Hey there, I just wanted you all to know about my new community-👁 Image

Its a new creative venue, and I hope it will be a great start to kick people writing again.

Black and white photography.

I seem to be putting all my creative efforts into making mix cds recently, and their covers and artwork. I dunno about you guys, but I've been really inspired by children's books and songs particularly Tove Jansson and Edward Lear.

Also, just the london underground and all its possibilities. And my uh, anthropomorphic constructions of inspiration, otherwise known as muses. Often I get more embroilied in imaginaing what the muses migth be doing than I do in actually getting anything done, hehe.

(i'll put some links in or pictures in a bit to show you exactly which parts i mean)
