#loo2012 and a new print

Last year’s A Year In Loo print was scarily successful, so I’ve made a new one for 2011′s loos. I’m well proud of this – it’s the same format, an A3 card digi-print showing my 72 favourite loos from #loo2011.

Just as last year, the new print is on uncoated 300gsm card in a signed, hand-numbered [...]

I’ll be playing the forthcoming EP The Taking Of Clarkson’s Lighthouse. It tells the tragic (made up) tale of a divisive genius [...]

What Dispatches should’ve investigated

“They’re just a band.” – Scroobius Pip

If you’re remotely interested in live music (or just fucked off when you can’t get tickets for a show without paying double face value) then last night’s Dispatches programme was essential viewing (watch it on 4OD). It exposed the reality [...]
