 It was sunny and warm today. I'm thinking about getting Bishop T-Shirts printed ... ? Anybody interested?Update: I'll probably handle it through cafepress. Are there any, perhaps better, alternatives out there?

 This is your Bishop Information Minister speaking. Enough repeats for today. The stupid person known as The Cartoonist will be back tomorrow. I'll bugger off now, crawling back into my damp hole in the Garden, underneath the pond, where that silly prat has ordered me to stay. I've had enough anyway. I'll go back into politics. I could easily become a spin doctor. See ya.

 This is your Bishop Information Minister speaking. The person known as The Cartoonist has been busy walking The Streets of London [MP3, 4MB] together with his uncle from Hamburg, who was so kind to supply him with the 1960's issues of 'film'. So I'm simply going to post a few repeats from September and order you to check out the Cartoonist's archives! The stupid bugger (aka The Cartoonist) will be back tomorrow.

 Fictitious Book Covers. The gallery of U.N.C.L.E. paperback covers inspired me somehow. Because I had nothing else going on, I pinched the design and created a series of fake MI5 information booklets. All from 1965, I swear! More strange book covers to follow. Most probably. Or perhaps not. Who knows. All depending on "work". Proper work. Enjoy.

 Casshern. No idea what this is about, it's all in Japanese and comes straight from the Apple Japan Movie Trailers website. But CGI fans should have a look at Casshern, even if the trailer is a 20MB download - it's worth every second.

 Bad Mood. I'm in a really, really, really bad mood today. I went for a job interview in London which went completely haywire. And it wasn't my fault. Normal blogging will resume after I've calmed down a bit.

 Made in AdLand. The Mini Cooper Robot. Amazing. A proper robot at last? Check out the videos, especially this one [561kb, Quicktime]. Via linkfilter.And, of course, it's a hoax. It's an ad. See things. I first had the vision to build a robot while working as an engineer on the old Mini Coopers in the late 1960s. There were no real robots at the time of course, so it was purely science-fiction. But I always believed a robot would be the most natural complement to the automobile - a full biped, intelligent version having great strength, dexterity and a library of mechanical knowledge. I imagined a robot with the ability to repair vehicles, direct traffic and watch over high-accident crossroads to preempt accidents.

 Essex. On my way down to the off license store I happened to come across my local Oxfam. Outside I noticed a stack of Essex Countryside magazines, all dating from the sixties. Being a true Essex Boy, I bought three of them, all for 20p each. And spent the day scanning in covers and a few pages. Enjoy. Especially the ads.

Before the cool computers of desktop publishing was the hot heat of wax and the sharp steel of Xacto knives. Manual page composition made men of young lads like Gene Gable. In this installment: Gene ponders the lost art of paste-up, or the waning of waxing.

 The Navy Painter. I just love the blogosphere. Gordon Coale, who also runs an excellent weblog, left the following comment regarding my 'Submarines in art' entry:...the image you used was drawn by my grandfather, Griffith Baily Coale. He was instrumental in starting the Navy's combat artist program. I have a site on him that has examples of his other work for the Navy as well as his amazing writings about his experiences and travels while in the Navy. The website is fascinating - excerpts from diaries, books and paintings. Fab.
