Solstice in Spring

Building up the word count on my first draft of Solstice - Part 1:

Sweyne's Eye ~ Marina Shed Doors

My last pics I will share from Sweyne's Eye ~ 2014-15. The pic is of shed doors down in Swansea Marina. Of you would like to see more of the images, you can purchase the photography zine here.

This artwork features on the doors of a boat shed in Swansea Marina, and uses the symbolism of doors to represents the passage from one state to another. The marble door handles have been crafted into the shape of a boat to carry travellers through these states, whilst a huge guardian eye keeps a protective watch over those who undertake the voyage. Beneath the boat, and threatened by a single graphic harpoon, ocean lifeforms gather.... The work was designed by Robert Conybear and Robin Campbell.

Swenye's Eye ~ Street Cat

Having been put on lock down, I have been able to spend a fair amount of my time working on Sweyne's Eye photography zine. Over the next few posts, I will be sharing some of the images that be found in these various zines for your hopeful delectation, starting this friendly feline:

Writing in the Garden :)

The weather finally allowed me to write out in the garden this afternoon. And it was glorious :)

Sweyne's Eye ~ 2016 (Part Two)

Sweyne's Eye ~ 2016 (Part One)

My employer has sent everyone with medical issues home until further notice. I have decided to keep my mind occupied by making an early start on the next issue of my Sweyne's Eye zine.

Taking My Mind Off Things...

Taking my mind off things by engrossing myself in the creation of fiction:

A Moment of Peace

A sunbeam near our new living-room picture:

Cursed

Some disquieting fiction to take my mind off darker realities:

Seems Strange...

It seems strange writing a Christmas ghost story in the sunshine:

Dawn Chorus, March 02, 2020

This is the sound that awakens us each morning. :) The audio recording was taken from our bedroom windowsill. Captured in the recording are the sounds of traffic, our neighbour's cat, a great tit, sparrows, a magpie, a blackbird, gulls, planes and chickens:

Fluttering Polythene #4 & #5

Continuing my photography series on polythene caught on barbed wire, here are two more images captured from my local water tower:

I think I have found myself a new project for a future issue of Sweyne's Eye :)

Solstice - Scene 1. Draft 1. Completed.

New Cover Designs For My First Four Folk-Horror Novels

March 03, 2020

Here they are - the new cover designs for my first four folk-horror novels. My fifth (Berserk!) was only published a few month ago, so I am still happy with the cover for that book. To celebrate the relaunch of these titles, they will be offered for sale at just 4.99 for the entire month of March. :)
