edit - the design has passed the ridiculously strict guidelines and mine is on its way.
As the years progress, my golden locks of hair are fast dissappearing, meaning I can save money by giving the hairdresser a miss and either trimming my remaining follicles down to the wood or, if feeling energetic, go for a run when my hair literally becomes fly-away. Sometimes a bloke in the pub may do me a favour and just blow on my head and make a wish, although picking hair from the top of my pint becomes a bit of a pain.
To celebrate being able to pick up Sky News and digital radio using just my head as an aerial, I’ve produced a T-Shirt which, if so inclined, you may wish to purchase for yourself, maybe a past leader of The Conservative Party (and soon the present one) or perhaps a previous Scottish hard-man-of-many-job-titles Labour Party enforcer.

I’m taking no commission for a week or so but will add a couple of quid soon.
The shirt is printed using a flock print which is incredibly robust - NOT transfer printing.
Delivery is usually withing one working week (for me in London anyway) but I’ve had deliveries much quicker.
If you buy one or two shirts, these can usually make it through the letterbox with no problem, so no waiting in for a delivery.

There are various colours and quality of shirts to choose from, some under a tenner (exc. delivery).

Dave Hill asks what will Boris wear to Gay Pride and, in a later post, suggests an earlier image of mine.

Here’s an attempt at a different ensemble.
Normally, when you do a face or head swap in an image editor, you need to find parts that fit naturally and if you don’t, then it’s rarely worth doing as the differences in angles, skintones and light direction are too damn obvious.
I foolishly kept on going with this attempt but cheated in order to disguise some of the problems by over-saturating the image and overlaying a halftone.

Here’s another attempt :

….I was waiting for this - And the prize for the first dickhead, trying to claim the image is homophobic to suit his/her agenda is the totally impartially named ‘zanuliebours’ on Tory Trolls blog.

May as well bring this out again for this year.

John McCain’s speechwriters become a bit more daring in their attempts to rescue the liberals and younger voters.
GC’s voice upped in pitch a tad. A bit rough but my trial versions of nearly every commercial video editor available have expired
(although virtualdub (freeware) was pretty handy to get this far.)
If I find another editor, I may stop JMcC’s gob for the second or so that George Carlin pauses.

and btw, Morten Morland has a nice sketch of John McCain HERE.

Well, I haven’t posted much this week. Lots of excuses, none of them interesting.

In the meantime, a couple of drafts I was working on, an old one which I don’t think I’ve put on the blog but is shown on the remnants of the old site which I’ll probably delete soon.
EDIT - All references to that image now removed from this site - I’m bored with it all so visitors must be thoroughly sick of it as well.

a rough of a Gordon Brown missing files image.

The image below won second place in the first viral competition about three years ago. I won first and third as well that year but didn’t place the following year. I think the competition has been discontinued now. In fact, the second competition didn’t live up to the hype with the promised second show at the ICA not materialising.

Yesterday’s image for Channel 4 News.
