ART(AD)

I've been getting heavily into making marks on paper of late and there has been some strange magic floating around because of this. 

Not so magical is FB and Insta deciding that my artblog is spam. Now this could very well have been me posting too many links (though I didn't think there were that many and why don't they tell you how many is too much?) So many questions that of course will never be answered.

Mark Stewart's Halloween Special (31/10/21)

Mark Stewart is an artist, vocalist, producer and songwriter from Bristol. As a founding member of The Pop Group, Mark Stewart & The Maffia, Stewart has remained an anarchic and pioneering figure since the punk era, a constant source of discordance amongst the frontiers of post-punk, dub, industrial and electronic music.

HA!

Multiple peer-reviewed studies indicate that our collective move toward computers for communication has generally weakened the hand muscles we use for handwriting, but strengthened those we use to jerk off.
