Yes, he’s at it again, waxing lyrical on all matters under the sun to the captivated (?) Joe public, but this time he’s in sporting mode and he’s found some fresh ears from overseas. Catch the latest Alby Figgs episode, Olympians, over at the Alby site now.
PS Alby Figgs in no way endorses or condones certain sporting events or is, in anyway, commercially entitled from said profits or will be taking corporate handouts in any shape or form. Unless asked to…
Richard Burton, Dylan Thomas, Audrey Hepburn and Francis Bacon, all hanging outside a fitzrovian pub with our Alby, right here @ Alby Figgs. No kidding!
This week over at the Alby Figgs site, Alby put’s to rest the oft questioned origin of one of pop cultures eternal mysteries, namely The Shadows ‘funny walk’.
Who’d have thought it, eh? But wait! Who’s that bronzed, shaded stranger in the Bentley? Find out more (?) @ http://wp.me/2xlpi
Just out today @ http://albyfiggs.wordpress.com/ Alby Figgs in Gravy! Straight up. This time, everybody’s favourite street sage spills the, er, gravy on the innermost workings of one of our best loved (?!) celebrity chefs and his part in his success/ downfall. You be the judge…
Snowgoose, part two in the ongoing saga of Alby Figgs @ http://albyfiggs.wordpress.com/ is now up online, people. This time, Alby shatters the myth of a much loved national treasure.
It’s the latest publishing sensation to sweep the nation; a septuagenarian with a talent for tall tales and constant banter. No doubt, some Hollywood studio will latch on within weeks to the adventures of one Alby Figgs, but right now, you can say you were there first at the birth of a comic legend. Either that, or just pass a minute of your time reading his latest conversational run-ins every Friday tea-time on the train home at albyfiggs.wordpress.com
Back a few weeks now from a great ‘return’ trip to Russia with the lovely people at Respect Comics, this time in Moscow. The artists from the first trip and our Yekaterinburg jaunt all met up for the Kommissia Comics Festival, gave talks and workshops and saw the fruits of our labours printed up and on display.
Also paid impromptu visits to the mini-Bulgakov museum, walked around Gorky’s art nouveau house in felt slippers, saw Lenin and Stalin extolling the free market in Red Square and ate Kasha on the Arbat (just missing Vladdy P doing walkabout and mixing it up with the common people) by a day or so.
Big bear hug thanks to Anna, Olga, Heehus, Nastia, Sergei, Wolf and all other fellow Russian and European Respect artists and organisers who made it such a great trip. Большое спасибо!
Here’s a few random photos…
