A Kickstarter project to fund a photographic calendar:

I am in the process of creating a calendar of 12 Detroit landscapes, each featuring a discarded or abandoned couch. To you, it may signify the apocalyptic tidings of an empty city, but for some people, Detroit allows a great deal of freedom for reinvention. Municipal services are limited to the point where an abandoned couch might sit on the street for a month or more, maybe even long enough for someone to see it not as trash, but art…

Regular readers may know Sarah Sharp better as Trixie Bedlam.

I previously mentioned Suzanne Gerber aka Miss Wurzel Tod and her ongoing attempts to get her gallery/shop going against the slings and arrows of etc.

She’s now offering paid memberships to the gallery (which doesn’t exist yet, although the premises are secured) and related services.  Consider it a Kickstarter for something that’s almost there.

I’m going to want a copy of this:

Dan Shaper’s sins are a sickness.

Working as a fixer in London’s criminal underworld has brought him to the edge of breakdown, and the drugs don’t bury the nightmares like they used to. He needs to straighten-up and rebuild his life, but instead gets the attention of his old gangland masters and a job-offer from George Glass: an eccentric old man convinced he’s secretly an ancient Messiah. Normally Shaper would recoil from Glass’s senile brand of New Age salvation, but the case is as tantalising as it is lucrative:

A missing mobster. A bizarre spiritualist society. Three accidental deaths, unconnected but for a chilling forensic detail. And a note:

"You’re on a list."

Adrift amidst liars and thugs, Shaper must push his capsizing mind beyond its limits: stalked not only by a unique and terrifying murderer, but by the ghosts of his own brutal past.

PRECISION: a short film written by Mike Sizemore (remember the SLINGERS sizzle reel?) and directed by Andrew James Sykes.  Conceived, written, shot, edited and scored in 48 hours.  Just for you.

Most print copies of the magnificent COILHOUSE magazine sold out long ago.

Therefore, the Coilhouse Crew* have released, for a limited time, the back issues of COILHOUSE as PDFs, for a tiny USD $5 a pop.

I recommend these unreservedly.

* Mer shouts at me when I call her, Nadya and Zo the Coilhouse Coven. And then they curse me. Whatchagonnado.

You know Bryan Lee O’Malley. He did SCOTT PILGRIM. He’s also written a couple of my favourite pop songs. He’s a bit handy with a camera and the old Instagram, it turns out.
