Love, Trust, Bondage.
I went out with a group of friends the other week and met some new people, one of them was a very lovely man with a set of stunning tattoos.

Atsuko Tanaka – The Ikon Gallery Birmingham
Having only recently become aware of the existence of the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, I decided to visit it this afternoon and happened upon the first UK retrospective exhibition of Japanese artist Atsuko Tanaka (1932–2005).
Further below you can view photographs I’ve taken of the exhibition.

My Cardboard Life
I was pleased to see My Cardboard Life in the ‘comics village’ I recently attended and have been whittering on about for several blogs now.
I’d visited their website before and so it was nice surprise to see their products in the flesh. They have some really cool things in their online shop, I particularly like their BFF (Best Friend Forever) application form

Small Press – LizzLizz
As you all know I was milling around an exhibition featuring a comics fair a couple of weekends ago, I met the delightfully friendly Timothy Winchester, and guess what, sitting right next to his stall was the also extremely talented LizzLizz.
She and Timothy were my favourite stalls in the entire comics village, and indeed exhibition.
Here are some photos of her stall Read the rest of this entry »
