TROUT MEMO (1,2 & 3))<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the Second World War Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books would often scribble his madcap ideas \u2018on how to end the war\u2019 on bits of scrap paper and secretly hid them between the leaves of a book on Fly Fishing. He called it his \u201cTrout Memo.\u201d I was fascinated with this compendium of ideas and the somewhat eccentric title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have recently published my own version of this concept, in which I have collated plot ideas for screenplays, reviews of books that don\u2019t exist, extracts from dream diaries, wabi-sabi concepts, unfinished projects, photography, Collage and flash fiction into a playful Dadaist tome. The central character is an alter ego of mine called Johnny Satan which acts as an MC subverting the James Bond character throughout the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dream Diaries.
A collection of flash fiction, dream recordings, photography,
Collage and poetry inspired by the Artist\u2019s dream diaries.
A trout memo is a scrapbook of ideas exploring the wabi-sabi of the everyday.
Gallows humour mixed with revelatory hypnagogic experiences, mashed together in a (Spike) Milligan-esque tome.
\u2028
\u201cThe best Collage work I\u2019ve seen for a long time\u201d
