I wrote a new piece ‘Msn (Gore Portal)’ for the Fall issue of Vice magazine - special issue dedicated to Deftones.
Erotic deftones fan fiction about a teenaged obsessive trying to write erotic deftones fan fiction. Accompanied by bits of my collage work ~plus~ some really fun meta play in the letters pages.
This band meant and mean a lot to me, was really psyched to contribute to this issue! 14 -and 41- year old me very proud. Thanks @vice@kevinleekharas for commissioning and of course fucking @deftones
These photos ^^^ by the multitalented @realbadtime Cheers!!
Be Quiet and Drive Issue now Sold out direct from vice, but check there for a list of UK stockists…
Hippy Baggage ✌️
I made a zine with a new text called ‘Hippy Baggage’ within! Hand collaged edition of 40, each one unique (saddle stitched collage and inkjet on card and paper, dry transfer lettering, acrylic medium). Not all pictured…

☮️ The text and the zines were made for the closing event of Charlotte Saint Cullen’s exhibition ‘A Mean Thing’, Imbolc/St Brigid’s Day 2026. Thanks @charlottesaintcullen ! I wrote ‘Hippy Baggage’ fast and loose. It started out almost aggressively weird before going somewhere kind of romantic. Hope u like! ☮️
