the past few day have been pretty chilled. im trying to scratch up on my line drawing portraits which im finding quite a challenge as i usually use the blending of colour to achieve the look i desire, however i will persist. ive finally cleared my room which makes james a very happy chap. my mum, charlotte my chum and i dog sat yesterday,what joys it turned out to bring.

VALYS #2

both valys and kismet smashed manchester!!! had such a lovely day, chilling in the sun with several ice cold pints. valys had another gig on the monday after (yesterday) at a local venue in cleethorpes. their performance was undoubtedly on par with sunday's however the atmosphere in the venue didnt have a scratch on that of the previous day. currently awaiting on the development of my film from sunday :)

the advantage of rhyanne's polaroid, instant development!

currently munching my way through a huuuuge black jack stick of rock my mum got me from their weekend away camping in whitby, im now not as jelous as i have a yummy treat.

VALYS

my dearest's band, valys, are playing an all day festival/gig in Manchester tomorrow, its going to be smashing! check out a live demo they did the other day here and their facebook here. they're playing alongside another local band from grimsby, kismet ryding, and several others from around and about. (ps the docs came)

some photos from Valys' last gig

TABBY CAT

This is to demonstrate how i am doing sweet F all today whilst my family prepare for their first ever camping expedition without me :( i really wish i was going to exploit my sketchbook to a weekends worth of abuse. my evenings events are likely to consist of my body absorbing one too many larger 'n' limes/raspberry sambucas.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS

my dads is about to start his journey over the hill now, hope he enjoys it! we went for a tasty meal this evening and the onion risotto was delish.
