his most recent LITG, I am not and, never have been, a museum curator. On the other hand, I suppose I am a curator of some sort, all the same, just as [...]

oh yeah, Twinterval

It was okay. I don't really have much to say about it. Except, the following points:
The venue. There really wasn't enough space in the Match Bar to comfortably mingle, causing everyone to either bottleneck uncomfortably in the middle of one long section, or else to get stuck 'round tables in The Bridge area (that's what [...]

interview: Gary Northfield

One of the things that I'd planned to do when I launched this new site back in September was to use the space to interview some of the interesting creative people I know. Here we have the first of these, a Q&A with cartoonist Gary Northfield.

Merry LUXmas!

looking at Us Now

On Wednesday evening, I went to the Prince Charles to a free screening of

It's just that time of year…

I've been quite the social party animal this past week. 'Tis the season and all, except that most of the events weren't actually related Christmas. It's all been a bit mad, so be prepared for a series of long posts.
On Tuesday night I went to the Webby Night at the ICA, which was quite [...]

I had so much to say…

I'm stuck on a really slow connection which is taking forever to upload the pictures that were supposed to go with the posts that I wanted to write. So they'll have to wait. In the meantime, a visit to the comics shop and a chat with the ever-charming Mr Kane reminded me that I had [...]
