Here's a new thing I've made! A Short Survey Of Annotated Music Equipment - 38 page full colour booklet of stuff with stickers on it. £4 plus postage - DM here or ashtoninspace at gmail if you want one. Cheers!
Just to add Hunt For The Wilderpeople onto the list of things Sam Neill was great in.
Pleased to spot some personalisation on my copy of Smiley Smile. Even looks a bit like ‘Ashton’
Hey friends, still time to get your annotated music equipment pics in - it's shaping up really nicely as an A5 booklet. Best to email them if poss (drop me a line for the address).
My mum has been sent (via a distant relative) her great-great-great grandfather’s ship log book from 1856. Mad that, isn’t it.
Niche publication idea on one of my favourite aspects of band life - a small fanzine of DIY signage on instruments/pedals/mixers etc (examples below). Stickers, sharpie, gaffer, whatever - would be great to collect as many as possible. DM here (or get in touch for email address). Send away!
Teaching the kid the importance of household maintenance at granny’s place.
A quick glimpse into my freelance illustration world, this one for the Udderlicious ice cream shop in Islington for their new Orange and Lemon flavour (with many apologies to XTC). Of interest to @alisoneales.com?
Flight 666 is on BBC iPlayer if you want to see an ok film about some great music played by some questionable old dudes.
And me too! Here’s mine, bought on tour in Edinburgh in 2003 when I popped in a music shop ‘just to get some strings’.
Took a date to see Sonic Catering Band once. There were no more dates.
