It's #worldmentalhealthday today

It can feel as if nothing will or can get better. I promise you it can.

There is a place beyond the trees

W.i.p hand painted VHS tapes

Bringing back a dead format into 'art'

Took a while but it was an experiment and something I think I can do again.

Just needs a little varnish

I really wanted to make a Parappa The Rapper vinyl as it's one of my favourite games of all time. As soon as I had the idea I woke up early this morning to make it

Putting it with my official Parappa the Rapper 2 vinyl

A really nice afternoon being interviewed at BBC radio Lancashire about my work.
Comedy, performing and mental health
I've been invited back in a few weeks to be a part of another show.
A huge thank you to @bbcradiolancashire for having me .
It's really nice to feel like a professional.

Painting with Christine

Yesterday I did some painting under the watchful eye of one of my cats Christine who seemed fascinated by paint.

So tonight I thought I'd let her have a go at painting too.

As soon as I saw the original painting in a charity shop I knew exactly that I had to paint Mr burns into it from the episode Burns heir.

It's going to be a gift for one of my oldest friends and fellow massive original Simpsons fan.

Thought you might appreciate it.

It's vast.....

Of course with new years comes new years resolutions. Here are just a few of mine putting up online in an attempt to hold myself accountable in Feb when I fail them all.

Really exciting meeting this morning with @showtownbpl kicking off the funny bones residency project.
I'm incredibly excited to see what we create and also have the opportunity to research through the comedy archives and archives in general!

Showing my cats the Christmas tree.
Beans wanted to be an active helper with the blobby bauble.
Pancake was mesmerised
Smudge judged and we passed
Christine was festively indifferent
The lights reflect in their eyes which if you follow the film theory shows none of them are 'The Thing'.
