About me: I am a devastatingly handsome sociopathic bore. I love nothing more than discussing current affairs with people who couldn't care less about me or my pathetic opinions. I like the wrong women all the time, and all of the right women none of the time..? Don't quote me on that...
I sometimes spend hours pacing around my box-room, like one of those crazed Russian bears in a charity advertisement, wondering how the hell I can repair the car-crash that is my life...
I also like old films and going for long walks...
I wish I was brave enough to be a junkie, an alcoholic or a serial killer, but I just sit on my arse watching ER re-runs on More-4, thinking about cunnilingus and world peace...I love you, friend.....
...here is the first half of a documentary film made about me! A young lad on work experience at a production company made it it the hope of getting some work...Let's just say he had an agenda...
...part two - including a memorable scene with an old 'Catchphrase' episode on Challenge TV!!!

*before I became an artist & therefore unemployable, I used to be interested in watching shit like this...Incidentally I am still awaiting payment for my overly enthusiastic slating of the boy Routledge...
i'm sorry i haven't been touch of late, i was in a coma due to an incident with a piece of rope...but worry ye not! they say the blistering will calm down and i'll soon be able to wear my severed-barbie-doll-hand-necklace again...the one i know you would love if only you would consent to meet me...
that thing i said about the thumb support...i wouldn't really!
do you want to meet up now?
yours ever faithfully...except that bloke in the kebab shop...but he doesn't count, as he mostly did the doner stick...
Hello Larry's larynx the snake. My profile is near perfect and I'll hear no more about it. How are things in the world on the other side of those (what must be filthy by now) bandages and rose tinted glasses? I heard from the king of Jim's that things are going pretty well. Hey, I started working in an animation studio, training up on 3D sculpture software and claymation. Its proving to be fun and I'm looking foward to bringing the things in my mind out for a walk about in this world where not only I can see them.
It is more than an honour to recieve such approval from such a highly cultured gent as yourself! If we ever get to film a music video for it then you can definatly star, do you have a pig mask?
Next time i am watching you from the pavement outside your home, (probably Monday, you'll be watching 'The Big Day' on BBC1), I'm gonna pay extra attention to the wardrobe...see if anyone comes out...
Hello friend! Nice to hear from you. I am still living in Grimsby, but did pop down to London the other day to see my no. 1 friends play, and I must just say that they are incredibly good!!
What are you up to now then? Did the gallery thing go tits up?!
I've just had an interview for a special effects make-up course in Retford and have just been accepted! Hollywood here I come! (well eventually, after many more years of struggling to make ends meet I'm sure!) So, I'm finally following the dream, much to my parents disapproval and much of the old "but is there a job at the end of it?" speech. The folks are deftly mortified that I'm not wanting to completely write off any kind of art career in favour of becoming a teacher - but on this occasion I have just had to tell them to get fucked! Them being none-creatives and all, I think they're finding it hard to get their tiny straight minds around the fact that there just might be jobs out there that don't ask that you are constantly miserable in what you do as a requirement of the job....
Anyways, enough about that. Don't think I'll be moving back to London now for at least another year or so, but next time I'll be doing it proper, wi' a proper trade!
Let me know how you are spending your mortal existence these days?
Come one, come all to celebrate the joint quarter of a century birthday bash in sunny Leytonstone. Andre and yours truly will be celebrating on Saturday 30th June at 1a Lonsdale Road from the early eve hours onwards. Hope to see you all there for a few beers and a few laughs. Luke
hello there, thought you might like to know you can pre-order 'In The Twee Small Hours' now.
if you pre-order you get a lovely bonus homemade C15 cassette with three non-album songs on it. it's wrapped in brown paper and string, which is inherently good. and you get your album before it's in the shops, just like a cool kid.
Alright duuuuudes, anyone up for a house warming/sam's birthday this saturday eve (9th)? 'tis is sunny leytonstone at our new pad on lonsdale road, from the early eve hours to the very late ones. Let me know who shall be in attendance. Bangin'
