A woman empties a bucket of piss, sloshes through the cobbles as my driver curses. Cretin! The horses pulling the cart don’t care, they soldier on; we all do, really. A withered man with a wicker basket sells his wears for scraps of tin, fabric, anything. I blow my nose on a handkerchief, see streaks … Continue reading The Future Isn’t What it Was (Poem)
So last night I was at the Union Chapel in Islington to see Lucy Rose. It's a beautiful venue; a beautiful church which one would be forgiven for thinking was designed with live music in mind, as it's so perfect for it. Lucy Rose was very pleasant, also. Her set, which consisted nearly exclusively of … Continue reading The death of an artist
So it turns out it's impossible to take photos of glass frames without getting your reflection in it, no matter the lighting so enjoy that. My collection is absolutely worthless and whether it even passes as art is subjective but for a nice easy title that's what I'm calling it.

So a couple of weeks ago now I went into London for the first of two days, both of which were set to be some of the greatest experiences of my life. One of my favourite bands of all time, Arcade Fire, were playing in Wembley and I had tickets to see them... twice! I … Continue reading The Time Of My Life
So I really liked this photo my friend Dan took of me, because it's generally quite cool. The little bit of blur makes the lighting look intense and dramatic, whilst I'm in focus, which I like a lot. There was a problem with it though. My face. It just wasn't flattering in any shape or … Continue reading Photoshop Handsome
I have no idea when I last posted a bit of poetry! It’s definitely ages ago, too long ago! Anyway, I’m currently in bed unable to sleep, about to schedule this post for tomorrow because I’ve been having a long old play around with rhyme. Rhyme and half rhyme actually. And maybe a bit more. … Continue reading In Which We Are The King (Poetry)
