banal pig 4 cover!!!!!:-OMFG!

Filed under: BANAL PIG IV, banal pig, banal pig 3

oh yes! what a mouthwatering titbit! dont get your purse out yet though, he’s still a couple of months away. i had to finish the cover to include it in the availabe titles in the collected banal pigs 1-3, which is virtually finished and will be ready in a couple of weeks.

as pig lovers will be aware, its the first banal pig proper with a full colour cover, and the back cover will be more of the same with the rest of the 40-odd characters that appear in it, innit. bear with me friends, nearly there!

So, as described previously, here is the audio recording of Round Michael Douglas’s House, as read by Sleazy Dan Lester and recorded by Gemma Cantlow (apart from writing it, i didnt have much to do with it really). You can still listen to the entire broadcast from the archives of at www.resonancefm.com i think, to hear fun things from Gareth and Dan Locke, plus some very avant garde music. anyway, enjoy, put it in on your ipod, send it to your mum etc.

ken maynard and the wireless

Filed under: Uncategorized

this is a linocut i did recently of ken maynard, who was a cowboy. i like to do linoprints from time to time, it’s a nice media, and i am a trained master printmaker (as you can tell). as with all my artwork, its available to buy, so let me know if you’re interested.

fans (or toleraters) of my series “round (someone’s) house” may be interested that a brand new adventure, Round Michael Douglas’s House, read by Sleazy Dan Lester will be on the radio on thursday. to be precise, on thursday at 5pm on resonance fm and online as a podcast at www.resonancefm.com. handsome gareth “man man” van brookes is also on there, plus other small press faces from the uk, and its put together by friend of the pig and small press aficianado Gemma Cantlow. should be well worth a listen.
