Been working on something pretty special for a while now and excited to finally share it.

There’s an ad I keep hearing on podcasts where a woman is getting stressed out making Christmas dinner, and her teenage son says “Mum, I, er, made you a playlist on Amazon Music.” God, it is so unintentionally bleak. The whole interaction is so cold and joyless.
Maybe it’s just poor acting, I dunno.

Simon photo bash I did for a Spotify playlist cover. Been wanting to try photo bashing for a long time, much different than what I usually do but I had so much fun and am super proud of this one.

I really enjoyed this honest insight into Irvine Welsh the person and his writing. Left me with the urge to catch-up with the novels I’ve not read yet and revisit those I have.
A Few Good Men. Best in Show. A Mighty Wind. Miss Congeniality. Barcelona. All three movies in Linklater's "Before" trilogy. Music & Lyrics. Michael Clayton. All films that were able to be made because of the production company Reiner co-founded in order to give talented filmmakers creative freedom.
They are fabulous

All new characters

It’s bullshit. Who pays the piper calls the tune.
Good on you brother
Said goodbye to one of the most beautiful human beings I’ve known, so lucky to have her as a friend. #PamHoggForever
Can’t even think about how much I’m going to miss this one. #ManiForever
