read all about it part 2 do i have a stalker?

did you see me in the paper? no because i wasn't in it. so why did a complete stranger come round my house to take photos of me? and why did someone call me up and asking questions about me?

and why do i have the felling I'm be watched? and why am i always running out of socks? has someone been stilling they to make a life size Ian Byford sock puppet?

well if you are stalking me don't forget i will be at bar form on the sunday show some of my art work from 6ish

and why not go on Friday and Saturday to and check out all the cool stuff going down

ps making i life size sock puppet sound like a good idea if only i had more socks

welcome to my world

there is a article Enfiled Advertiser i haven't read it yet because it 00.32 am

but some of you may of. so this is my welcome party for all you new to my vast Internet empire of wed pages and online profiles. you will find links to my pages and profiles Down the side of my blog but because i know it's harder to find stuff when you have drunk the obscenely alcoholic punch at a party i will include some links in this post.

i guess before i make too many spelling mistakes i'll point out that i'm dyslexic so you will just have to put up with the bad spelling and grammar.

despite being dyslexic i started a righting project my distopeian scrapbook which has now become part of most of my art. including my work which will be on show at bar form's form fest.

i also have two web shops one on redbubble where All t-shirts are 15% off, and any order with 5 or more shirts ships free until Thursday 30th, 23:59 US Pacific Time (you got here just i time)

and spreadshirt.

you can also find me on facebook profile and fan page

myspace and twitter

read all about it part 1 glen or glenda

last weak my brother as well as helping me put the spelling right for my mini comic he put togaver a press release for the local papers.

the next day a reporter from the Enfield advertiser phone me up and woke me up at the ungodly hour of 2 in the afternoon (don't they know people without real jobs are trying to sleep) to ask me questions about my work which will be on show at bar form's form fest on the 2nd ,and arrange for a photographer to come round and take a photo of me with my work the next day. so in tomorrows advertiser look out for a article possibly with a quote from a hath asleep me and a photo of me thinking "I'm the wrong side of this camera"

knowing what the press are like i have titled this part 1 just i cases they think i co-written the song 'Reach' for S Club 7 and i need to set the record strate

sleeping with the fishes?

my body does not like getting up and going to bed at "normal" times and i often end my day by going for a walk as it starts getting light when most "normal" people & fish are still asleep
so at about 5.30-ish am when the heavens opened i was in lee valley park hiding from the rain with about 15 spiders.(i think they was asleep too but it's hard to tell)

and when the Enfield Advertiser call me 2-ish to ask me about my work being exhibited at form fest i was in the middle of a good day sleep and may not of been at my most communicative

put some clean cloth on and get out the house
