Everyone needs a Daemon

Christ, my foot is huuuuge

Young Zach, gazing out the window at the sky, lost in information overload. Thanks very much to Mum and Dad for a delicious piece of lamb, a cheeky chianti, and very nice dessert wine to push us into oblivion.

Grand Tour

They describe it as a banksy backlash, but really it's just a fun way to infiltrate the common consciousness without coming on all heavy about art. The Grand Tour has dotted prints of classic works of art around Soho and the West End, for the man in the street to admire or ignore as they see fit. You can go on a tour of all the prints and submit your pics to their flickr site, specifically set up for roaming photographers to upload their snaps to. had I known this beforehand I would have made more effort with the picture. Ah well, they can't all be gems, anyway, it's about the art maaaannn. Cool thing about Van Eyck's classic seen here, is that he wrote 'VanEyck woz here' above the mirror on the back wall in which his own reflection can seen, hard at work behind his easel. He like totally invented graffiti, eat that banksy!

The Wizard of Izzard

Captured from a distance with the old camera phone while security wasn't watching, Eddie Izzard about to take flight on yet another elaborate tangent. I love this man. I love this style of comedy. So what if there was old material cropping up, I don't care. He can do it all again, over and over, it bothers me not. Jam, Darwin, flies, Nuns, wasps, chickens, Mohammad, French, German, God, intelligent design and the Romans. The man's a genius. It's good to see him on stage where he belongs. Not poncing about with Clooney n' co, not doing a bad American accent. Not on screen. Film is not this man's medium, I wish he'd just accept it and come back home to the London that loves him.
