I’m working on a super cool show called Piano Takeover, which will be featured in the Imagine Children’s Festival at Southbank Centre. So spending my weekends with incredibly talented young pianists.
Bought one for HQ and I. Looking forward to having a play with it :)
Three Generations of Incarceration - Gary Younge
Gary Younge is an inspiration to me. Here’s another great documentary from him on how incarceration penetrates one american family. Brilliant!
I love this photo. It was taken during a workshop I ran with the photographer Kim-Leng Hills. The session called Urban Portraits, was part of Tate Britain’s Loud Tate event last year. Participants created portraits using found items and availabile light, torches and other random props. The group that created this portrait had a really strong idea to create a recycled wedding dress.
Happy New Year people! This is the last photo of me taken in 2011. Miss Steph’s balcony and windows are lovely, and she has mad TLR skills.
My author photo of Romesh Gunesekera is used in his book cover for his latest novel The Prisoner of Paradise. Check it out!
One of my biggest inspirations, Octavia Butler.
Happy Wednesday All!
This is a video of Yemisi Blake presenting his wonderful piece of work ‘Great British Youth’ which I was a part of. I’ll be posting a little story with photographs from our collaboration sometime soon too!
You can also check out his website here for more exciting bits and bobs from Yemisi!
Lots of love

Welcome to my new-ish. It’s really a continuation of the old one, but I’m moving with the masses now and using Tumblr. Enjoy!
