The Fly Idea

Is there anything elusive but buzzing in your brain?

Colour Tumble

Yet another shameless promotion of Pet Poems, using an original drawing and text grabbed from different poems in my new book. I’m passing through Singapore, so if you have a copy and want me to fill it up with personal messages and random thoughts, all you have to do is find me.

Here is another episode with a new drawing, plus a few lines grabbed from different parts of Pet Poems and jammed together.

Out Of Reach

Secret Vespers — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 05:00:00 +0000

This episode was drawn by Francesca Frati, and the words are snatched from two different parts of Pet Poems. Pet Poems, by the way, is now available on Amazon. If you like it, I hope you will give me a good review!

Nothing Sudden

I have a new book! So for the next few webcomic episodes, I am going to be co-posting with Francesca Frati, the illustrator who worked with me on it. The book is called Pet Poems, and you can find it right here on Secret Vespers:
http://secretvespers.com/petpoems/

Some of the text in these upcoming episodes will be quoted from the book, but with original images not found in Pet Poems. Also related to Pet Poems, there is a new short story on the site, The Rat, which I hope you will like.

Have you ever responded to threats or danger with stillness? Or been afraid you might?

Alleycat

Secret Vespers — Mon, 31 May 2010 05:00:00 +0000

I saw a woman beckoning to a cat in an alley on the way home. I wanted to take a picture. Have you ever been in a situation that created a strong longing, a strong tension?

Flocks

Do you live anywhere that birds or other animals move in huge numbers? What do you think of them? Do you move in any human flocks?

Perfumed Bird At 120

This is the third in a series of three images beginning at: http://secretvespers.com/2009/11/06/perfumed-bird-at-100/. Have you ever forgotten yourself in love?

Perfumed Bird At 110

This is the second in a series of three images beginning at: http://secretvespers.com/2009/11/06/perfumed-bird-at-100/. Creatures that do not reproduce might as well live forever; what do you make of the connection between love and death?

Perfumed Bird At 100

Secret Vespers — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:00:00 +0000

This is the first in a series of three images, each of the same origami dove, at increasing contrast. Have you ever seen a dog roll around in something dead? It turns out that that smell, as disgusting as it is, is also fascinating.
