I saw The Decemberists a year ago but I will talk more about that tomorrow as part of my soundtrack for tomorrow. Zeloot is a Dutch illustrator that likes to […]

Design – Niki Pilkington

I went to Pick Me Up fair again this year, three years running so far. One illustrators work really caught my eye and that was Niki Pilkington. I loved her style of drawing, the subjects she choose and the combination of pencil and collage. Her bio at Pick Me Up fair described her work as […]

Band of Skulls – Light of the morning

This song is great and will always make me want to dance. I love the singing intro accompanied by the drums and also the break where it goes into the end of the song – brilliant! I have seen them twice and both times have been great. Although I can’t rate Alexandra Palace as highly […]
