A dedication to some of my very talented friends....

Ventnor's finest, Louis Checkley, is a student at BIMM, and is a singer, guitarist, pianist and songwriter. Check out his lush melt-in-the-mouth tones on his MySpace page. You can find him at open-mike nights around Brighton.

Trevor Vallender, a budding publisher and writer, has only just set up his own blog, 'Miracles and Placebos' so that we can be graced with his imaginative discriptive pieces, such as 'The Black Dog'. Below is an extract;

The last you see before you are taken is the glowing. Their fur is the blackest of blacks, a void of colour, but this serves only to extenuate the monstrous fire in their eyes. If you are attuned to these things as I am, you may catch that fire from the corner of your vision as your time draws near, for the taking is rarely instant. In your last days they watch you, judging you before returning you to their master.

I know not who their master might be. Were the Greeks right on this, as so many things? Do they tend to Hades beck and call? All I can say is there must be some power which tears them from their restless sleep in the Styx, that timeless barrier between this life and the after.


Tom Stuart, all round techno-geek, is a pretty-dab hand with a paint brush (paint, as in, yes, paint the computer programme!) Funny charactertures and thought-provocking images... (make a site, Tom!)

I Scream

'Mother Earth'



'Arny'

A lot of my friends have some amazing talents (all though some of them keep them to themselves!)

I'm proud (:
