I've been mainly making pamphlets this week in preparation for an appearance at the Wigtown Book Festival. It's a joint reading with Vivien Jones, called Bloodlines. 4.30pm in the Wigtown Ink marquee, which is in the Bookshop Garden.
I have copies of Grave with Lights nearing readiness. Choice of two covers at the moment - the London one (nice), and the vaguely S+M rubber-effect black one. Be interesting to see which proves more popular.
What I'm really looking forward to is having my picture taken by Kim Ayres, who is the Wigtown artist-in-residence. His portraits, in black and white, are uncompromising and I'm interested to see how closely my mental vision of what I look like matches Kim's reality.
Kim is keeping a blog of his work. I'd recommend a peek: faces are fascinating. He's here: http://kimayreswigtown.blogspot.com/
I'd show you some pictures, but blogger doesn't want to play with me this morning.
Update: ha ha, it's working again! Covers below.
