I’VE BEEN HIDING UP MY OWN ARSE

I haven’t been out cruising for rides, I’ve been busy hiding up my own arse. For the past four months I’ve been sticking to my own little corner of the web, my own two sifty little blogs, where all commenting is turned off, but so are any rewards. Confined to a chair with a sprained […]

ADVENTURES INTO INSTAGRAM PART 1

It is a long time since I posted anything on Instagram… I  previously had an account – sift666 – that I used to post photos on from 2013 to 2016, but after I stopped using it my login stopped working, and it’s been over seven years since I’ve posted on Instagram or even looked at […]

This music video has probably been influencing my art for 32 years

Back in the 90’s there was awesome music. I miss all that amazing music!

SEVEN DAYS IN THE DOGBOX

Like most people who have been on the internet since the dawn of time, I have set up accounts on every social media platform known to man (or more accurately, known to AI bots) and over the years have come to see the shortcomings in every one of them. Once, for about a year I […]

ART IS WHAT YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH

THE TOSSER

Is it possible to do a blog post by tossing a coin? This was an idea for a blog post that I wrote down ages ago – It was a strange experiment… Sometimes I find my notes and ideas and end up reading them and wondering if I am a complete fruitloop. TOSSPOST HEADS I start […]
