Old enough to know better. Stupid enough to care about it. Daft enough to keep on doing it anyway. Creates VISION ON SOUND for FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL, and draws a bit 😀

MAW_H from TwitWorld who presents VISION ON SOUND (a show about Archive TV) scribbles a few cartoon Ogrons, does other art (including Nosferatutu The Dancyr) & generally messes about with daft little projects in the hope people might enjoy them, but without any expectation that they actually will 😀

Watching it again today, the “spy heads” meeting near the beginning of M:I - DEAD RECKONING pt1 (where all the agency heads recite their lines perfectly one after the other) still strikes me as one of the oddest scripted meetings ever shown in cinema…

OBJECT Z showing not only how differently television was written and made back then, but also how different our ideas of society and deference towards authority was…
I’d be fascinated to see a modern remake 😀

“…There’s not that much of it, so it shouldn’t take me long,” I thought, “just another daft little project…”

It’s turned into a MONSTER!!! 😱

I used to “dabble a bit” with writing poetry and thought I might collect it all together into a “slim volume…”

I’ve been gathering it all together and…

Currently, at about the halfway mark, the master document is running to 600 pages… 🙄

I did a weird thing this week. Well, at least for me it’s kind of weird. Not being someone who usually wears image-based clothing, nevertheless, I designed myself a RedBubble image for the radio show & actually ordered one to be printed on a sweatshirt with the plan being to maybe actually wear it 😱

…yet another day, however, spent procrastinating in order to avoid getting on with any of those new book projects I keep hinting that I might be about to start 😂

Martin A W Holmes @hwam.bsky.social · 12d

Spent an interesting day delving into the back catalogue of my own experiments in writing poetry (of a sort) and find myself surprised and a little bit delighted (and slightly intimidated) by just how much of the stuff there is…

I suppose both Barney in MISS:IMP and Brains in THUNDERBIRDS spent long evenings thinking up disaster scenarios and coming up with appropriate gadgets to deal with them “just in case”

The jackdaws appear to be having a meeting…
“Now, somebody has been stealing our leafs… A couple of weeks ago, this tree was covered in them, and now there are hardly any left. Now, I don’t want to accuse anyone, but personally I blame the magpies…”
