Outsider art has fascinated me for a long time. I think I first came across the concept in the book Art Worlds by Howard Becker, which was required reading at uni (it explains art as a collective action of not only artists, but suppliers, dealers, consumers and critics as well). After having spent a semester in Boston as part of an exchange program, I went on a month long road trip through the east of the US...

I've seen them grow from strength to strength with their Dutch food pop-ups at some of Toronto's hippest bars. After several sell-out events they decided to take the plunge and start their own bar/restaurant!

This Saturday 18 March I will be traveling up to Liverpool with my good friends of Annexe The Moon for a special late opening of the Tate Liverpool Café. There will be live music, cocktails and general good times, and I’ll be providing music before, in between and after the bands.

I turned the food faces that I made at Collage College into a zine! Buy all them 28 faces from my Etsy shop.

A while back I was asked to create some artwork for the "melodic Psych-Scousepop" band Annexe The Moon. And now it's out on Great Sheiks Music: their first single 'Ever Meaning Less'. It was great to hear them being played on BBC Radio 6 on release day! Have a listen and/or buy it on Bandcamp or iTunes.
