Peter Carpenter talks to Ryan Murdock about Bowieland on the Personal Landscapes podcast. Discussing how the book came about and some of the many places we walked in search of Bowie. #booksky #bowie www.personallandscapespodcast.com/p/peter-carp...

A colourful collage of painted surfaces, text, photographs and ephemera. An image of David Bowie as the Thin White Duke emerges from the smear of colour and imagery.

The other night I had a dream about kicking around an off season British holiday camp with David Lynch. The next morning I walked down a local side street to avoid the crowds and saw this on a fire exit. A pleasing synchronicity. #hastings #stleonardsonsea

I bought the proper baking trays to make madeleines. I now mostly only eat madeleines. Send help.

A batch of yummy golden brown madeleines dusted in powdered sugar sit on a wire cooling tray.

A pair of reclaimed oak curlews I made a couple of years back. The largest pieces I make, all with hand tools. Currently sketching ideas for some new large pieces. www.christopherking.org/birds #decoycarving #woodwork #sculpture #interiors #midcentury #artsky

two carved wooden curlews on my workbench. The birds are made from old oak, with beaks carved from yew and walnut. They stand on bases of concrete with a coroded steel post. On the bench are other partially made wooden birds.

love this. One of my recurring visual memories of Venice is air con units/ junction boxes strung up near windows, just like in your drawing.

A digital collage based around the image of St Matthews Drive in Bromley from The Buddha of Suburbia, with a warm golden circle referencing the 19th card of the major arcana. Overlaid images of maps plot an optimistic escape route out of suburbia to a possible bright new future.
