So, I was thinking about things other than football and here are some of highlights, in no particular order!   Posca pens - these are great art pens - they're my favourite art thing - I know I said not thinking about football or art, but that's not really possible.

March Murals....

If you follow me on Instagram you'll have noticed that for the last few months my feed has been full of the mural work I'm doing at Elland Road the home of LUFC. I've been having a fantastic time, working in collaboration with the artist and author Rob Endeacott and between us we're once again transforming the East Stand stairwells with our Leeds United themed murals, featuring players from the past and present. You can see it all here, on my Instagram feed. If you're interested in taking a look at my LUFC inspired art, you can view it here:...
