I'm not sure why, but this "clumsy guitar" really sings for me.  It's a reminder that a tortoise shell has been used s...

The Avon Gorge, on a less than beautiful day I spent most of this past week in Bristol, where we are establishing a new branch of th...

I first encountered these hunted lions from Nineveh in the British Museum last year . Now they've found a new home in one of my digi...

Never mind a new portrait of Shakespeare*, here is a rare shot of the mad twins who govern our neck of the universe.  You really don...

Do you have recurring dreams?  I understand most people do.  Certainly, I seem to have dreamed variations on the same few scenarios most...

A couple more digital constructions using my "clumsy guitar" drawings.  I'm finding that one quite satisfying way to do th...

Yet another series of digital images is coming together, on the theme of Orpheus.  I found myself drawing crude stringed instruments, so...

Another thing I've been filling the idle hours with is drawing.  As I have written before, drawing was my first love, and -- like an...

Two more angels, equally literary, but this time of a more fallen variety.  In the first, you may recognise Satan's words from Book ...
