Cabin Fever 22 Jul 22

Hello there

Here I am with another Cabin Fever which has a pretty solid theme throughout this week, all brought to you direct from my front garden.  It's ages since I did an outdoor Cabin Fever, so feel free to join me and listen to some of the planes going over etc.&...

Garden Writing - The Process

there

Did I even mention to you how much I am enjoying doing written posts at the moment? It’s definitely joint top of my list with the art projects in terms of what I’m feeling quite relaxed about doing on the work front.

However, there’s been no art going on here, and no writi...

Loopholes Episode 1 (Introductory Episode)

Hello there

Here is the first episode of the new podcast Loopholes, where myself and Kate Cherrell discuss matters of the esoteric/esoteroticism community and world.

I was going to s...

The Reverend Roland Browning

Hello there

Little curio video for you today, which I've long assumed I would never make public because I thought it was so rubbish.

I still do really, but quite by chance I came across it the other night (not like that) and it really made me laugh.  It might have been tiredness ...

Summer Bash 2022 - A Harping On Podcast Event

Hello there

I share your disappointment, please don't think I do not.

After several hours of trying to repair the audio on this week's Reboot podcast, I gave up at the end of Saturday.  There are pouts all round. Promise it's not a sign of it finishing, we've just had ba...

Cabin Fever 15 July 22

Hello there

It's Cabin Fever time, your weekly report from me about the week that was.

Although, that's rarely what happens is it?  I mention something from the week and then it makes me think of something else like the time I was asked to be the voice of Blockbuster Vid...

"Do You Miss Doing Stand Up...?"

Hello there

A written post for you today as I jiggle things around over here.

I shifted posts back on Tuesday to let you know about Mouse, and really wasn’t feeling much like doing anything after the rubbish news.  As a result, the edit of Loopholes episode 1 got delay...

Terrorville As Heard On Reboot

Hello there

Right, full disclosure, I'm agonising about whether or not I've shown you this before.

I've been through the uploaded videos and couldn't see it anywhere obvious, but it seems bizarre that when I was showing you bits from Terrorville  I'd have missed this cou...

Mouse

Hello there

It's with a heavy heart that I have to report that this brilliant little idiot is away.

I know a lot of you will know her, so thought it best to pass on the rubbish news.  I'm sure you'll agree that every Patreon video she was dragged into was miles better because of ...

Reboot Episode 14

Hello there

Here I am with the triumphant return of the Reboot podcast after the Summer holiday (1 day).

Amongst other things, this tells the story of when we started our radio show on BBC London, and how we very quickly came up against an ogre who was already working there. ...

Artwork - Clue Part 3/3

Hello there

I mentioned on the rejigged Cabin Fever yesterday that I just carried on drawing this piece in the week, rather than coming back to it, and here is the third and final part of that.

It was many hours, over several days, but I also think this was a decent turnaroun...

Cabin Fever 8 July 22

Hello there

Oh...

Oh, what's going on here?

Well you're quickest way of finding out will be to have a listen of today's Cabin Fever podcast, which is loaded with romance, reshuffling and recollection.  Ok, I admit that I was searching for a third word to keep the a...

Clue Artwork Continuation Part 2/3

Hello there

I forgot how gruelling these full page collages are.  

I genuinely said to somebody that I didn't think it would take me more than an hour.  The whole thing.  I have got no idea where I got that from, but - I assure you - this has taken more than half an hou...

Forty20 Magazine

Hello there

It occurred to me that I literally haven’t mentioned the rugby league magazine I continue to write in, for an absolute age.

I still do write for Forty20 magazine.  In fact, I’ve just written my latest article, and thought as I was writing it that it didnâ...

Emergency Harping On Disney Extravaganza

Hello there

Hey come on, get that chin off the floor.  I know there's no Reboot this week, as I mentioned on Cabin Fever, but would I leave you wanting?

We gots missed keys and missed chords, we gots Jungle Book, we gots Aristocrats, we gots a ...

Cabin Fever 2 July 22 (Doomsday)

Hello there

Here's today's Cabin Fever podcast which takes in all the sights and sounds of the grim week that was.

