Spending as much time as possible drawing, photographing and making clothes. My current sideproject is to finally complete my illustrations for 101 Uses Of Guineapigs, of which i'm lacking a few of the 101. But 78 Uses For Guineapigs doesn't quite sound as good.
Dreaming of someday moving to Berlin and leaving the crazy rush of the UK behind in a land where public transport doesn't stop at midnight.
Accidental stalking. As in not meaning to stalk bands but somehow firstly running into them and secondly managing to make a cringeworthy mess of a conversation with them. Of which my greatest achievement it finding Jarvis Cocker trying to hide in a field, next to a blue bouncy castle.
Going to too many gigs, spending all my money on travelling to them and then sulking that I couldn't go to more.
The lesser known part of my life is spent 'twitching'. This is not some crazy dance move. Rather the type of twitch you associate with birdwatching in a marsh in the middle of nowhere and getting far too excited about seeing some rare species of owl.
I'd like to meet:
The tasteful few. People who buy me drinks. People who like good sounds. Cats. Critters. Fewer crazy pub perverts.
