The more I travel in my mind the speed of light hinders my ride. A distance, a goal, a trolley, the chink of heat coated paint I guard my inner soul. Trying to hinder my why’s. It was only a trolley id have picked a mix to make the thoroughfare curve re-coding the distance of…

True Grit of a Northern Town in Decline
For those of you who know me. I have rather a distinct accent. Some envy, some mock but if nothing else I’m a proud Northerner. Now Widnes is a tough town. We have 3 Victoria Cross medal winners for a start. We once split the atom. Made nose cones for the N.a.s.a apollo shuttle and won the Rugby League World Club…

Will it Change your View
Adding Photography to music is something that really interests me. I was approached by Joel Cockrill to work on a project with my images to his music. I think the music changes the feel of work. What do you think? The work is from three bodies of work. The now demolished car park from Get Carter in Gateshead called Trinity Square.…

Your Last Breath #6
On it rumbles… I feel like I’m really getting behind this concept. I wanted to draw on something that would be so far from my creative spectrum as possible. I’m working in fiction what if. Maybe this is the inner depth of my minds self preservation. Which generally makes me pretty boring. I’m still thinking what official direction this going…
