Felt like I was 10 yrs old and getting a request played on Radio Clyde – such was my excitement to make it onto Sara Barron & Geoff Lloyd’s podcast They Like to Watch… The episode features a good chat with Sarah Phelps, my ‘contribution’ is at about 46 mins in. Be warned, the topic is…

Curated into Monster, Ghost and Witch sections by Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard and Claire Catterall, this was fun-packed and quite the top trumps experience for the geeky hauntologists among us. Plus it had that Radio Times cover from when Threads aired…
Read MoreFuseli’s Bums ‘n’ Dos
Alternative title: Fuseli and the Modern Woman: Fashion, Fantasy, Fetishism at The Courtauld. Many of these drawings were in a private collection in New Zealand and were kinda Fuseli’s homemade erotica, many made in collaboration with his wife. It’s essentially mathematically spectacular hairdos and tempting botties – so great. Here’s the ‘real’ blurb (from the…

Loved the pastel witchy vibe at Your Arms Outstretched Above Your Head, Coding With the Angels, Tai Shani’s solo show and first thang up at Gathering, London. I had great images of this show but then I cleaned up my phone… So go here instead. Starting Shani’s 2019 sci-fi book Our Fatal Magic now… Gathering…
