Mission statement

First up….. Two pieces of verse are selected for a horror anthology… More to come when its publicly promoted.. but I’m chuffed…. And the stories are real.,. Mental health awareness isn’t a walk in a daisy field….

Second, I had a proper good natter to some lads at Healthier Heroes in Burnley this week.. The work there is amazing… And the lads I spoke with are finding their own creative paths…. “Talking myself out of trouble” continues….

Next up T shirt sales… I’m loving it that people are buying them and modelling them for me on media platforms.. from poets, to postman, to gutter punksters, who’s next????….. Remember they’re DIY, economical no middle logo and it’s spreading the dirt…. LPF…

Lastly …..The book is bubbling.. the artworks close. it’s coming… next gig – sun 28th Feb lockdown live lounge on Facebook…..

Gutter punk love

So far since last blog I’ve done a promo vid for lockdown live lounge and shared some verse with peer group Mangang..

ive got a charity input this week with healthier heroes… stepping it up from the first zoom meet.. talking myself out of trouble.

And also the gutter punks that are the battery Farm have their hands on a LPF Tshirt… Ben doing the modelling..

The word is on the street.

First Leon T shirts were posted this week… And first model photo has been received!!!.. cheers top charity postie Steve Kay!!!

It’s Mangang day so looking forward to a catch up with the lads.. worth a look at what great work they do.. https://mangang.org/

Planning new project inputs for this week’s charity chats.. “talking myself out of trouble” anyone wanting a natter about what I do on these, please drop me a line..

Buzzing post wobble

I don’t mind admitting stuff now, so.. Ive just had a rocky week. thats open talking for you.. a culmination of blips and the anticipation of a few significant dates and events.

But I got out walking and kept up the creativity. Writing and even making a few promo T shirts!!!.. which will be cheap .. nudge nudge..

Had some nice chats with a few charities too, more stuff is bubbling on that front which I’m excited about. And I’ve just wrote a piece similar to “talking myself out of trouble” .. I’ve called it “creating a clear conscience”..

So anyway here’s a pic of my latest creation brain wave!! Comments welcome..
