a big pot of hot (or how i stopped worrying and learn to love the bum)

i've got a photo shoot coming up this weekend... actually paid!... i'm taking the photo for the shadowcops debut album 'a big pot of hot', which will be released in january/february next year... it should be interesting and i'll post the photo(s) when i'm done... listen to some ear-bleeding rock and roll here (for men only)...

meanwhile, here's a photo of my nephew's... the colouring is a little flat but i can't be bothered to fix it right now...

human or dancer?

an old photo but i like the colours... plus i think suzy looks ace on it in a tongue-in-cheek way (she hates it)...

i don't think i've listened to much apart from the new killers single 'human' in the last twenty-four hours... i actually have a lot of love for the killers - i'm not really a massive fan of mainstream indie but i have a soft spot for these, particularly their second album... 'human' sounds less like springsteen and has a sort of european dance-type feel to it - if that makes sense...

othello

here is a poster i've been working on for lancaster university's production of shakespeare's othello. it's the first of at least two, maybe three, posters that i'm planning on doing to promote the show. i think i'm supposed to be taking the publicity photos too nearer the time...

the poster is supposed to represent a bloodstained, battered hardback copy of othello from the 19th century (or 18th century, whatever) that has been crudely modified by some student promoting a theatre show...

i can't decide whether it's the most satisfying poster i've done so far (of the three i've finished) or whether i will learn to hate it. probably both...

it's not the full-size version btw - that's over 7mb in total...

cigarettes and alcohol

moved into our new house in lancaster on saturday... our attic room is pretty huge, could fit two double-beds easily...

glass structures

recently i've been experimenting with various synthesizers in logic pro. mainly making noise and strange waves. you can see the results here. it's not exactly what you would call music and it's very experimental. imagine ramleh was asked to score a stan brakhage film. well, it would probably sound like glass structures.

a way to pass the time i guess.

oh, and i go back to lancaster this weekend... hull has had its fill of me and is sending me back across the country.
