New fanart by Matheus Viana, who says, “this is my tribute to the great ATD and the marvelous anime Akira!”. Particularly impressed with how I look kinda half baked and happy and have chair antlers. Amazing.

Not sure if I posted this here the other day, so have at ye a beautiful artwork on canvas I got in the post from Americaland and the brush of longtime ATD correspondant Christopher Beck. It arrived on Wednesday, a day before my birthday, whihc was pretty fortuitiius, and right now it lives on my shiny red bookshelf while it awaits a frame.

CHEERS DUDES YOU ARE GREAT ARTISTS AND I AM RROUD OF YOU!

More fanart over here.Send yours to akirathedon at gmail dot com. PAX!

So I was out in LA last week, on my way to a Hollywood recording studio with Wade, when our passage was blocked by The Iron Man 3 premiere. I’ve never been near a hollywood movie premiere before. It was pretty creepy, there were all these screetching creatures weilding giant blow up Robert Downer Jnr. dolls.

Anyway, it reminded me I’d started a beautiful and powerful piece of music based around a sample from the first trailer some months back, for no good reason other than stoned enjoyment, and certainly no intended project for it to live on. So when I got back to Don Studios in London I FINISHED THAT THING and then I UPLOADED that thing and now its yours. ALE JACA EST!

1: that is a NEW VIDEO! I managed to get it uploaded with minutes to spare before leaving Don Studios to fly to San Francisco yesterday. Enough minutes for a spliff, in fact. AMAZING. The video was shot at V Festival last year, in the Our House party spot that I was emceeing masterfully. I must have spent about a week editing that thing. It was a Herculean Labour of Love and I hope you dig it.

2: I AM IN FRISCOOOOOOO! INSTANT JOYWAVE! IT IS SUNNY AND LUSH! I GOT MY ROOTS DID BY HAIR OF THE GODS! AND DRANK WHISKEY COCKTAILS!
