A childhood dream was realised on thursday as i was invited for drinks at the GPO tower (now called the BT tower). I always visit revolving restaurants when i travel and have always wanted to visit Londons only one. Closed since 1980 after a bomb attack by the IRA, the security involved in a visit is super tight, the lift travels at a ridiculous speed (the fastest in europe) and your ears pop as it hurtles up. I have to thank Bene for buying the charity tickets for the evening (White Hat Ball) , a great night!

You do that Voodoo

So i’ve been fairly tight lipped about Glastonbury, but the bugger is in full effect this month. Unfairground returns, the sideshows of last year are being added to with a monster 25′ Striker (test your strength machine). Don’t want to show too much at the moment, but it has a voodoo skeleton theme. Just been making some prototypes for the prizes, featured below are Mark I, Mark II and Mark III.

Still not there…..its going to take a few more trials but you kinda get the nasty idea. Hand sticked evil dolls, may even go for a few different designs. Lets hope the weather is as good as last year, the Unfairground looks like its set to go from strength to strength.

Getting up in the school loos

Its easy to complain and harder to fix complaints. In this time of public spending cuts the friction between supply and demand of society and its infrastructure are at crisis. In the end i suppose, the message is if you want it done then fix it yourself. So we did, the loos for years 5 + 6 were in poor order and the parents teachers and care-taking staff all pitched in to repaint and spruce them up. A long day for the one coat crew and the kind help of Zadok from dead leg and Plastic bones.

In Dussledorf and Bonn painting for a week or so and I wondered if any one out there had hook ups in town? Looking for local painters who can advise me, point out some spots and generally fill in the gaps. I Have some places to paint but seem to have some free time too. If you can help please use the contact form on this site to drop me a line, be good to find some friendly faces.
