first drafts

I had forgotten about these. I sketched out my ideas for Andrew's album art before sending him each completed drawing. He has a very kind post about the drawings here. And there is another stellar review of the album here (including a nice mention of the drawings).

'this young Scot'

From the Scottish Sunday Express. Makes the day feel a wee bit better. Andrew's album is here.

each dirty letter

This came in the post from Calamateur just a few days ago.

It's my friend Andrew's new album and it is fantastic. Very moving (in all senses) and very wonderful. You can buy the whole thing here. And, generous soul that he is, Andrew has made his previous work, recorded over the last ten years as Calamateur, available here. You can pay what you want for that (as little as $0). Generous man.


I was honoured to be asked to contribute drawings to the project and 12 of them appear throughout the very handsome CD booklet, designed by Al at DUFI-ART. I was very happy to be associated with such good work. Huge thanks to Andrew for his trust and encouragement.

Definitely worth a listen.

jesus is for losers

Needs to be said, I think.

My lovely, long-missed, friend Andrew singing at Greenbelt.
It made me very happy coming across this.
