Anything old with guitars and mandolins. If it's about motorbikes, even better! This theme tune incidentally, was written and recorded with old motorbikes in mind and features a car boot sale Stylophone - not a mandolin, but a close 2nd!
Movies
'The World's Fastest Indian' - It's about old motorbikes (surprise) rather than takeaway food! 'On any Sunday' is well worth a look too, if you're that way inclined. Ealing Comedies, Will Hay, Carry On, 'The Dish', 'King Creole'. Any animation I've worked on: Space Jam; Tales of Beatrix Potter; Lion King; FR07 (which was actually dreadful, but it paid the bills for a long time!). Loads and loads more...
Johannes Gutenberg, Eric Ravilious, Patsy Cline, Tiny Moore, Jethro Burns, Elvis Presley, Edward Turner, Nichiren Daishonin, Rose Maddox, Nigel Lewis, Thomas Bewick, Abram Games, Jesse Hector, Edward Bawden, My Dad for teaching me everything I know, My Mum for teaching me everything I know and putting up with my Dad! Ricky Lee Brawn,(and many, many more)
I began printing learning about letterpress in 2002 and The Hi-Artz Press was set up in 2005 after I finished my MA at St Martin's College, part of which took me to Nashville to do an internship at Hatch Showprint. I'm into old records and old printed matter and old technology which reflects strongly in my work - not that I'm a Luddite - I just believe there's a lot to be learned by looking at what went before and applying it now. In the same way valve recording techniques have been revived in recent times, (coz it just sounds so good and it's the only real way to re-create it), I print stuff on my vintage presses using old type and blocks. I also carve my own illustration blocks or get them cast by a local craftsman. It looks great, but where it beats pixels, it feels great and smells great too! In 2006, I had work published in Le Gun issue 2 and Design Week magazines.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who appreciates what I do (see below) and will exchange money or goods and services. Have a look at the main website too! hi-artz.co.uk

my websites been out of action cos the name expired. and now someone else bought it so i'm trying to get it back, so its now, www.tomfuckingeastland.co.uk (instead of .com) if you could change that on your Hiartz site that would be wicked, i'm going to make another, so if i ever get the .com one back i'll use that for the second one, really appreciate it, hope i see you soon!
Love your stuff! It's long been my dream to record direct-to-disc like they did years ago, and now I think I will.
Good luck
