May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
The “art” very much comes and goes in waves these days. I must be needing some visual therapy as I have found myself working on the visual side of things again these past few days. I don’t feel anywhere near as depressed and “affected” as I did this time last year leading up to my…

Ghost Dancer (aka Stuart Greaves) has shared another gem of a bootleg, this time of SM some seven months into the New Gold Dream tour of ‘82/‘83 – midway through the North American leg of the tour in April/May of 1983.

Been whiling away my Sunday being arty farty… 3 x nine of beauty. I love you, Mr Kerr.

What to do when there’s a massive outage of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp? Make banner art, of course! And be overt with it…

A rare one of Jim and Charlie together. Was at a loose end last night. Decided to do something “arty”. This was the result…
I was catching up with Billy Sloan’s radio show last night. I haven’t listened in for….a few months now. I think I got a bit overwhelmed by him referring to me as one of his “most loyal” listeners. And to be honest, I wasn’t at that point, though I would listen most weeks. But that…
