From my friend (and, at college, co-exhibitor) Josephine Dvorken. Thanks, Josie.For those of you who have seen my photos from college, it’s nice now to be associated with *birth*.

Spent a lovely bank-holiday weekend camping in Wales…

with an extremely fine bunch of people.

much of it spent around the campfire.

This is the very last time I leave my skateboard at home.

My friend robbie cooper has had his book of photos published and available from amazon. It’s really good and a unique view of modern gamers in and out of the game. Go buy it.

My Friend Erica Berg has made and is now promoting a terrific short film called Christine 1403 about Christine de Pizan. See it if you get a chance. It’s already been booked at a whole bunch of film festivals, so here’s hoping she is able to expand upon it.

It’s very relevant in our modern times of perpetual war.

Erica has previously made theatre about Mary Haskell (benefactoress to Kahlil Gibran) and Joan of Arc (which she performed as a one-woman show at the Edinburgh fringe to considerable acclaim).

She’s also one of my favourite people.

Late one night I found myself at shardcore’s place, after the last train had left and the kids were in bed. He had a video camera, a tripod, a list of questions and a hat.

He’s put the results up on his site, with more to follow: The Shardcore Inquisition.

shardcore has recently entered this portrait into the annual BP exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Fingers crossed.
