The Soldier

It was a standard visit to the grandparents, more of an obligation than a mutual longing to see each other. Of course we wanted to see them. I mean, I got to sleep in a king sized bed and eat like a king too. Just, it would have been nicer if it was next weekend, and I’d rather it not be a two hour car journey to get there…and I’d probably miss Liverpool vs. Man U.

Grandpa could get on my nerves too. I don’t know if it’s really right to say that, him being my elder and supposedly ten times wiser than I am, therefore making any of my opinions invalid, as he’s probably seen and done everything there is to see and do in life, the universe and everything.

Snapper Welly Interview

Snapper is a local creative working in Hull and is renowned for his distinctive art style that can be found on amongst other things the Welly club promotional material.

How long have you been in Hull and long have you been involved in the cultural scene?

During my time studying in Hull, I started on the long road of making a name for myself as a creative-  this, and being a fan of Hull in general, led to moving here permanently. I can’t say for certain how involved I actually am with the cultural scene, but I’ve been trying to contribute to it from the start of my (official) career as a creative, 4 or 5 years ago.
