I now seem to have acquired a London literary agent as well as a New York one. (Both with the same agency so it's all in-house.) Met her for coffee yesterday at the National Gallery, so I had to go into author-mode and talk about my writing and my books--past, present, future--so she could set strategies.When we parted I went next door to the National Portrait Gallery, where I'm always sure to

General hero Andrew Weatherall's wonderful taste in music and joyous verbosity have found a perfect compliment on Red Bull Music Academy's show London Belongs To Me, whereby Mister Weatherall takes us through his stories and records connected with the capital. He takes in Primal Scream, the National Gallery, the Clash, Trafalgar Square, skiffle, and Sabres of Paradise. It's rambling, personal and never...

Afternoon, guv'nor. I've been a bit lazy as of late, regarding my blogging duties, and for that I apologise. It's the same for my vlog and my webcomic. The thing is, I don't get paid for any of it. So yeah. Anyhow, a lot has happened to me since my last entry, nearly a month ago. I went to London (twice), and have purchased two hats. I have started a new series of comics, and I've got some new pyjamas....

VILNIUS - The Cold War is back. Don’t worry too much, though. This is about the British-made Cold War-era design exhibition now taking place in the National Gallery of Art, which itself is some kind of example of Cold War-era design because it was built as the Revolution Museum where, in the 1980s, ...
