Hey there,
Here's one from left field...
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
Help to raise awareness.
Say have you checked out my web site recently?
Take care and keep in touch.
Best,
Faber.

Hello Rob and welcome to our work!
Our children are at risk every
day, from the predators that would steal their innocence and leave them afraid
in the silence…the silence that we need to break! All children deserve to be
loved, protected and allowed to grow in a world that understands their
needs…and takes care of them …Thank you for helping us try to create that
world!
Help spread the message, tell
your friends about us, get people involved…and Rock Against Child Pornography
and Abuse with us!!!
Thank you for your support…

Are now available to order for your Halloween parties, Haunted Attractions, Concerts, Movie Premieres, and Zombie Walks!
We take a regular photo of you, turn you into a zombie, and place you on the very cookies you choose to sell at your event, or hand out as treats...but that's not all we can do.
We can take your logo, your promo posters, our photos of your cast members or attractions, and place them on the cookies too!
These are literally one of a kind treats, the cookies you order will be shipped to nobody else. Each cookie has a vivid image of your choice and are delicious. They come wrapped in cellophane with your choice of ribbon color and are then packaged in individual boxes (as seen in the photo above, boxes are optional). These are truly, edible works of dark art.
If you would like more info on pricing or zombie makeovers, feel free to contact me here on Myspace or go to myphotocookie.com
You won't be disappointed!

If you would like to read a sample of one of the stories from ISLINGTON CROCODILES’ you can do that now as one of the stories is posted on the Islington Crocodiles blog page. RAIDERS is the disturbing story of Barwise and Micky.
As Graham Joyce says in his foreword to ISLINGTON CROCODILES, ‘This is the edge.’
You can follow this link direct to the blog page
RAIDERS
Enjoy it, and let us know what you think, leave a comment.
Also, if you are interested in buying a copy of ISLINGTON CROCODILES you can, as before, do that here:
