podge

in moderation, is hugely underrated.

Manchester Museum






This is a part of my univeristy buildings, I can't think of a better way to spend spare mintures between lectures. Skeletons, mummies, taxidermy...The photos are awful, sorry.

Undercover


This is in the window of an art cafe in the Northern Quarter of Manchester. The exhibition 'Undercover', displays the work of embroidery graduates from Manchester Metropolitan. The cafe, Nexus, is slightly smelly and serves things like jacket potatoes and watery cappucinos, but I'm told it's real cool. The exhibition is scattered around the the cafe, amongst cracked leather sofas and hanging from the ceiling. Its pretty bad, but I thought this was quite effective.

Graham Sutherland

Saw this in a newspaper magazine today. I don't really know anything about Graham apart from that this is pretty great.

Somerset Maugham, Graham Sutherland,1949
Seems pretty modern for a painting of 1949.

christmas lights

give the living room the same glare as the top deck of a nightbus

No sunshine for weeks... I almost don't trust colour exists
