World Cup fever grips the 1537 household

Some famous clock thing

Thom Yorke takes part in a 1537 advertising campaign

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.

Replicas vs. Replicants

Sign of the times, mess with your mind

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

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

Don’t cry Billy.

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

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

My beloved Sgt Pepper mill

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

Useful to know where they keep it

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

The first picture I ever took for 1537

I like the way this one turned out

I’m very proud of this one

Owls? I’ll give you F*^&#”G owls!!

Wife, daughter and dog

All for £2.50

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

You look so super

Roll Up !!

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

Hilarious visual joke, ahoy!

Easter cake, made by me.

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

I love how this one turned out!

It doesn’t get any better than this!

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?

It really was that blue waiting for them

I’m quite proud of this one

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

Still life, with tissues

The mute that sang the siren’s what?!

I like this one

Mmm, conceptual

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

Time for our William Tell act

Gotta dig that Tuscan geometry. San Gimignano.

An iconic image for our times, and some Beatles.
