chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 20/12/2024as the winter chill sets in I can't help but think back to our glorious summer visit to Sissinghurst, artistic cradle of Vita Sackville-West. 010

chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 12/12/2024great to have a local coffee specialist housed in something as unique as an old industrial grain silo just outside Bungay.... good brews and locally baked delights. 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 10/12/2024one of my all time favourite john romita spider-man covers - his arrangement of seven figures in combat giving each one the opportunity to express their power is just pefect draftsmanship. Oh - and love the typography in the foreground. 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 10/12/2024not often that you can illustrate the splendour of a C21st tv drama with some C16th portraits but BBC's Wolf Hall is living art - toxic court intrigue and political shenanigans made painfully contemporary. 010
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 10/12/2024slightly dreading the 3 hour running time of THE BRUTALIST - but glad to hear there's a fifteen minute intermission for us senior citizen film buffs.... 010
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 10/12/2024an atomic mushroom cloud of gleaming pots and pans - took the kids to see this at TATE Britain fifteen years ago in a decade when it still seemed surprising to encounter such things in an art gallery. 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 09/12/2024delightful exhibition & talk by Norwich artist Malca Schotten at Diss Corn Hall revealing her influences - Auerbach, Kapoor and Kiefer - and approach to capturing people at an exhibition. 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 20/11/2024in all the excitement of the new Cure album I was drawn back to this rather splendid collection of Cure-cover versions that demonstrates 1. robert smith has written a stack of truly great love songs and 2. it's intriguing how many of them actually suit a female lead vocal/ interpretation. 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 20/11/2024genius at work (just look at those crossed hands) - Marc Chagall hard at work in his studio. 010
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 19/11/2024more fun with some old film magazine tear sheets and an ailing scanner 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 19/11/2024great fun setting up & curating this pop-up art show to continue our creative army's battle against avian extinction.... 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 19/11/2024in 1975 i think this probablty cleared out my monthly pocket money but boy was the over-sized Barry Windsor Smith artwork worth it.... 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 19/11/2024another goal and assist v Iceland to get wales back into the top tier of the nations league.... the gareth bale comparisons will continue to gather around him.... 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 19/11/2024digging thru some old boxes of tickets I found this gem from...er... 46 years ago (I believe the gig was Oct 1979) - possibly Boston's first big trip to the UK - at a great but long gone venue in Finsbury Park, North London. And look at the price - four rows in from the front of the balcony: £4!!! 010
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 18/11/2024so long before COP29 in Baku we took to the streets of Paris at COP21 and with a great team of local guerilla gardeners set up green barricades to remind urbanites of the joy of nature.... 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 18/11/2024some of my favourite character design sketches by Oliver Harud for our BADGERED graphic novel project. 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 18/11/2024if i ever do a psychedelic folk album this will be the cover. 010
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 17/11/2024last summer in the garden - a lot more interesting when you get close up and a little rocky on the focus... 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 17/11/2024re-watching the first series of Wolf Hall before plunging into the new episodes. Not surprised the key cast returned nine years on to pick up their award-winning roles. Such a unique drama - historical but delivered with such a contemporary feel for its characters. 000
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 17/11/2024back of the garden/ old shed - ground level sproutings.... 020
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 17/11/2024some old skool image manipulation - physical pages of portrait-pics torn out of film magazines - then pulled around, dragged and rotated on an A4 scanner as it scans.... never sure what the outcome will be until the finished scan materialises.... 010
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 17/11/2024My BADGERED co-creator and friend, artist Oliver Harud, is at THOUGHT BUBBLE this weekend, running the stall and introducing everyone who passes to our twisted tale Of Badger, Toad & pals v the stoats and weasels of the Wildwood Estate... think Wind in the Willows meets The Long Good Friday!! 010
chrisaldhous.bsky.social @chrisaldhous.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Day One. First post. Just back from the local farm shop. Best of suffolk - eggs, bread & funghi.... 150
