I did the Radio Norfolk interview. And this time I managed to remember to mention the Arts Council, the Festial website and Trevor's role in the project! It started inauspiciously when the presenter clearly had no idea whatsoever what the […]
It's the end of the first day and I have already learnt so many lessons! The day started at 9 am. Everything was laid out in my room ready to pack in the car… I probably should have packed the […]
I'm writing this on behalf of the Newspaperhouse team, because it's got to be a team effort this, to make ahouse out of tens of thousands of the free newspapers that litter London's streets and transport every weekday. It's my […]

MORE BACKGROUNDS Spent ages setting up to print more backgrounds. Still getting small smears in the ink but some of them are ok. Want to finish some of these first ideas in a day or two and spend the last […]
15/02/08Stayed in all day today feeling low, my snotty cough persists. To raise my mood I spent an hour or so painting flag picks black. I think they are going to be used in some sort of pointless game where […]
A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION I was beginning to feel I was going through the motions – days of printing so far had resulted in stiff and formal plans of the allotment, but I didn't really feel that anything […]
