I said you buy one and you get one free! I don't normally do product plugs here but CALUMET Manchester do have a good offer on paper at the moment. It's not BOGOF actually, but buy two and get one free. Still saves you £30. OK I'll shut up now....

Is It Worth It ?

"As a photographer it's important that my hair looks good. After all it helps keep my head warm. However making photographs outside takeaways in Salford can often make my hair dull and brittle. That's why I shampoo each morning with................"

Sorry I'm just practising. I keep getting emails asking me to review products on the blog. Don't knock it, some of them will pay as much as $20 ! All I have to do is register and send them an example of my writing style......

No it's not that stuff that makes your willy go hard. VAGA stands for Visual Arts and Galleries Association and they have just sent a letter to the Secretary of State, Jeremy Hunt urging him to go steady with the cuts. Jeremy Hunt, is that rhyming slang?

Visual art is a British success story and has transformed the fabric of local communities in recent years. Visitors to galleries rose throughout the recession: the Banksy exhibition in Bristol last year was the eighth most visited contemporary art exhibition in the world. The Liverpool Biennial in 2008 had an economic impact of £2.66 million a week over a ten week period. The 2009 Frieze Art Fair welcomed over 60,000 visitors in five days." Continued HERE.

Here's my good self proudly showing off a couple of Seba Kurtis prints that I managed to blag off him. Sometimes being a cheeky fucker pays off! So if any more of you want to send me free prints (signed) that would be great. I have no pension plan and at 43 and a fecking great hole in the country's finances I'm getting twitchy. So donations of original cool artwork is my retirement plan. I shall of course in the mean time be enjoying Seba's brilliant work hanging on the walls of our house. You can read about one of Seba's more personnel projects HERE.
