Campaign for Rhonda Wilson-9 Days Left to Help

In 1998, I was working at Jessops cameras in Leicester after finishing at University, not really having a clue about how to take my wonderful photography degree and turn that into a living. Rhonda Wilson had been a tutor to me at Nottingham Trent and had been a wonderful source of inspiration and support. At…

What do Welsh Dragons do at home?

Jamie Oliver was on TV last night with his new show; Save With Jamie. I have to be honest though, I don’t think he has anything on my friend, Saethwr. Especially when it comes to kitchen skills. How useful would a dragon be as a culinary assistant? Creme Brulee for one. Baked Alaska, check! Any…

At Home With The Furries and Wired Magazine (Italy)

Fangorn The Tiger- At Home With The Furries

After we’d breathed fire with Saethwr, we headed off to Swansea to meet up with a tiger. Fangorn tweeted me after the Sunday Times ran the furry series saying he would love to take part in the project, and once I’d seen his suit I had to agree. It’s what we call in the trade…

Saethwr the Dragon-At Home With The Furries

Two weeks ago, I photographed a red dragon who lives in Cardiff, there I’ve said it. Surely I don’t have to explain any further. Saethwr, pronounced Sa-thea is a furry with a particulary interesting fursuit, one of most unique in the UK, he’s a great big dragon with massive wings. We’ve been speaking for a…

Pazuzu vs Kebab-At Home With The Furries

Spoiler Alert: There were no kebabs eaten, I think Pazuzu is really a secret salad eater. Soon as we got in there, he could not make up his mind. A sure sign of someone who’s guzzling sorrel, lettuce and tomatoes on a regular basis. Pazuzu is quite unusual for a furry as he really plays…
