An iconic image for our times, and some Beatles.

You have to love those Y-fronts! (and Lego-based censorship)

Poison Ivy channelling her inner Norma Desmond

Thom Yorke takes part in a 1537 advertising campaign

With this first commission under my belt, I can see a whole new career opening up for me …

It doesn’t get any better than this!

Rural Virginia, yesterday

It really was that blue waiting for them

Useful to know where they keep it

Time for our William Tell act

All for £2.50

Walking the dog this morning, I haven’t messed about with the colours at all – I love that winter light!

Wife, daughter and dog

Hmm, a black disc with white circles … interesting

Anyone up for a nice country walk?

This may be the single greatest thing I have ever done in my life.

My friend Paul had a boom box just like this – I was so jealous.

I love how this one turned out!

Daytime Pyro

You look so super

I’m very proud of this one

Moss!! Moss!!

I’m quite proud of this one

Christmas lights seem to have turned the fireplace in my front room into a terrifying pagan altar – maybe that’s the true meaning of Christmas?

Easter cake, made by me.

I’m inordinately proud of this one

I love this – almost Eddie circa: Somewhere In Time.

Nature’s nice and stuff, but it’s no 1200 word review of an obscure hardcore LP, is it?

My work on this earth is done. I shall now ascend.

Priest … Live !!! (maybe)

Rush Hour

Destined to cause a bit of a stir on Antiques Roadshow in 2031

Gotta dig that Tuscan geometry. San Gimignano.

It’s mine, all mine

The astonishing 3D effect you can achieve by ‘hatting’ Mr Hayes

I like this one

An attempt at fluffification of ‘Why D’ya Do it’ – a genuine imageof an alternative cover taken from the Antilles vaults

Owls? I’ll give you F*^&#”G owls!!

She’s got …

Possibly a metaphor type thing

Don’t give me no lines and feed the panda yourself …

Still life, with tissues

Mmm, conceptual

My beloved Sgt Pepper mill

Text from ‘The Priest … in all its ambiguity

Hilarious visual joke, ahoy!

Don’t cry Billy.

Lego just don’t do suitable Hendrix hair; shame on them.

I’m rather proud of this one

Much careful deliberation went into this drivel you’re about to read

I like the way this one turned out.

…and the last thing I heard was a muttered word …

Grim urban reality#1: Packs of rabid feral dogs

The psychedelic trellis outside Mendips, probably responsible for inspiring all that stuff about submarines and walruses

Not photo-shopped – it’s balanced on a tray

Really arty photo, to show off my mad camera skillz and sensitivite, creative nature (chicks love that)

So shiny and difficult to photograph, i took matters into my own hands and made my own – using my awesome creative skillz! I have to say that is the best drawing I have ever done of John Wetton.

Roll Up !!

Replicas vs. Replicants

The mute that sang the siren’s what?!

You’ve got a friend in me (da da da da daa)

Some famous clock thing

I like the way this one turned out

All kneel and worship!

The Lego thrash metal minifigures are really starting to pay off for me now

Saturday night chez-1537

Every time you listen to Poison Idea you make a pixie cry

I can now die happy, my work is done. (Even my son was impressed by this).
