Beyond the Pole

My love of Alexander Skarsgard (Generation Kill, True Blood) is initially what attracted me to this film, but after reading the blurb on the ICA(Institute of Contemporary Arts) website, I sadly realized he’s only a minor character. However, by this point the film had caught my attention, and I did something I rarely do…bought tickets in advance for a screening. Read more ›

Church is Weird

Sometimes even people who one can reason with get caught up in circumstances that end up with them sitting in church on a Sunday. On the 3rd Advent that person was myself, sitting in the third row attending a three-children-in-a-row baptism ceremony held by a priest with a good mood.

UTLTU examines the complex and largely misunderstood principles and beliefs that led to this rebellion against Christianity and modern culture.

Kyle Bibby / Art Fag

Kyle Bibby is an independent graphic artist living and working in Leeds. He shares a house with two other graphic designers so it’s like he lives in some kind of graphic design world where it’s hard to define what’s real and what’s made from vectors. I like to think his house is made by apple and his kitchen is decorated in 320 GSM Hardwood Pulp Stock…
