I’m gearing up for the Glasgow Print Fair at @thepyramidg38ds.bsky.social on the 25th October. I’ll have this Brutal Glasgow print available, with some concrete inspired totes, tea towels and prints. It’s the print event of the year!

A STATEMENT FROM THE ESTATE OF DAVID F ROSS LTD:
Out of respect for our founder’s ‘death’ (in 2002) today’s Up / Mourning has been cancelled.
He died (apparently), trampled to death by a horde of bagpipe-playing marchers during the NYC Tartan Day Parade.

This is an amazing book. A real testament to Dan Jennings interviewing style, making everyone (especially Paul Weller) feel completely comfortable and relaxed in recalling stories and events that bind them to the life-affirming impact Paul’s music has had, and continues to have.

There’s a possibility this news might be overshadowed by the Trump UK vacation, and Oti’s debut novel, but…. nonetheless, it’s USA/Canada Publication Day for @orendabooks.bsky.social THE WEEKENDERS; a book about the unholy alliance of wealth and power, strangely enough.
Oh say, can you see?
