“Something Different Full Or Part Time (In Search Of…)”, December 2023.

“The politics of the world frustrate me. I control my frustration when I write, but it explodes when I perform.” A quote from a Benjamin Zephaniah documentary I caught not long ago on BBC iPlayer’s been resonating with me as of late. Granted, I tend to keep politics light here (if anything) but I stand by what I’ve just said regardless.

Frank Zappa’s wit = always an inspiration!

The stickers I accquired at the last art market I visited, as you can see, have gotten my creative mojo spiked up :-)

Rest in power Benjamin Zephaniah. Thank you for everything!

“All The Right Notes In The Wrong Order (But That’s Okay)”, December 2023.

Long lost beluga whale and friends reunited!

Cosmic narwhal time!

“Praise You (Said Crazed Me)”, November 2023.

Christopher Lee’s wisdom, always perfect!

“A Fresh Set Of Tired Old Eyes”, November 2023.

Of all the things to jumpstart my inspiration for this, I never had an eye-test and a fresh set of glasses the day after the Samhuinn Fire Festival took place… but alas, here we are!

Post Samhuinn, and I’m back at it!

Pre-Samhuinn narwhals and hairy highland cow time!
