Free Coffee

On a cold bank holiday weekend, what better way to warm ones cockles than a free coffee?!

I don't advertise that I produce vinyl graphics, but if someone asks for it I will happily make them.

I work out an original idea from the initial requirements and draw some sketches.

Then use the images to make the graphics in my vinyl workshop.

The good part is I can produce anything I can draw! The mug image, in this instance, tells you 90% of the message.

The bar is Seiners in Perranporth. Pick up a voucher from somebody walking across the beach with a sign (like the lovely Freyja, pictured) and get your voucher. When you finish your walk, enjoy your free coffee.

Treneer Wall Project

I ran a workshop of young people from Penzance's Treneere estate for them to design some images, which they did really well! for me to then paint on a wall and some shutters. A great project to be involved with. I finished the wall today, here are some pics ...

cosmic on blue peter

a very surreal experience.. i was asked to go on the time-honored kids show to help kids draw on t-shirts for the new blue peter appeal.. 'send a smile' to raise money for operations for children in india born with cleft lips and cleft pallets by, unbelievably, sending a customised t-shirt.

..and then by further customising the tee into a hospital gown in simple steps (demonstrated on this programme by girls aloud ).

a very good cause and worthwhile project to take part in. so, get customising

the show can still be seen on bbc iplayer for a few more days

GET STONED WITH COSMIC JAGGER This thursday nite, perranporth

i used to do some stones gigs with very competent musician friends, we were called the Cosmic Stones (previously to that, the Rolling Pancakes- its a long story!) the line-up changed quite a bit and lots of very loud, late and heady nights were had by all.

so last week i get a call from bono.. "you wanna do a gig?". "sure, bono! i'll be there!! give my love to ireland and the edge" . "its not that bono.. its ryan bono jones from the hitchcock rules..".

it was too late, i had said ill do it.. and just because this bono doesnt wear wrap-around sunnies and hang out with handlebar mustachios.. actually he might! ..but its still no reason to go back on my word.

This Thursday, 3rd sept

Seiners, Perranporth

..i was just explaining this to a friend, beth, i bumped into just now in the villiage shop. we were talking about what were doing for the weekend, she says "i need a job where i get to do what i enjoy!" i said "what do you enjoy?" and the conversation lead onto photography, travel, food (but not a chef!), maybe organizing foodie nights, etc and i suggested blogging as a way to share and focus on her interest..

..kind of reminded me why i started this.

..so when beth starts her blog ill post a link here. she suggested a great name.
