I didn’t expect to be featured in this article for East London Lines

My writing work is mentioned and together with recent readings, this is starting to give me the motivation to start publishing work again.

Haven’t had the right head on but that seems to have changed!

One of my fine observations

[Crofton Books in Brockley @CroftonBooks]

A builder eats his sandwich at lunchtime and whilst chewing, stands real close to the Roy Ayers mural, focusing on the paintwork

A builder friend calls out, it’s not a Banksy, Fred (his name?)

How many other modern artists does this man know?
