After a long Saturday lie-in listening to The Big Paws on Rhubarb Radio, I got to join Pete Ashton and Fiona Cullinan on a photoshoot of The Destroyers – first at their rehearsal space on Lombard Street before moving to a car park on Liverpool Street, where Pete effectively herded cats with a megaphone to take some great shots of Paul Murphy running away from a truck-full of Destroyers.
The substandard pics I took are in the slideshow above. It was so much fun, especially when we thought up the idea for a Destroyers calendar – tasteful yet sexy shots of the Destroyers boys with strategically placed instruments. Fiona got started with shooting Mr September:

Lovely. Then we made our way to The Custard Factory, where art supplies shop The Bench were celebrating their 7th birthday with some sort of graffiti-athon thing.
Unfortunately some paint ended up in the pool, which meant murky waters for the cardboard coracle race in Sunday’s Digbeth O’Lympics. The Bench are recent additions to The Custard Factory, where they’ve been for a couple of months after moving from Quinton.
Before heading home I had a another look around Inkygoodness’ Wonderland exhibition in the Vaad Gallery.
