The October page for my Sparks calendar, featuring one of my digital collage pieces. The collage features Russell Mael in the classic black and white Pierrot costume with a ruched collar, white face and black mascara tears rolling down his cheek, standing in the middle of a black and white dancefloor with a solitary disco ball hanging from the ceiling. I like to think that if the Black Lodge had a dancefloor, it might look somewhat like this.

Day 30
Haiku for my Sparkstember 2025

(I messed up my haiku the first time, so I’m trying again. So embarrassing.)

With seven MAD shows,
my Sparkstember exploded
with staggering joy

Day 30 of Sparkstember. Ending with the lost disco classic. To celebrate a great month of Sparksrunning, I did a little dance. Alas, I slipped on some mud, went flying and crashed to the ground!

Digital collage, inspired by Sparkstember's day 30 prompt "Do Things Your Own Way," picturing Ron (left) and Russell (right) Mael as Elizabethan courtiers, wearing period clothing and standing in a room decorated in several shades of brown and gold. Golden walls, dark gold and brown tapestry, yellow and dark brown floor and yellow fireplace.

#Sparkstember day 29, Mad! "A Long Red Light," digital collage. One of my favourites out of the album. @sparksofficial.bsky.social

Digital collage, based on the original photo by Munachi Osegbu and inspired by Sparks' song "A Log Red Light," featuring Ron and Russell Mael, dressed in black and with their figures highlighted by a red border throughout, standing underneath a mysterious red star. Black background and red frame to reiterate the two-colour theme.

It's day 28 of Sparkstember so I ran 10km to my favourite album of 2023. I tried to get an action photo but it turned out rubbish. I was either moving too fast or my camera settings are all wrong.

Oh! I just noticed that I wanted to share this for Sparkstember yesterday and now it's too late 😕

Ah well, it's just photos anyway, so nothing special.

Fortunately I finally found this photo of Russell again! Every time I saw the Ron version I asked myself where I had Russell.

On August 8, 2021 they had a Q&A with Scott Mantz (in the 3rd photo) about their movie musical Annette in L.A. That's where these photos were taken.
Russell Mael smiling at the Q&A for "Annette". August 8,2021 in LA Ron Mael with a microphone in his hand and smirking. August 8, 2021 in LA at the Q&A for "Annette". Ron Mael, Scott Mantz and Russell Mael are standing next to each other and smiling into the camera. August 8, 2021 in LA.

Digital collage, inspired by Sparks' song "We Go Dancing" and Communist propaganda art, featuring Russell Mael and a female North Korean soldier engaging in a fictional military parade. Both figures are reproduced three times, for effect and to highlight the depersonalising nature of the event. Jet planes are featured in the background, performing aerial acrobatics.
