I sometimes forget about the stuff I’ve written and it takes something to pop up in my G Reader to remind me. Like this lengthy interview here with Shepard Fairey. I reviewed his last London exhibition for ICON magazine ages ago, but because it’s classic media it took a while to make it online and then I forgot all about it. Just dug out the link. I also took a lot of photos:

Probably some video on one of my hard drives too. That’s a job for another day. Also noticed that it’s been over a month since I uploaded anything to Flickr :/

That means I’ll have over a month’s worth of photos to sort out tomorrow on the train…

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally un-related. In order to be synchronous, the events must be related to one another conceptually, and the chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small.

Letting myself loose this month has been an interesting experience.

I originally freed myself up to continue work on West and Black, but by not worrying too much about work I somehow agreed to get involved in more projects than I just finished. Thankfully not only are all these new gigs fun, they’re all for the most part incredibly interesting and allow me to push forward some ideas that I’ve been mulling over since the beginning of the year.

April so far has also been a month of synchronicity.

These projects overlap, the people involved too. The Tuttle Club has paid a large part, but so has simply expressing an interest in what other people are up to. And not being so short sighted as to hang on for dear life to ideas that are now doing far better out in the wild, than stuck here in never published drafts.

One of these projects just took a tremendous wallop, but I’m far from reeling as I went in knowing the odds. The friend I’m working with on that was good enough to put all the cards on the table ahead of time – very refreshing when working with movie people. Now because we were open and honest we have the opportunity to push the work forward with a slightly different focus.

Disappointing? Undoubtedly. But it’s not a death knell.

Working fast, moving quickly and adapting as we build. It’s actually a lot of fun.

In some instances I’m still working with haughty old institutions and for the most part they are listening, but turning some of these tankers around is a slow, slow process. Thankfully I’m involved in so much right now that it’s quite a relief some of this stuff takes a while to get even close to where we want it.

Some things will happen sooner than others, but I think it should all tie together quite nicely.

Some of this stuff even overlaps into the fiction I’m doing, so the slight complaint on Twitter aside…

… it’s been a pretty good month.

Note: Just got my 1001st follower on Twitter. Mad bastards.

2.30am and I just got out of bed. Spent the last hour trying to trick my brain into thinking I was tired while staring at the bedroom ceiling. This has been a good week. Started a handful of new projects and am in talks with a bunch of interesting people that should see me busy for the next couple of months. The problem is that I keep thinking of NEW STUFF when I should be having my recurring dream about plane crashes.

The plan right now is to get some of these ideas squirreled away before they dim and then share them with the right people later in the week. I see a fresh batch of NDAs in the immediate future.

Tomorrow/today/you-know-what-I-mean looks like I’ll be working through until around 9pm so I need to get on with this stuff and then get my head down for a few hours.

Which is why I’m blogging about it instead.

I’m not the sharpest knife in the neck sometimes…

Yesterday I got to spend the afternoon on a gastro tour of Borough Market:

This seems somehow appropriate.
