Earlier this year I began my MAGICAL HISTORY TOUR, a live show of history-themed parody songs. It's like Horrible Histories meets Weird Al. Starting this Friday (28th), I'll be posting one EVERY SINGLE DAY! (This is so you don't get confused as to why songs are suddenly appearing all over your feed)

An epic clash between Anglo-Saxons, Scots, and Irish Vikings in 937 AD changed the history of the British Isles. But where did it happen? Historians have spent over a century arguing over where the battle of Brunanburh might have taken place. Now it's my turn.

In a world of artificiality, embrace something real.
Touch it. It's there. No greenscreen, no AI.
By choosing to make something so obviously false - paint and pastels on a board - it's actually more real than the 'realistic' high tech.
And that's why what we do is so different.
