Pictures from the Harrison Centre
We just recieved these shots from the show in Indianapolis. Looks like a great space and it’s great that people were given gloves to handle the books.

celebrity paperback editions
Hello Everyone, I’ve been making a lot of lists lately, mostly just for fun. One of my favourite ongoing lists is celebrities who function as sort of cheaper versions of other celebrities. That doesn’t mean they’re less talented, or less wonderful, just that if you wanted to cast, say, Darth Vader for a movie, but
We’re on show in the USA
The Harrison Center for the Arts in Indianapolis have put some of our work on show during their current month-long exhibition, and it is receiving praise and interest. And we’ve been informed of a strange co-incidence in that John Ringhofer, our latest collaboratee, has also played a show there in the past. The Center sounds very astutely run,
The Heart of Sunday night
Ping* and I just popped to Edinburgh with our friend Kenny to see Tom Waits play. Definitely one of the most extravagant things we’ve done in ages, but it felt GREAT! It was an amazing gig; he roar-sang with the whole of his body for more than two hours, stamping on a weird circus-surplus platform covered with
The Credit Crunch: a bleak breakfast!
Eddie Farrell spent the day at the workshop attempting to reduce his to-do list. We had a fun time of it printing and talking through our hats. It’s a good thing to take new people down to the workshop; they often avail themselves of opportunites that have been staring me in the face. Today we
Half-handed Cloud & Henningham Family Press
Thanks to everyone who came along and joined us for our evening at the Foundry. We’d been making this print all week with John Ringhofer of Half-handed Cloud {above}, and it culminated in this music and live-print show {below}, featuring the 12 foot wide vinyl {or LLLP!} spinning stage. Special thanks to John and also
We’re on Resonance 104.4FM with Half-handed Cloud {noon 27/6/08}
We’ll be on the radio again tomorrow, I’ve pasted in the info from John Ringhofer’s bulletin: Hello!Thanks to those that came-out to tonight’s live printmaking/sing-a-long peformance in London on the giant 12-foot turntable. Really fun. We’ll try to post pictures before too long. For those who couldn’t make it, we’re going to play on London radio
Half-handed Cloud & the great 12′ vinyl experiment
You may have often heard us praising the gifts of John Ringhofer, the man behind Half-handed Cloud. Now you can hear him for yourselves! John is coming to do a print with us, and to celebrate that print, we’re putting on an event with him at the Foundry bringing together the pressing of prints that
Photos from the Erroneous Disposition of the People…
As the evening light grew dim on a drizzly wet London, a man wearing sneakers mounted on speakers thunked heavily up a small stair case and the room full of people fell into silence. Then he pressed play on the tape recorder, and an old man’s voice, fuzzy from the nearly obselete audio equipment, boomed
Reading from our new book 02/06/08 @ The Reliance
On the 2nd June, 7.30pm, we’ll be having a reading from our new book upstairs at the Reliance pub in Shoreditch. It’s called “the Erroneous Disposition of the People” and it was written by David Barnes, David Henningham, and Wade Bradshaw. We took the chapter headings from Thomas Brownes ‘Pseudodoxia Epidemica’ {‘common misconceptions’} and used
