Dundee likes its statues. I realised last night that I’m Ike’s mascot and he just takes me on all his adventures because he feels sorry for me.


We’ve been playing with fire!

And it has been good. Many hundreds of people with flaming torches.

Sue’s hat scared the children, so she had to take it off while collecting.


Ike doesn’t know a lot about art, but he knows what he likes

It’s easy to make fun of the ready-mades, but every so often there’s something of beauty you wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. This isn’t one of those. It’s just a manhole cover. But it got Ike excited.


Ike and I are at the Pompidou

Unlike the Louvre we’re tempted to go in. I think that’s for tomorrow, along with Arts et Metiers. For today we’re off to the erotica museum.

No, really, this is not a left over picture from the New York trip. There are two statues of Liberty in Paris. This one is on an island in the Seine. I’d have taken this photo from the front, but there were a bunch of teenagers hanging out at the base of the statue and I got all self conscious about whipping my rat out with them around.

A prop for the first few episodes of Venn. In the universe of Venn Ike, AKA The Mouse, is a huge media star and even has his own wine.
The label was designed by Meg from my brief (“It’s a cheap white and it’s got the Mouse on it.”) I printed it on sticky label and put it on a bottle of cheap white wine. There will be two bottles of this, one full one empty, for continuity purposes.
