This has the feeling of a Tom

Posted on Mon, 09 Nov 2020

This has the feeling of a Tom Waits song. The unevenly labelled Tsingtao is a brilliant detail. I want to steal that. 

Nice work.

Posted on Sun, 06 Sep 2020

No worries --  I think it conveys this idea of there being a kind of beauty in how existence and suffering are intertwined. However, that could just be my mindset on a Monday morning before a 3-hour meeting.

Really enjoyed the elemental feel of this.

I genuinely don't know how you keep control of that final stanza, but it's seriously impressive -- it reads like a wave, if that makes sense (probably not!). Anyway, nice one.

I could see this like a film

Posted on Fri, 07 Aug 2020

Anyway, this made me laugh out loud. Cracking.
