Back when Twitter was just about bearable I sent out a hopeful Tweet asking for Lovely Beatles Moments. Not songs or albums - just shards of Beatleness that make people happy. I turned the responses into a little zine. Here it is. Hope you like it.

At the @comicartfestival.bsky.social in Bowness-on-Windermere with @feltmistress.bsky.social. Find us in the Comic Book Marketplace. Here all day Saturday and Sunday.

Packing up this watercolour painting of Kyoto from 2017 ready to go to its new owner. 8 years has gone by very quickly! Prints are still available from shop.

Four years ago we had the outside of our house painted. The guy painting saw what I did for a living and asked if I’d paint his dog as part payment towards the bill. I wish all tradesmen would take paintings as payment!

Clumpws enjoys curling up in a wet, leafy mound with a good book and a family-sized bag of mulch or a chippy tea (“ wood chips, that is!”). Be careful when clearing out that woodpile. Clumpws might be in there absorbed in a Ken Follett.

Less than a month left of the Expo in Osaka so I thought I’d give these another push. A highlight of this year for me.

A drawing of the B-52s debut album from this day in 2021. I’ve still got a one or two square glossy prints of this available if anyone’s interested.

RIP Robert Redford. Three Days of the Condor, The Hot Rock, All the President’s Men, Barefoot in the Park. Impossible to choose just one.

My favourite from this series on A2 khadi paper. This one sold but I still have other ones from this set. I might put them up for sale on my shop this week.

A year ago since my Neighbourhood exhibition!

Introducing Emlyn

The headline suggests something that no individual could possibly achieve obviously - but very grateful to Ciaran Jenkins & the Channel 4 news crew for coming to a gig in Henllan and hanging out on a rainy day!

Happy birthday, Taraji P Henson!

The Magic Lantern cinema in Tywyn, North Wales. What a great place. I’d love to watch a film there one day. We were in Tywyn just long enough to have a quick look inside and take a photo of the beautiful exterior.

Went up a mountain and found some @alariko.bsky.social style clouds.

Otis.

Thank you!

Just saw this in a charity shop. I had a quick search online and found a blog post by Stewart Home (who I worked with on a comic back in the 90s!) who suggests that this is possibly Lou Reed & John Cale cashing in on Beatlemania pre-Velvets. Anyone know if this is true?
