Tests for a little painting repair job on cheap cotton canvas. A PVA patch vs. Paraloid B72. The water discolouration is less serious than the seepage and gloss of the resin.

20 years. I'm advised to share it again, as half of the people who read it first time have since died from old age.

Bye bye Bytten. From 2003 to 2013, I was part of a team who reviewed weekly indie games. Today, the last remnants of Bytten were taken down. I have all of the reviews, and will muse on what to do with them. Thanks to everyone who viewed, read, submitted, supported.

Videos for 'All Controlled By Someone' complete! 24-hours until the single release, the extended album version will be out Oct 31st. I like these LED spotlights because the red/green shimmer of the 'yellow' improves the look. My music YouTube channel is where it'll be.

Bought this oak mirror today, a lovely old frame. You can recognise its age and pedigree by looking at the back, 100 years old perhaps. I love the discovery of dismantling these old souls. The glass was 5 or 6mm thick. Ready for a new life with some surrealist art. #art #painting #frames