It's got a nice song at the end if you just want to skip to that, but it also discusses slipping grips, awkward Q&A situations, and Batman.  Like a load of Batm...

ParaPod AVBGH - Deleted Scene

Hello there

I've just noticed as I scheduled this that it's the first of the month, but that wasn't an intentional nod to Patreon tradition.  Presently I've no idea what day it is, let alone date.

Simon sent over this deleted scene the other day which hasn't been seen anywhere be...

Art in Progress

Hello there

Today, I am returning to some drawing, after a weirdly long time since doing any. It might have been over a month you know.

I started this on Monday, as a tonic to a rather dreary lonesome birthday, at high risk.  I genuinely thought I was in such a maudlin mood (I kn...

Regathering (Part 2/2) With No Diversions

Hello there

Right come on, second part of the post that I managed to self-indulgently self-hijack yesterday. Today I shall be focussed and stay on track.

So, the actual thing I was sitting down to write was about prep. I might sound like a broken record on this, but the prep I’ve be...

Regathering (Part 1/2) Into Unprovoked Psychiatry

Hello there

I've a few things I wanted to go over in a written post, and why would this not be the best day to do that? I’ve just woken from a nap, got a headache and feel a bit sick, but other than that, this seems ideal.

It’s really some expanded thoughts on what I mentioned in ...

Reboot Podcast Episode 13

Hello there

Unlucky for some, Episode 13 may be, but it's very lucky for you...

Why?  Well I'll tell you.

You get the new Reboot podcast, hot off the press, for you audio perusal.  "Is it a good one, Ian?".  Yes, yes it is.  They all are. 

Cabin Fever 25 June 22

Hello there

Here we go, Saturday Cabin Fever podcast for you to have a listen to should you require any blabbering company and a very suspect singing session.

I half considered re-recording the autoharp part of this (at the end) just now, because it was well coffee'd up when ...

Obi Wan Kenobi

Hello there

And at last, my consistent daily greeting takes on some gravitas and relevance, because today I would like to talk to you about Obi Wan Kenobi.

The television series, not the bloke.

I’m not planning on this being spoiler heavy, but it’s also not going to...

Mentoring Meeting

Hello there

I've only just got up.  Which is also true of me in this video.  I think I would like to be remembered as somebody who always acted like they'd only just got up.

I had a meeting with Special Make Up FX genius Stuart Bray, just the other evening, to ask him for ad...

Stretching Room Diorama/Display

Hello there

Now, come on let's get straight to this because it's going to be picture-packed enough this post.

Quite clearly, in normal days this would have been a video post, but the truth of the matter is I've not felt up to it.  There was a lot of slow moving hobbling about, wh...

Borrowed Post part 2

Hello there

Right, I am scheduling this for Friday, but if it's now Tuesday (IT IS) then I managed to fill Friday with something else.  It's all go here.  In a way.

This is the second part of the interview that I originally did on the Burials & Beyond Patreon pa...

Reboot Podcast - Episode 12

Hello there

Monday morning means many things, but none are more important and fun than the latest episode of Reboot.

It is Rob's turn to face the producer's wrath this week, after a audio issue last week which you won't have noticed because the producer is so brilliant. The p...

Cabin Fever Podcast 18 Jun 22

Hello there

I've literally just dropped a grape beneath my desk and now can't find it.  That's going to be awful isn't it?

It's not for you to worry about though.  What is for you to worry about is finding the time to have a little listen of this weeks Cabin Fever b...

Beauty Shots - Dagobah

Hello there

The second part of the interview from last year shall now be on Tuesday (Cabin Fever Sat, Reboot Monday) as I spent some time tonight playing with my dollies.

I appreciate this appears to have become a regular feature but there can't be many more of them ...

Borrowed Post 1

Hello there

Here is the first of a couple of borrowed posts to give me a moment with my thoughts and contemplations over here.

This is the first part of an interview I did over on the Burials and Beyond Patreon page, which was uploaded there about a year ago I think. I know t...
