Posh Hahnemuhle paper that will last 200 years or something in the right conditions.

A big metal box of a building with the word CHICKEN on its side in chunky sans serif letters. In bright sunlight, they're casting a big drop shadow.

There's nowhere quite like Dungeness. Did you get the chance to see the sound mirrors at Denge nearby?
Feels great to finally join the lineage of artists that have answered the calling of Dungeness; amongst them John Piper, Eric Ravilious and most famously Derek Jarman

I’m doing a fair amount of cycling. But photography takes over when passing seductive new topographics! My phone is always to hand.
Is entertainment in the 2020s going to just involve spending a small fortune to attend immersive experiences for things which don't need to be immersive?
And which most of the time aren't even immersive?

Roof level facade panels of white plexiglass
Turquoise coloured geometric facade panels of plexiglass, arranged somewhat like a Rubic's cube
A man in a suit holding a plexiglass panel, to emphasise how lightweight they are, and a Shopfront of illuminated plexiglass with Parke-Davis written on it
Whilst not a fan of plastics, these 1963 adverts for Plexiglass are fascinating, and only 18 years after the end of WWII.
It's hard to appreciate how modern they were at the time.

This is really sad. Sebastìão was one of the first photographers I came across that really got me into it. Genesis remains one of the seminal bodies of photography of our time.
Long may his work, photographically and environmentally, continue to inspire us.

Genuine question: how does Portrait of Britain continue to remain relevant when the work seems so similar every year? It's becoming like Taylor Wessing.

Little new fiction cover I did for a McSweeny's insert earlier this year.
A screengrab of an assortment of BBC News 'interest' stories, which I've scrawled sarcastic, faintly misanthropic sad loser comments on.
I see the Beeb News site continues its flaming hurtle into chat mag territory. I might start printing it out so I can be pointlessly and ineffectually outraged, but with an actual red pen.
What a bell-end. Probably delete this later.
