Drawn an angry egg.

Listened to Divine Cargo during: divinecargo.bandcamp.com/album/demo
An egg shaped character stomping through purple clouds. It has two muscular arms emerging from about two thirds of the way up the egg, the shoulders of which form the brow for glowing pink eyes. It has a large lower jaw jutting over the front of the brow and small legs that disappear into the purple fog. It looks furious.

A huge lumpen monster in full oranges and blacks against a dark purple and orange backdrop. It’s mouthy and what might be it’s nostrils and eyes are full with fiery glow and billowing smoke and it sits in a cloud of dark brown or black smoke.

A flesh coloured alien creature against a sand coloured backdrop. It has a long featureless head and two arms ending in tentacle like fingers. It stands on four legs splayed out from a central torso, which is wrinkled and has what look like plates running up the front. To the right is a block of interlaced straight lines, with what looks like some kind of abstract script below it.

A portrait or a vaguely humanoid figure in oranges, yellows and red. The head is a featureless lump bar a line of black gem like eyes and the torso is fluid and lumpen. It looks as if the character is within somewhere very hot, as if it lives inside a sun.

Actually got in just in time for #portfolioday - here’s some recent and not so recent squiggling.

Eyeballs stare from crevices in the surface, and it is behind details for a gig featuring Horrendous, Crypt Sermon and Plague Rider, at the Black Heart on the 10th August An ink drawing of a surreal psychedelic ship against a marbled background. The ship is made of curved organic forms in yellow with blue orbs attached to or hovering around the main hull. In the background is a rendition of the room Lapetus. A cloud hovering against a Paul’s turquoise back drone. Straight spear like lines point downward from the cloud, with arrow heads at the end of them

Thoughts are good aren’t they. Love having thoughts, me.
A screenshot that contains the posts: Team “not actually oblivious to flirting, just terrified of appearing presumptuous” represent. “Yes, in the balance of consideration this persons behaviour could certainly be interpreted as flirtatious, but it would be purest arrogance for me to just assume they actually meant what they said. I should gather more evidence. Forever.”

OUT NOW
M-G DYSFUNCTION - MISTA SELF-ISOLATION

Over 5 years in the making, the latest M-G Dysfunction record goes out into the world today. Grab one at the links below yeah? It's very good.

@ampwall.com: ampwall.com/a/panuruspro...

@bandcamp.com: panurusproductions.bandcamp.com/album/mista-...
Blue text on a black background, which reads: Strange, torrid, funny, moving - the third full-length offering from the Leeds/London artist leaves listeners guessing to the last. M-G Dysfunction, the project of Fred M-G (ZoZo/@chunk.leeds DIY space), returns with third full-length album Mista Self-Isolation. Released on 20th June by Panurus Productions, the record is the first M-G Dysfunction full-length release since 2021’s Nothing Clean, Nothing Pure and first non-single release since 2023 EP Maybe She’s Born With It, Maybe It’s Sertraline. As anyone who has heard Nothing Clean, Nothing Pure or seen an M-G Dysfunction live show will know, things are never quite as they seem with this project. Drawing as much from Stewart Lee as Death Grips, MGD regularly pulls the rug out from under listeners just as they think they’ve sussed what he’s getting at. Scorching the earth with anger one minute and humour the next, MGD reveals himself as a kind of hyper-nihilist jester - someone scorning honesty even as the music itself seems as earnest as can be, or hiding knotty truths amidst seemingly frivolous asides. Mista Self-Isolation is the fullest realisation of the M-G Dysfunction project to date - a record of trepidation and humour, of lopsided passion and warped poetics. This album is about surveying the wreckage of monoculture and navigating the act of making music amidst a land-grab of rights, melodies and rhythms by people who never liked music in the first place. It’s about properly honest artistic expression - what “keeping it real” looks like, sounds like, feels like in 2024. It’s about getting some official beats and saying fly shit over them. FFO: Dean Blunt, Death Grips, The Bug, Stewart Lee, Laura Oldfield Ford, Jenny Hval, The Streets, Marie Davidson, David Shields, Julia Fox An image of the artist M-G Dysfunction in oval sunglasses and baseball cap, with a black and silver jacket on. He is in front of a starry background with a statue of an alien faded against the background behind him. This is within a pixelated crimson border and with the title : M-G DYSFUNCTION above and MISTA SELF-ISOLATION below, in pixelated blue front with a gold border.

Video killed the radio star, but unfortunately I am just a radio ordinary guy and as such continue to be cursed with existence.

Could really do with some commission work or selling prints, so give me a shout if you want anything
A red lobster like creature against a pale background. It resembles the head of a lobster with one stunted claw and a sealed orb like body with bristles emerging from the mouth area, like a hybrid lobster/seed shrimp. An amorphous worm like creature with black flesh and translucent oil like boils on its surface. At one end is what appears to be the head, with copper like teeth and rows of translucent orbs as ‘eyes’. It is against a black cloudy background.

post a random photo, otherwise everything goes wrong in June
The teletubby known as Tinky Winky hugging its human colleague against a green hilly backdrop. It is an approximately ten foot tall purple humanoid monster with a triangular aerial on its head, monkey like facial features and large ears. The human appears happy. You can see the legs of the red teletubby known as Po in the background, presumably resting.

Missed the twentieth anniversary of this important event in British culture by one day, but I was going to say that this is the first and probably last time I am so well positioned to eat too many jacket potatoes and reverse my car over my own head.

My chair looks like this so his chair can look like this etc.
An old wooden chair with a cushion on it. There are some old dusty guitars in the background. A comfortable old worn armchair with a cushion on it and a comfortable old round black cat curled up on that cushion.
