Desperado Housewives - Stoke Newington

Helen McCookerybook has done a tremendous illustration for the Desperado Housewives party in Stoke Newington. It's so beautiful. I love the mop, I love the horse I love the whole thing ... beautiful crayoning, lines ... the mixture of domestic housewife and Western imagery ...

We're playing Sat 16 Oct at the Palatine on Stoke Newington Road

Dunmanus Bay

On my little walks I kept seeing the same poster attached to different posts and walls. They had a big cross and said something like 'No to Marine Harvest', and I later found out it was in opposition to a proposal to salmon farm in Dunmanus Bay. I thought the bay was so beautiful but am ignorant of the environmental arguments. You can discover more about the protest at http://www.savedunmanusbay.org
