Greetings passerby, as you may have noticed there has been some strangeness afoot at the Police box. I'd have to admit it is pretty odd. I'd like to invite you, if you have been in anyway entertained by it, to contribute some money to our crowd fund.
We are heading to the Greek Island of Samos to paint a mural with Syrian refugees and do a bit of clowning with the kids there. This has been partly sponsored by the council on the Island. Just click the link and you can follow pyreism on here or twitter, tumblr and facebook. I'm not brilliant at computers but will have my smart phone with me to record everything.
As well as drawing and painting I take a lot of pictures so the more people that follow the more convinced we'll be that we are making a difference and helping these poor people. We are also going to produce a film from the footage we take....that is pretty likely to be played here in the police box during the fringe.
Here's the crowd fund..........https://www.gofundme.com/reclaim-the-seas

Having been spending most of our time off planet Earth these things have not been updated as often as they should. I came to Edinburgh to study glass, you can read all about that in this blog. After that I've tried a few things, none of which I ever seem to get paid for but it has ranged from journalism to community gardening. You'll see in my twitter account people gave us an award for that! I got a selfie taken with Nicola Sturgeon!
In the picture below I did a spot of advertising for the Big Issue and one of my all time favorite artists Ralph Steadman! I don't know what he thought about it. It's a play on some old black and white movies and the politics at the time. I thought it was pretty clever, I had to use Primark...or primani as I call it as the shoot location! I've made all my own clown gear by buying cheap out of primark then ramping the gear up a bit with patches and sequins. Im not a big fan of sweat shops so I feel this is a way of highlighting them while still being able to afford to make my own clothes. Obviously its incredibly fashionable and soon everyone will be doing it. In the bigger picture if everyone here learns to sew again maybe we will become more sustainable and fabric will be more affordable.
I'm soon to branch off into free enterprise but for now....I'm leaving for Samos tomorrow!
Please give us some money or see you around the TARDIS sometime soon to buy something!
