Finally finished my Xmas card designs. They’ll be available in a few weeks…

First Xmas card done. Genuinely interested if anyone remotely wants this or if I’ve gone too niche this time. Let me know!

The lads are back on tour. Kraftwerk cards available at www.etsy.com/shop/8bitnorthxstitch I’d love to stitch this up (or a little set of an era) if anyone’s interested in commissioning me? I’m more reasonable than you might think…

A few months ago I asked for 2 soups in their cafe and got no recognition of the line. NOTHING. I was furious.

"On the cover there's a Jackson Pollock painting, and I thought that was a perfect thing. It really seemed that Pollock was trying to reinvent what painting was, so Ornette was doing a similar thing in a musical sense."

I love Horses by Patti Smith but I actively avoid it because even if I hear a few bars I’m chanting HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES all day and I’ve just heard a snippet on Instagram and here it comes HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES HORSES
