Thanks to everyone who participated in the whole 'look at my re-done site malarky'. Had some brill feedback and some lovely messages. Ta muchley.

Not much to say except check out the new Paris portfolio in 'Other Work' and the hidden photo has been found. Now there's only the booby prize.

Al is movement director of a performance of A Midsummer NIghts Dream at 295 Regent Street from tonight till March 2nd. Go see, it'll be awesome. Info at http://www.theatredelicatessen.co.uk/msnd/tickets.html

PS: Print sales section coming soon... Get planning for Christmas '08. Hah - might be the first person to mention it this year. Boo yaa!

Hello there. How's it going? Yep - two posts in one month. How about that. Well this one is slightly more than a simple post... I've been beavering away like a madman on this thing. The whole site needed a very good clear out and clean up. I have put up new work, thrown some old stuff out, dusted and polished and here it is. What do you think?

Had a crazy busy week and what with trying to ween myself off Tony Hawks 3, I'm pretty zonked. There's a fair bit coming up in Feb so I was keen to sort the site out before I go away. It's been a month since Christmas - feels like a couple of days. Crazy fast. Plus, the beard is a month old today! haha.

One more thing... In a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style game, I've hidden a link somewhere on the site and the first person to tell me what the photo is of, wins an exclusive print out of any photo here. Might be worth something one day, you never know. Happy hunting.

So anyway, I'll keep this one short as it's saturday morning, it's sunny outside and there's a motorbike which needs fettling. Have a good look around. If it's your first time here then stay a while, grab a cup of tea and browse through some photos you probably wont have seen before. Then let me know what you think - good or bad.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me out in one way or another. This place wouldn't exist without you. Well, it might exist, but it'd look a lot more crap.

Speak soon.

Happy new year y'all. Was it all good and exciting? Started well here by not updating the site for a good month and a bit. glad to see the punctuality has improved. Actually - it hasn't in a big way... I've just bought an old playstation and Tony Hawks skateboarding 3. Whoops. It's a little like heroin so I'm told. We'll see how deep the addiction runs soon enough. Fingers crossed I can beat it.

Anyway. December was fun fun fun. I wrestled the bike to camber sands which was ace - beautiful beach house and dry roads. All fun till I fell off on the way home and scared myself a little. Which is good I think. The gear lever needed a bit of roadside reshaping and my girly tool bag (one of Feras old makeup cases which has a good zip but lots of flowers on it) fell out of the top box and was nearly seen by the guy helping my up! Was glad to get back.

A day later I was similarly freaked out at Karen Bishkos house on a shoot for Sugar magazine. I'm sure she's lovely and she's a very good artist but her house is SO pink! It's like falling into a bag of marshmallows. The most girly place you've ever seen. Unbelievable. Plus the photographer and I were the only 2 blokes on a shoot full of girls so it was pretty giggly. Wanted to watch some football, drink beer and fart. Loudly.

I went to Liverpool for the morning (which is weird) to assist on a job with Beth Tweddle the Olympic gymnast hope. Sorry - just read her site, "britains most succesful gymnast - ever". Not just a hope. The gym was amazing though - a whole massive hall full of everything you'd ever want in a gym. Bars, rings, trampolines, foam pits, springboards, mats, vaults etc.. So good. Like birthday parties at Steel City Gym when you were 9. And as Stewie says "may i remid you that this is totally not gay!"

The mighty blue Honda made it up to Sheffield for the holls. Fantastic. 5 hours and it was brilliant. 6ft 3" 14st Joe had a ride on the back, on wet roads the next day. Pretty scary stuff but think there's another potential biker there. Miss Pugh came over on boxing day and we headed to the Lakes for New year. Very relaxing time even though it rained non stop for 3 days. Visited Lucys on a Plate again for an awesome burger and duck fat fries. Nice.

Oh yeah - what am I thinking!!?? Check this out right now...

Probably the best thing I've ever seen on a motorbike. Apart from this.

No news of the stolen bicycle so if you happen to have an old road bike rusting away in the garage let me know. And if you see my old Pompino in the clutches of the Brick lane scallys then also let me know!

Another quick note, St John Bread and Wine is amazing if you're 100% not a veggie. lots of meat from all over the animal. you'd be surprised how tasty pigs cheek and crackling is.
On the flip side, Sunset Strip wasn't running their "A team" on early saturday evening at Jimmys stag do...

And finally I've bought a box of paper! Proper photo paper for folios. If you're an art director / buyer / editor, beware. A box of pictures might just be on their way to you soon.

Catch up soon my friends. I hope 2008 will be super smashing for you all.
