Things I have done so far this summer

Last week we had a gig at MRBLHAUS. Here's the flyer I made for it.


It was really good, nice people, nice atmosphere. The world is not flat! were magical in our little echoey basement with fairy lights and pom-poms all around. The surprise of the night was the Louche FC who only asked to play at the last minute, everyone was proper into them, they're all fuzzy and 60's http://www.myspace.com/thebicyclethievesuk . All the other bands were brill too, Debbie of The Awkard Turtles/Strums of Indigo, or 'Deorah' on 'ere brought her bags and necklaces and broaches which I would buy had I any money.

After how rad that one was we're probably going to put on more gigs so if you'd like to come and play in MRBLHAUS basement you should ask and if you're good we'll make something happen.

Today I got some lino-cutting things and did a little one of a nice fractal-y leaf that I took a picture of once in a garden centre.


Finally, here is an illustrated article on making damson gin that I've done for an upcoming edition of 'The Shrieking Violet'. Of course it has to look good in black and white mainly, but I tried to make it look nice in colour too.

Alien Flamenco

Othersounds the next generation asked me to do a flyer for their clubnight. This is it, not got any writing on though yet obvs. They wanted it in black and white but that didn't stop me colouring it in completely stupid colours. An Alien Flamenco dancer is pretty bloody 'other'.

Rat King

I rly like drawing mice and rats with felt tips in wrong colours. Did a flyer for my friend Stuart with a be-crowned mouse on.

Reeel wintry

Cover for the December edition of The Shrieking Violet, Natalie's brill zine. Basically the view from my bedroom window in Winter.

Christmas Cards! Never waste a stencil huh.

a few recent things

We had a gig on in our basement at MRBLHAUS, it was brill, I did a flyer for it which is directly above these here words. At the top are some little illustrations I did for The Shrieking Violet which is a monthly zine loosely about Manchester.

no camera

I don't have photos of anything, haven't got a camera. So I'm just going to make a little memoir of the stuff I've done this year, here.

I put on some gigs, with friends, and made posters.
