Well two weeks into my photo-therapy treatment and it's going well, true I feel like I've got hellishly itchy - and really sore - sunburn all over my legs and have taken to having to wear big loose clown trousers around the house but already the results are pretty positive with a noticeable reduction in dragon scales with almost none around my ears and head. Plus I have a really healthy pink glow around my cheeks which is nice. The staff wait patiently to see what pants I'm wearing this week.   True there's a faint aroma of barbecue when you're in the machine and a slight fear that some kind of Final Destination style hi-jinks may occur at any moment but all in all it's a lot less scary/intrusive/embarrassing than I thought plus the staff have been absolutely brilliant and totally understanding of my slightly annoying Autistic need for information and chat regarding the treatment. Two weeks down with eight more to go....fingers crossed it works! 

   

Decided to pop the 1977 Lively Arts documentary Whose Doctor Who on today whilst working.     Obviously I've watched it loads of time before but it's usually something I have on in the background, only really paying attention to the clips - and to take the piss out of the contributors hair and fashions.  So you can imagine my surprise when I actually sat down and listened to 'expert' contributor John Miller, an educational psychologist who not only discussed the impact of the show's "scary bits" on children but came out with this little gem too....   Fucking Hell. 

  Back from the hospital after a wee bit of the old ultraviolet....  A wee bit itchy but have a lovely pink glow as opposed to being angry red so fingers crossed this is gonna work.... Updates to follow whether you like it or not.  

Might be a wee bit less of the complaining around here for the next few weeks (I can hear the collective sighs of relief) as it's Frightfest time so I'll be busy drawing poster art and portraits for the next month or so. In the meantime enjoy this years festival banner!  And you can check out my previous Frightfest work (if you're so inclined) here .  

  It's not all doom and gloom around here, occasionally I'll post random stuff that I enjoy (I am a full human after all) and today I'm celebrating John Carpenter's birthday with 3 volumes of classic Carpenter inspired cuts, Jack Burton beats and taxicab tune s that you can download here .   "It's all in the reflexes..."
