Hello, I have been writing articles and making videos since 2016 about popular culture, media, philosophy, and anything I want to understand more - inform us, educate me, entertain you. “Leigh Spence is Dancing with the Gatekeepers” was the name of the website, and still the name of the game.

Listening to the remix album Bowie 2001 by @vonrunte.bsky.social - nothing like a good remodelling of the all-too-familiar to shed new light on their elements - “Let’s Dub” and “The Sound of Fame” are keepers.

Some scrappy limited colour gouache portraits as I watch interview with the vampire (limited colour because it’s what’s left over on the palette)

Paul & Eli need to find a place in South London to evaluate their Tat Hunt purchases… But their best laid plans are about to explode in their faces. Can they actually finish the episode?

It’s an episode of comebacks this week!

There are a few familiar characters, set to take advantage of their return to the pod, a Price of Shite that Paul NEEDS to win… and a horrific end to a “not much loved” segment.
