Hello, these pieces of interesting art are still available and I really want more people to know about them and be on board. Also buying them would help immensely and prove your bonafides #bonafides

My god, for a while late in my Twitter run I had some of the most skin crawly reply guys and I still had angst about blocking them

No it’s all fair dos, we’ve all had similar dilemmas I’m just too sensitive for all of it (these days)

I think a few of us have rejection sensitivity and that thought is almost inevitably going to flash through our addled brains.

When is a ceasefire not a ceasefire?

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

My BFI Classic on The Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night is available to preorder now. Here’s the story behind it. I love the cover - inspired by the film poster and a key theme in the book: the power of television in transmitting the Beatles to the world. samiraahmed.blog/why-i-wrote-...

Oh go on then. I’ve also added the skull and Corbett. These are a bloody bargain, there’s 45 years of wisdom infused and contained within them

Oil pastel drawing of Matthew Corbett, a white man with reddish brown hair, Sooty Sweep and Soo, three hand puppets, part of a 1980s tv programme that’s fondly remembered by some

This is actually the individual artwork that’s most frequently viewed on my website. Which I found odd, then I realised it features a bottom.

That’s lovely, thank you

Re Theseus, maybe it’s fate that I noticed this, maybe someone’s going to buy it tonight. I mean probably

Thank you! I haven’t thought about it that much since I did it, but this has given me pause as they say

I wonder what would happen if I added the giant penis giant. I haven’t for I promise understandable reasons

Yes. Thank you. It’s… these days I go round in circles. Finding my own caring and tuning into my own wants can be harder than it used to be. But that is still the core of it.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.
