Bo Raaap



I read somewhere an interview with Agyness Deyn and she was asked what her favourite Queen song is. She chose this. I had a little chuckle. I know this might be turning into a Queen fansite/Playlist or whatever, but i cannot help but eventually voice my opinions on this, once and for all. I think, hands down, the grrreatest song of all time. And this was number one for 9 weeks! A song this complex, yet utterly brilliant.

These adverts make my day



New obsession. I think, the Antiques Roadshow coming out in me...spotted in Greenwich Market, my new stomping ground

"These boxes and furniture are made in the souks of Damascas. The inlay is designed by an artisan who hand-makes the design using fine woods and mother-of-pearl. This mosaic inlay is a speciality of Syria, whose artisans are known throughout the world for their fine work"

Proserpine, by Dante Gabriele Rossetti. Stunning painting which hangs in Tate Britain.
Typset 'Morris'. Influenced clearly by Morris and the Pre raphaelites. These are just preliminary scribblings and I plan to rework some of the letters soon
I think they're called Signas, im not entirely sure. I was reading up on some artists that combined the signatures to their name to make an attractive logo, representing them as would a signature. The Arts and Crafts and Pre-raphs were best known for this.
Trafalgar Road, 90 million years ago. Our place is literally at the bottom right of the photo.
