Come to 4 Needham Avenue, Chorlton, where for just 5 British pounds you will receive all materials and inspiration to create the most swell, secret, pop-up, collage delight your loved one could only ever dream of receiving come Tuesday. You can sip tea everlasting and there promises to be an envelop to fit any card you make. Go on. Let the love in.

A Condition of Modern Man

Anxiety, not such a modern condition. I painted the cover of this wonderful early 1950's paperback I found in Brooklyn's Unnameable Bookstore. This is the start of a series of object portraits charting my time in Brooklyn.

Going Underground

A resolution I intend on sticking to is to spend the year being a curious tourist, to look with new eyes at what I see every day, to ask questions and wander without aim, to treat Manchester as I treated New York, with the same awe and wonderment. So as the snow settled on Saturday evening my love led me to the steps of the Midland to embark on a tour of the underground tunnels of the city. We huddled together with a few other hearty souls and embarked on our historic education of Manchester's underground world. Torchlit intrepid footsteps led us to spine-chilling bomb shelters. Darkness + unsettling + snow-cold. romantic.

Fed

Fe(d)bruary.

In the coldest of cold months I crawl out my cave only for the promise of what delectable delights await the day. I am given the strength to stay warm and go forth through

Warm loaves of homebaked Sourdough bread/ Beetroot carrot apple juice/nutty berry seedy museli/warm lentil onion salads/heart-shaped love scones with lincolnshire jam/the odd suet syrup sponge experiment.

Snug as a bug and ready for making.
