I promised more book recommendations, so here are a couple that I'm recommending even though I haven't read them (yet) myself!

Last week there was a launch party for David B's Black Paths, at Clerkenwell Tales, a lovely little bookshop in Exmouth Market….

I really ought to plug stuff on here more often. Not my stuff — other peoples' stuff. I know so many people who make cool stuff, and I'm a fan of so many people who make cool stuff that I really ought to tell more people about the cool stuff. So here's a post about some cool stuff, namely one of my favourite comics series of all time….

Fans of light trickery and abstract imagery should visit this exhibition before it ends on March 27th (and hope when they get there that it's not too crowded)…..

This week the Grant Museum re-opened in a new location, although if you were to visit the new venue and didn't know it was a new venue, it wouldn't be at all obvious. Housed in an Edwardian library, a double-height room with a balcony on the second level, it feels as though the collection had [...]

I'm finally getting around to blogging about this year's London Open House which took place a couple of weekends ago…

Sometimes it's too easy to forget just how much there is to discover or revisit in London. Last week I went to a preview of a great exhibition of Hypercomics, which has filled Battersea Park's Pump House Gallery with magical mystery and multi-directional narrative.

A few days ago, I went to tThe Complete History of Food, presented by Bompas & Parr. Despite the fact that the title was a bit of a misnomer (there was nothing "complete" about their history, and, given that it was sponsored by a cognac company, it didn't really feel much like a history of food), it was an entertaining and unusual night out with two of my best pals, Nikki and Billy.
