A photo of a statue of the Virgin Mary in purple and yellow, the colours split diagonally in a kind of pop art way.

Intro: I make bad art and take terrible photographs, of London mostly. I also write mediocre short stories. All of this brings me immense and colourful pleasure. It will suck for you guys though.
A colourful shot of London’s Chinatown, lots of neon lights and multicoloured paper lanterns. Light reflected in the rain off the street. A photograph of the London skyline towards Southall. A dirty orange sunset smeared above the city that seems to go on forever. Bright yellow cats eyes of the windows. A moody river Thames. Blurry orange lights spilling from Blackfriars’s bridge. Deep blue cloudy sky above. The water full of slick winter menace. A brick wall by the British Museum, blotched with white and black dirt, soot, paint and damp. The wall has a razor wire perm, dried in finger-cutting curls. A bricked up archway goes nowhere. A bricked up window sees nothing.
