NEW PROJECT - #LowTarMatthaus - I've finally decided to double down on this personal project and give it the attention it deserves. Suggestions, collaborators and those that deal in the currency of 'exposure' are all welcome.

Not back at work till Monday, so time to delve into this present received over the festive period. Created by the ridiculously talented and superhumanly consistent @davidsquires.bsky.social - his 'peek inside the artists studio' is worth some of your hard earned cash alone
Extraordinary moment during miners’ strike when police and pickets forgot hostilities and played football. Nottinghamshire, March 1984, photo by Guardian's Denis Thorpe. Said it reminded him of the Christmas Day truce during WW1.
Always love sharing this, one of the greatest pieces of animation ever created… Enjoy x youtu.be/1w4FJCcZTKU?...
Muggers Corner, Elswick, Newcastle upon Tyne, 1978, by Tish Murtha. Needs an apostrophe.

It's only taken me 10+ years to finally concede and start using layers in a vaguely sensible way... part of a none Boro project I've decided to resurrect #StayTuned
Here we go then... the first keeper in my #BoroTeamSheetProject and it simply had to be Stephen Pears. Still need to do a few tweaks here and there but he's just about done. Absolute legend for the #Boro and all round nice guy too #Teesside #UtB
By public demand I'm doing signings before AND AFTER the @Boro match tomorrow. Seriously, lot of people said they don't want to buy then carry it around. So I'm doing 11.30-12 then I'll back in club shop after the game. Come & let me solve your Christmas present problems.

Jim Abrahams, one of the creators of the highly quotable movie "Airplane!," has sadly passed away. In 2016, he gave us the backstory on how its most enduring joke, "Don’t call me Shirley," may have saved the entire production. vulture.visitlink.me/whJogz
...btw in case there was any doubt which #Boro keeper I've gone for, it simply has to be Stephen Pears. Greatest goalie England 'nearly' had and literally the first name on the Boro team sheet growing up. 🧤
As mentioned previously, I'll keep trying to balance out the Boro content with some none Boro stuff too... so with keepers in mind, here's an #ElBrody I did a while back
All about the goals today (again), that's 4-1, 5-1. 6-2 in our last 3 games. I'm feeling inspired to pay tribute to the other end of the pitch by drawing my fav #Boro keeper tonight...
Loving the latest from Boney, so many cool nods to stuff in there back catalogue well worth a follow
This town.
Can happily endorse these btw an absolute treasure trove 👇
Ok, so, and this was a Twitter days thing, I have a LOT of mixtapes over on Spotify. Accepted, nobody ever listens to anyone else’s stuff, however, this is a thing I’ve been doing for YEARS so there may be *something* for you. 46x curated (? LOL) one hour mixtapes. open.spotify.com/user/jeffliv...
