The toilet paper drama has become a distant memory. Earlier today my (soon to be) 15-year-old son said he had been watching YouTube videos, of people around the world fighting in shops over – toilet paper. During dinner, we talked about the Coronavirus (which dominates so much right now), and the experience of shopping. Earlier... Continue Reading →
New Heroines & Heroes Fighting COVID-19
https://youtu.be/j_ISw_hBtso?rel=0 Today is the day Sunday, which Sunday? 20th of March - could be (it's actually 23 March - I'm terrible with time & dates). I popped out for a little bicycle ride, and ended up in one of my favourite corners of the English garden (in Munich, where I live). And what was really... Continue Reading →
53 Fragments (in 5 parts) – RELOADED
the idea behind 53 fragments The origin of 53 Fragments goes back to the early part of 2014 (it was launched in September 2014).The idea of a ‘serial’ creation has a tradition stretching back a long way. How we - as artists - use this is only as restricted as our needs and imagination. I... Continue Reading →
Healing and Growth in the Time of Coronavirus
In 2019 I was fired (as managing director, somewhere). It's a long story and the most important thing for me, was underestimating its consequent impact. An impact on an emotional level that was a bruise developing in extreme slow motion. Imperceptible over the following months yet ultimately profoundly debilitating. I had worked full time (drawing...

WEBOLOGY, my first website
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3nvZWB6SCM&t=52s?rel=0 In April/May 1999 I put up my first website. It was called WEBOLOGY. A friend, Kira Scurro, did the coding and we collaborated on the design. 21 years later I created and launched my first blog (the one you're in now) (www.yesanotherblog.com). For the last 15 or more years I had forgotten about the... Continue Reading →
On the edge of a fountain in Munich
It's March 19, 2020. I'm sitting on the edge of a fountain in Munich. Behind me there's a statue called The Angel of Freedom. It's quite quiet on the streets. A few cars, though, whizzing around and a few bikes, mine included, which is stationary at the moment because I'm sitting at the edge of... Continue Reading →
On Depression and Reinvention
On depression. It's not like you have to have, or one has to have a deep-seated, deep-rooted depression ... root thing, that's run over years, if not, the whole life ... to ... experience depression. Life circumstances can change suddenly, or over a longer period of time. And present someone with challenges that, basically, outstrip... Continue Reading →
Toilet Paper Part 2
I had a lovely shopping experience this evening. I say that without a shred of irony permeating the sentence. It was 7 in the evening and I cycled off to the local supermarket, in search of a carton of eggs. I had certainly given up on toilet paper and earlier in the day, the kitchen... Continue Reading →
Toilet Paper & the Grail
Today a friend jokingly referred to a roll of toilet paper as the grail. The recent disappearance of extremely large quantities of toilet paper, from shelves around the world, has puzzled me a lot. It's weird and absurd, as well as being a sign of deep-seated selfishness and anti-social behaviour. What will normal buyers of... Continue Reading →
It begins
I’m an analogue/digital kind of person (and vice versa). I also collect. I am a collector (even reluctantly so). This is my first blog post in my first blog (‘yes another blog’) I’ll try and keep this brief. It’s a Mission Statement. Let’s share. Let’s be loving, kind, open, supportive and try our best to...
