Mr Brown's Pig is the performance name of Chris Brown, a committed storyteller, puppeteer and musician. He has been an inspiration to me for many years now, and I was delighted when he asked me to remake the framework and playboard of his puppet stage.

Tula’s Flames
Tula and I had great time today spray painting this yellow army onto the red wall in her bedroom. We had designed the idea ages ago but we've only just got the respirators we need to spray indoors. I say we, Tula did the designing, I just assisted the artistic process. Tula Iis very …
