I was busy til 10 last night on studio business. The morning was spent chasing press-releases. I think we will have coverage in the Nottingham Evening Post and the Derby Evening Telegraph. I've also emailed NCan (an organisation based in […]

What a disaster in the studio today. Probably because I had changed the colour so many times, there were so many layers that I no longer could be exactly sure where the tape ended and the paint began. At one […]

Twittering Spent the last 10 minutes trying to twitter. Yes I know its the latest social networking craze and supposed to be dead easy. Well, not easy enough for me to figure out how to send one. Most of what […]
