I found this missing piece in a random draw in an antiques store. Portobello road. London.
Scary doll. Portobello Road. London.
A Maze of Death by Philip K Dick
My first PKD book.
Strange cover completely unrelated to the story.
Oddly brilliant.

The final take.
The last couple of days I’ve been directing sketches for Russell Howard’s Good News on location in London and on Bournemouth beach.

Finished Reading: King City by Brandon Graham
I already own the original first volume of King City and wanted more after finishing it so this was a must! I adore Graham’s style, his character designs and his complex science fiction city. The cat master is such a good idea/device and the sheer amount of puns had me laughing out loud. As a story the book is flawed and not as engaging as it could be, but in a way that doesn’t matter. The world, the characters and the story itself is such an enjoyable mess and assault on the senses it’s hard not to be pleased by every new page.
Check out Graham’s site. I drop in every now and then just to overload with visual stimulation: http://royalboiler.wordpress.com/
Finished Reading: Marked for Life by Paul Magrs
A strange, difficult, enjoyable and flawed read. Great story, really well written but suffers from the main character being the least interesting of the ensemble and an awkward genre gear shift near the end.
