Masterchef - the bromance

Here's what happens if you get eight strangers together in a room for a weekend and teach them comic skills -




Nothing to do with me - I just gave them the tools.

They ruin everything.

Was saddened to spot this article in the Manchester Evening News the other day, about the impending destruction of Oldham's finest landmark. I need to act quick on this and find somewhere in the town to stock my Tshirts which I actually printed up years ago -


Any advice on this? Anyone know anyone in Oldham?

Legalise rugs!

This is coming on much quicker than I'd imagined. Might even have time to do a jammy dodger before Christmas.
In other news, I've set a date for the release of the preview issue of Comical Animal - Friday 3rd September. If you've not signed up (over there on the right), then you'll miss out.

New Inn prints

If these do OK, then I've got a couple more different ones that I'll make available.
Only just got these back from Common (my slackness not theirs).
Go look see buy -
By the way, the food in Common is excellent at the moment.

Rugs

I'm so excited about Comical Animal (if you've not signed up yet then why not?), and it keeps me awake buzzing around my head. To unwind of an evening, I've developed another brainless but productive activity - latch-hook rugmaking. Above rug is a portrait of Ruby the cat about 50cm square, which took maybe a month of evenings, and shall be presented to a little cousin at Christmas.
Current project below, is a big custard cream, 1 metre across, which will probably take me up to November. If it goes well, they may be a series of accompanying rugs (jammy dodger, bourbon, sports biscuit, party ring, that marshmallowy one ... I'm open to suggestions.
I'll make you one for £500.

(this represents one evening's latch-hooking, or 2 packs of pre-cut wool).
