Just discovered; Amazing Future

Amazing Future - a blog of wondrous proportions. Purely image and video, which I just reviewed on the Article Magazine site. Amazing Future needn't caption their plethora of discoveries as they speak loudly and clearly for themselves, so I shan't say anything further.  Tada! :

A new home for a bird box

I made a series of bird boxes in winter for the Stars in Stripes exhibition in Rotherham, which were installed in the fantastically [intimidatingly] huge space, on the concrete columns to bring an extra dimension. They were so discreet that not many people clocked they were there - each had a light inside with a bird menagerie, illustrated by Nick Deakin.

I have moved house and dressed a lovely new bedroom, unfortunately the bird boxes had to be recycled although I have saved one. The good news is, after a quick trip to tescos for a more icecream boxes and a cut, stick and sketch, I could knock up more in no time! I saved only one of the originals. Hummingbird it is...

Leipzig in July; photographic footnotes



Hundreds of hanging shoes, makes for a pretty eerie sight.
 Casually walking into hotels with his axe.

Post office built in the 60's, a classic GDR communist type.


 Good working clothes.
 A vintage Leipzig bus with lace curtains
Inside the Stasi Museum some attractive curtains.

Music in Sheffield Sex City and others

I haven't struggled for entertainment recently, after some particularly spectacular trips to Glastonbury, Leipzig for Melt Festival, via the Champagne fields of France, Belgium for Dour Festival, and Tramlines in Sheffield (not so spectacular but nice to be close to home).

Some photographs will follow. Mostly they are of Pulp.





Ice Cube, baby
Plenty of chairs
