Never mind the Oscars, if you want to see something astonishing - moving, gripping, beautiful - watch the brilliant Testament, who was our Blake star in Romantics and Us - be Orpheus in the Record Shop - unforgettably wonderful bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
BBC Four - Lights Up, Orpheus in the Record Shop

BBC Four - Lights Up, Orpheus in the Record Shop

Rapper Testament’s tale of redemption charges ancient myth with vinyl’s magic crackle.

Here's some awards I drew for @sheffdocfest years ago now. These are from 2014? I think. But I did it from 2010-2014. I'd draw them, and work into them with bright pink ink. There's also a poster dedicated to 1 of my fav documentaries called @WeArePoets

We had the immense pleasure of meeting Jeremy Hardy whilst making We Are Poets. He presented the world premiere @sheffdocfest and helped champion the film, even donating a chunk of his appearance fee to the poets. A lovely guy and inspirational artist. Thank you Jeremy
