it IS the spoinging!

Located between Birmingham and Manchester it is the magic, the fairy dust, the bit in between!

We're just about to set up a group "SexUpStoke" :)

Lovely to meet you, see you at the Leopard later!

thanks for the interest in culturing stuff.

you look as busy as I am. I'll try to have a good look through your profile as soon as I can. I think we're aiming for the same things.

feel free to drop in at www.culturingstuff.com it's early days and I'm just one man trying to fill a community with interesting art through media. I like what you say about social journalism haha... I've been a social documentary photographer for twenty years and seen my fair share of misery and so now I suppose I'm trying to bring the positive to light as apposed to expressing the negative. I think we'd get on.

Cheers for the ad

At 1:16pm on January 18, 2009, Mark Brereton said…: Thanks for the heads up on the mistake on my blog post. It seems that the more i type the worse i get. Too much text for an artist :-) I can pop up and visit you next week, what day is good for you? I can do any day except Thursday.
