Final night of Bristol Light Fest

Mini waterfall #PinholePhotography

Lovely Devon escape for a few days...

In a potential crash situation, should a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sacrifice its passengers or swerve to miss pedestrians?

In a random garden centre and it's always good to clock somewhere Lou Bega could go Christmas shopping. Rita's going to be annoyed though...

I am enjoying playing Star Wars: Outlaws but Kay must have the pickiest grappling hook ever created

Another Bristol workshop - Pressed wildflowers in glass...

"My wife just went to the local dealership and got a new car..." "Honda?" "Yes she left with her own Accord"

It's slightly worrying how often in conversation I'll talk to my partner about putting something on the joint account and it instead comes out as 'put it on the shared drive'

Wolves of Glendale write a song in an hour using only lines from Bee Movie 🐝 youtube.com/watch?v=_Thz...

How is it still January...

An old favourite - Stanton Drew #StandingStoneSunday #PinholePhotography

A finished scene from an epic project to create a hand drawn flipbook version of the entirety of Fellowship Of The Ring 🤯 youtube.com/watch?v=ye3D...

Lovely afternoon screenprinting with Print Paradiso on East Street #Bedminster #Bristol

Managed to change a headlight bulb on my ancient Ford Fiesta. There was only one point half way through where I just contemplated replacing the whole car as a potentially easier way to do it

A fine bout of wassailing yesterday down in South Wales at Gower Heritage Centre with @skullsandsheets.bsky.social. My first Mari Lwyd event, finally! Those apple orchards got blessed hard...

Winter Wanderings #IlfordAdvocate #KodakGold200 #AnalogPhotography

I really enjoyed the finale of Stranger Things - always easy to nitpick but I thought the ending felt fitting and well done ❤️ Also led me to this wonderfully interesting & nerdy video about the making of the show title sequence youtu.be/U--ppFmOyHM?...

HNY

A wall of snow, almost like a tsunami rising from the sea, heading for the shore. ❄️🌊

All about the meece cheeses

Some highlights from first reel out with new (old) camera #AnaloguePhotography #IlfordAdvocate #KodakGold200

I genuinely watch this video several times a week. It brings me so much joy for some reason youtube.com/watch?v=v2_X...

Realised recently that lots of Simon & Garfunkel lyrics would make excellent titles for H.P. Lovecraft stories: • Through The Corridor Of Sleep • Twisted Sightless Wrecks Of Men • Suckled By The Night • A Vision Softly Creeping • A Most Peculiar Man • Impaled On My Wall • In Darkness I Must Dwell

If they're only able to serve fried eggs then a whole menu seems pretty redundant

I know they're mostly trash but more often than I should, I find myself thinking of this moment in Scary Movie 3. "The dogs are acting strange..." youtu.be/YeimZdB3B3Y?...

Time For Coffee #PinholePhotography

Catspect. 10/10, no notes.

Ah always so much love for Wolves Of Glendale. Here they give themselves an 'Iron Songwriter' challenge to write a song in 1 hour using only lines from Shrek as lyrics: youtu.be/vX_x_mJsXRE?...

Another fun Spirit Photography workshop at the wonderful Negative Thinking in Bristol #AnaloguePhotgraphy

Extraordinary Halloween effort (from our amazing art dept) at Aardman HQ

Call me fussy but I just don't think £12 to chug garlic and herb seems a good deal...

Damp Donnington Castle

How I made a virtual pinball machine! This is just *part* of the story though, the software side is even more in-depth! Have a read of the full story over in my blog: blog.jam-factory.com/making-a-vir...

Fallen tree in Leigh Woods Bristol #PinholePhotography

Loved this - R&B artists take on the challenge to create a Sum 41 cover on the spot. Isn't human creativity and collaboration such a magical thing - youtu.be/v2_Xh_kryWA?...

WFH boss keeping a close eye

Well @footballchairman.bsky.social is a delightful but terrifying time vampire

Really loved this. Greig Johnson Making creates his own Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy prop out of junk and even films a genuinely well done scene to show it in action youtu.be/IGuooLe8MW8?...

Last night I published a mega-blog all about how I built my first life-size virtual pinball machine as a total n00b! It's a big bugger so put the kettle on and give it a read: blog.jam-factory.com/making-a-vir... #vpin #virtualpinball

"Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?"

Out of a rainy car windscreen #PinholePhotography

Lovely Lisbon

Field #PinholePhotography

Initially nervous to see every lamppost on West Street in Bedminster turned into a flagpole. Then I saw the sign. 'Whether you've lived here for generations or have arrived seeking safety and new beginnings you're welcome." ❤️ Bristol

This is beautiful. Memphis Gerald's 'Field Recordings' EP performed and recorded completely live, outdoors, in a single take... "The sounds of the trees, birdsong and wind are as much a part of the recording as the instruments" youtu.be/FBD9HYExUUo?...

Finally I can stop folding down the corners of posts...

If you had an enchanted Narnia wardrobe surely there's a point after the novelty passes where you'd start to use it for extended storage? Get some frost proof boxes...boom...

Throwback to the AirBnB where I was delighted they'd included a lock on the bathroom for...y'know.... privacy...
