I like the way this one turned out

I’m inordinately proud of this one

Text from ‘The Priest … in all its ambiguity

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

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

Easter cake, made by me.

It really was that blue waiting for them

Mmm, conceptual

Possibly a metaphor type thing

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

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

I like this one

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

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

Still life, with tissues

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

All kneel and worship!

I like the way this one turned out.

Replicas vs. Replicants

Rush Hour

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

Roll Up !!

Grim urban reality#1: Packs of rabid feral dogs

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.

Moss!! Moss!!

Thom Yorke takes part in a 1537 advertising campaign

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

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

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

Priest … Live !!! (maybe)

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

I’m very proud of this one

Anyone up for a nice country walk?

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

The first picture I ever took for 1537

Daytime Pyro

An iconic image for our times, and some Beatles.

It’s mine, all mine

Sign of the times, mess with your mind

I love how this one turned out!

Saturday night chez-1537

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