Made from my Sonar set, which I'm pretty happy with as a piece of work.
Just like the A4 one I made last month, it has too much pink in the colours so skin tones look a bit odd. Nevertheless, it's a very satisfying object and a great souvenir for all of us who went.
This issue from 2005 focused on photos of artwork found on the base panels of street light posts from around the US.

We bought a copy of this gentleman’s poetry while sitting in front of Toronto’s City Hall. He said selling this pamphlet is his main source of income, and it was enough that he could pay the Salvation Army $10 a night to sleep in their facility, plus get enough to eat.

Liking garage rock in the mid-90s was like saying "I have the plague...please steer clear of me", proving once again that the kids are just dumb.
Books! Got three books back today from PhotoWorks. I am basically doing some experimenting to see what looks best. The Chocolate book is the only Hardcover book I made, and it is by far the best looking of the three.
My second publication, this time an e-book available for download for free. If you download it and all I ask in return is a post card from where ever you are in the world.

Martin Gillott, better known in the wrestling world as Jackie 'Glitterboy' Evans, knew early in his career that life in the ring would be no walk in the park. Posing as a blond, Lurex-clad gayboy who liked to fight dirty was great for ticket sales, but not so good for his health. He was knocked out five times in his career - always by a furious fan, never by his opponent. Yet Martin loved the game, and wouldn't change a day of his 12-year professional wrestling career. Now he tells all, including hilarious accounts of adventures in and out of the ring, fans violent and amorous, landladies who were scarier than Giant Haystacks and girls who were faster than Mick McManus. And then there were the many well-known names he rubbed shoulders with along the way, from Brian Glover to John Le Mesurier. Confessions Of A Wrestler will have you in stitches - just like 'Glitterboy'.
