New collage for the KOLLAGE KIT communal blog ( join today!)  -

Today's collage effort -  for the theme Department Stores.  Come and have a go - join the blog - just drop me a line and I will invite you budding collagists.  Different theme every week!

A new sketchbook page - a daily doodle for the FB group.

High on my list of arses today are Quazi Quateng , Liz Truss, in fact all of the Tory party.

Postcard from the 90's ( or was it late 80's?)  in a series commissioned by Boomerang cards who used to supply cinema foyers and student unions around the country with free cards.  Other cards in the "Beautiful Britain "  series were "The Arses Of…

Collage from 1983 - Sadly still true today.

Sketchbook page of latest "Daily Doodles" on Facecrack. Collage and pen perforations. Images from old adverts in american Mechanics Illustrated magazine.  I have a pile of these - very handy over the years for snippings for collages.

One page from a 'zine I made with Hazel Jones when we were courting back in 1985. Folded A4 sheet. Photo copy and rubber stamped. Dedicated to the late Michael Scott which was weird because he didn't pass away until 1988.

Latest theme at the KOLLAGE KIT communal blog ( seeking participants ) on this weeks theme based on the Roger Corman and the later Frank Oz film of the same name.

Collage from a few months ago. Sent to an exhibition of assembling in UK somewhere - I forget where. Eventually all pages to be made into a book.  Not sure what happens to it after that.  Part of the "Issue"  assembling group in Wales which has been going for the last 20 years or so. Not really mail art - more of a bookart project that goes through the mail.…

A new stamp sheet using a found image on the interweb. I couldn't resist changing it slightly for the second sheet.…

They are old taps - probably…

Vivid dream about Bob last night who lived in the East End of London just around the time I was there back in the 80's. He was sitting in a sand pit making constructions out of bricks and twigs with the local kids.  I was taking photos of him and the sand pit. He said "Hey man, stop taking photos of me!" and I said "It's OK BOB it's not a real camera - just my fingers contorted into the shape of a camera for dream like purposes."  He seemed OK with that explaination.  His house was a slum…

I knew I had made some Bob stamps many years ag0 and just found them in a bunch of stuff in the archive. Made back in 2001 for his 60th.  Spending the afternoon playing some of his songs on YouTube and on CD. Many happy returns of the day!
