Throwback 2015, my band’s EP. We packed CDs in A5 anti static bags for a earth tribe tech vibe. Art tied to track Everything For Sale, middle finger to art establishment. Same ethos I keep, no waiting for permission. Build own platforms, make your own gates, let whoever wants in come find you. 🖤❤️

The Snow Fall (Harrowden Narrow Canal)
Winter is here.... Welcome back to Harrowden in the cold months. Wrap up warm. Keep away from the water’s edge. And if you hear the ice crack behind you, don’t turn round...

Big thanks to Jay over in Seattle for sending this brilliant photo over of a framed "Cats On The Room Nearby Locke House"!
Cheers Jay, appreciate you loads, thanks for the support once again! Hope them red-eyed cats are behaving themselves over in Seattle… but I doubt it. 😼❤️🖤

Back to 2015 this week, some my old pen & ink work when I were deep into screen print & textile design. This one was a logo & tee for Rochdale’s own The Holy Dead... raw black & white, heavy contrast, DIY post-punk vibes. 🖤❤️

Love see my art out in wild, make my day when folk send pics! But this one’s special, hangs pride of place on wall of real Meri Nabble Nose 🖤
Her photo inspired one of first Gloamrats in Harrowden! And has been in nearly every one since.
#Harrowden #Gloamrats
Cankerfallow Night in Harrowden, bairns and Gloamrats out with their root-face lanterns, carved from swedes and parsnips that maybe weren’t carved at all? Tramp the slum sing strange songs, keeping the dead quiet down Gallows Bog way. 🎃

Halloween (Part II)
🖤 Keeping the Halloween vibes going, this one’s from around the same time as last week’s Alice piece, with the same pen and ink style I were using in 2016.
"Friday", one of my old horror dolls. Dark cute twist on Jason. 🖤❤️

Gloamrat Magnet Fishing In Harrowden Narrow Canal
Finally finished off this one now, I decided to rework some of it from one I posted up other day as wasn't quite happy with overall composition layout and some of story telling elements needed to be a bit stronger. Better? 🖤❤️

new cardboard cat! 😻🖤❤️
#cardboardcats
Gloamrat down Harrowden canal, magnet fish off old bridge. rope tied to bit o’ wire and ’ope. Pulled up a rusted trolley, a dead e-scoot frame, even a circuit board slick wi’ oil… relics of some long-dead machine? 🖤❤️
